U-Verse Voice Hits Ohio U-Verse triple play hits Reno Tipped by boogi man 
AT&T continues to slowly expand their U-Verse VoIP offering, this morning announcing they've launched the VDSL-based product in portions of both Columbus and Cleveland, Ohio. As previously mentioned, the service is pricier than indie VoIP, but about on par with VoIP service from many of the cable providers. The company offers two flavors: unlimited VoIP for $40 monthly, or 1000 minutes of talk time for $30. Additional lines are $20, and you must bundle U-Verse TV. AT&T also this morning announced the launch of U-Verse in portions of the Reno, Nevada market.

Valencia, CA | When will AT&T Offer just an Internet + VoIP solution ?
Sure, you can jump through some hoops, or get plain DSL (1.5Mbps in my case), but then AT&T won't let you port your number if you're a legacy DSL customer.
Why do they make this so difficult ?

3 edits | Re: When will AT&T It's because At&t focus is television not broadband if they wanted every one to have up to 25 megabits they could easily. The problem is they have a personal grudge against cable company's. When they see a cable company taking away their bread and butter land lines they want to go for cables bread and butter television service.
I guess it all breaks down to money. Apparently to AT&T the demand is an alternative to cable or Satellite tv, even if the market is saturated with video providers. U verse is AT&Ts lame attempt to compete with cable television, its not about bringing broadband to new people or expanding speeds, its about video. | |

Hingham, MA | Re: When will AT&T It isn't some strange hatred of cable- television is way more profitable than internet service, even with carriage fees. | |

Valencia, CA | Re: When will AT&T I tend to agree... Cable companies, however offer Internet and VoIP only packages, while Telco does not... even though Telco has been primarily DSL+POTS for many years.

There was a post in an earlier thread that claimed there were union problems between U-Verse installers and DSL installers that prevented TV-free U-Verse from being sold, though I don't know how accurate that really is. | |

Valencia, CA | Re: When will AT&T Pretty accurate.
I'm on DSL-Extreme, and they are not allowed to resell any portion of Uverse, and even require DSL to be installed with POTS line (per AT&T)
AT&T isn't publically selling TV-free Uverse unless its a 'business' (BBR has an article) and charges more.
I've been able to have AT&T over the phone sell me TV free Uverse, but they also told me that I could keep my existing DSL running at the same time.

Coloma, MI | Rick's on-target editorials are far more interesting than T's weekly press release/announcment that they have deployed another VRAD. Yawn!

Oklahoma City, OK | It's one thing to to disagree with some one its totally with out class to insult some one. Rick is right about AT&T they really need to deploy fiber to the home in order to compete.
I guess the thought of the cost makes AT&Ts investors cringe. | |
| | | | | Re: Rick? said by Tweak:It's one thing to to disagree with some one its totally with out class to insult some one. Is 'long-winded' an insult?
Is 'anti-AT&T' an insult?
Is 'rant' an insult?
That pretty much covers my post, don't think I put any insults in there. You, however, just insulted me with the 'with out class' remark.
If I was going to insult people, I'd just turn this account over to my wife. She's a pro!
