AT&T Brings U-verse Fiber Optic Television Service to Houston, Texas
6:30 am on December 2, 2006 | Category: Business, Telecom Services, Television
Telecom giant, AT&T Inc., has begun rolling-out its fiber optic internet television service in the city of Houston, Texas, where it is now offering a variety of digital, high-definition, and digital video recording packages.
“We have all the things people want in communication services, and our emphasis is on integrating it all together,” commented AT&T’s vice president and general manager for the Houston metropolitan area, Ed Cholerton.
The new U-verse fiber optic television service uses IP technology to deliver programming into the homes of customers, and allow users to record shows and edit DVR preferences remotely from any web-connected computer.
Offerings like U-verse, along with the newly launched wireless services of cable operators, are dramatically increasing the level of competition between incumbent cable and telephone providers.
In the city of Houston, AT&T’s digital television packages currently cost between $44 and $129, depending on the amount of programming and internet services selected. High-Definition reception on select channels costs an additional $10/month.

I am trying to locate the contractor who dug up my backyard to install the Uverse fiber optic cable and has failed to fill the large holes that were created. This is in the Northampton subdivision.
