AT&T adds record number of U-verse TV subscribers in Q4

AT&T's overall Q4 earnings may have dipped 23.6 percent, but its U-verse unit has a few things going for it. Aside from passing the coveted one million mark in customers during the course of last quarter, the company also added a best-ever 264,000 U-verse TV customers. Moreover, the build currently reaches some 17 million living units, but we are told a bit of unfortunate news in terms of future expansion. Remember those plans to "more than double U-verse TV availability by 2010?" Yeah, that has already slipped into 2011, barely a month after the 2010 date was frantically shot out. Alright Verizon, time to get your deployment teams out of Massachusetts and make AT&T regret this, wouldn't you say?

If they would have come just 500ft more down the road...I would have been a happy customer.

I know exactly how you feel. I drive by a house with a "U-Verse watched here" sign in the yard every day. It is no more than five hundred feet away (in a straight line anyway).

I've been told that I'm looking at March or April, but I have no idea if that information is accurate. Meanwhile my Dish Network contract is over, and I either have to re-up, or go without for a couple of months. Hopefully they let you continue service without a contract, because I'm not signing another 2 year deal so that U-Verse can get here a month later.


Come to me...sweet sweet 18mbps internet. Come to daddy. Bring your friend IPTV while you are at it.
