AT&T’s U-Verse Arrives

1

At 12:01am today AT&T unleashed a press release that their long-awaited U-Verse IPTV service has been turned on in South Florida.

Several communities in Miami-Dade, Broward and Palm Beach County will get the IPTV service with Palm Beach officially on July 28th.

AT&T touts the availability of 45 HD channels and the ability to record 4 channels at once withe their DVR. I think its 4 standard definition channels though, not HD.

DSL internet speeds are also going to increase with upload speed going to 1-1.5Mbps from 512Kbps.

AT&T’s service unlike Comcast and Verizon is truly IPTV. It’s basically television over a DSL connection.

Which is also one of its shortfalls since VDSL is limited by distance from the central office, large boxes have to be installed closer to residences. I believe with U-Verse you can watch simultaneously one or two HD channels only depending on what capacity the local area setup has.
