AT&T celebrates one year of U-verse in Ohio, promises further expansion

by Darren Murph, posted Sep 26th 2008 at 12:40AM

AT&T has made a habit of patting itself on the posterior whenever it reaches the one-year mark in U-verse deployment at a certain locale, but given that it also took the time to reiterate its $500 million investment in Ohio this go 'round, we figured we'd let you toss on a party hat and join in. Over the past year, U-verse TV has been made available to 600,000 living units in Ohio, and according to the company, it's planning to "invest in fiber network upgrades and further broadband deployment" across the state. As it stands, U-verse is available in parts of nearly 200 Ohio communities -- let's see how much that number changes over the next 12 months, shall we?

They are promising more than just expansion. They are also promising more video compression (moving toward HDlite), and whole-house DVR for overall reduced whole-house recording capacity.

Mooo

Reduced whole house recording capacity? I will still be able to record 2 hd shows and 2 sd shows. I will just be able to watch them from any tv in the house.

you know what sucks though - i live in ohio, and they won't let you just buy the internet. I don't need a freakin' TV package for 100$. Give me that extra bandwidth up to 45mbps for my internet and I'll pay you the 100$.

For the price this has absolutely destroyed my old TW/RR combo. I can deal with waiting for upgrades etc. because I have gotten more from ATT for $35 bucks less a month.

Total Home DVR is just around the corner, and the Internet is much more reliable than RR was.
