U-Verse To Hit BellSouth Territory Soon - Atlanta first, though city will be small deployment test bed... - dslreports.com


We recently talked with AT&T about U-Verse deployment plans in the currently unserved Southeast (former BellSouth territory), and the telco insisted to us that you'd see U-Verse in Atlanta before the end of the year.

The Atlanta Journal Constitution has an update, and confirms that U-Verse will be seen in Atlanta this year, but the initial footprint will be rather small as the company aims to test the system on BellSouth's network:

The telecom giant says about 200 families in metro Atlanta will get 300-plus channels piped into their homes — — by the end of this year. Atlanta is the first city in the Southeast to get the service. "This is a controlled launch of a few hundred homes," AT&T spokesman Wes Warnock said, adding it will allow for a sort of dry run to test systems and work out any kinks.
AT&T announced yesterday that U-Verse had reached the St. Louis market.

Alabama as well. People I have talked to said it will be here within 2-3 years. Maybe ALL of the kinks will be worked out by then.
