It should come as no surprise that AT&T is hard at work expanding its U-verse network in the state of Illinois. After all, the carrier agreed to provide U-verse to "all areas of the state" in exchange for a license that covered Chicago. At any rate, a new report in The State Journal-Register asserts that AT&T is "well along with construction of a fiber-optic network on the north side of Springfield," and construction was affirmed to be in progress by an unnamed company spokeswoman. Sadly, no estimated launch date was talked about, but we suppose it's hard to grumble about progress.

wait, chicago? really? i'm fairly certain that u-verse is unavailable within chicago. maybe in a couple of the suburbs... hurry up already, or if you're not doing anything with it, get the hell out and let verizon jump in.
just checked yet again, and no, I can't get uverse in palatine. I would gladly give up comcast, but if AT&T's tv units are as reliable as Comcasts', I don't think I would look forward to switching...
