Houston subscribers make up nearly 20% of AT&T's U-verse base

The numbers are in, and it's clear Houston adores U-verse. Since launching the service in the Texas city some 23 months ago, a whopping 100,000 residents have made the switch to AT&T's fiber-based programming service. In and of itself, that number isn't too significant, but when you consider that the carrier only has 549,000 U-verse TV customers (as of Q2 2008), you'll quickly realize how important the Houston market is to the company. Nearly 1 in 5 (18.2%) U-verse TV customers reside in or around Houston, and not surprisingly, the provider is continuing to expand its service in the region. Just remember Houston, AT&T owes you one if it hits that magical one million mark before 2009.

Of course, they leave out people that live near the Texas Medical Center. Do they assume people living in apartments don't want U-verse either? I WANT TO DITCH COMCAST, DAMN IT!

I know of several apartment complexes around town that have U-Verse. AT&T is actually targeting apartments because they can get a larger subscriber base in a smaller area. You might ask your complex why they aren't offering it.

The apartments called The Alexan Heights off of I-10 has U-Verse. Ask your complex if they offer it. Comcast blows! Ever since Comcast took over for Time Warner, it's never been the same so I feel your pain.

Comcast, the most compressed HD channels, ever.
