AT&T to invest $400 million to bring U-verse to Tennessee

by Darren Murph, posted Jul 10th 2008 at 4:54PM

Welp, the fat lady has sung. After a long run-up to the inevitable, AT&T has finally admitted that it will be stringing its U-verse services into the Volunteer State. Reportedly, the provider will be coughing up $400 million over the next few years for "fiber network upgrades," which it will likely use to deliver high-speed internet, digital phone service and television programming to the fine citizens of Tennessee. Unfortunately, AT&T failed to reveal a timeline of events for us to focus on, but judging by how long we've been waiting with no results from that supposed investment in the Carolinas, we wouldn't call and cancel that Comcast service just yet.

[Thanks, John]

I hope this comes soon.

I have seen a lot of work being done along I40 in Nashville, cables being buried out towards Bellevue and on 65 to Brentwood, so hopefully we will get something by Christmas.

Comcast here is starting to have more and more issues.
