For those in the Detroit Michigan area U-verse TV and internet services should be readily available. The goal to expand services from AT&T is now reaching to 300,000 living units as reported by the AT&T press room.

This is really great news for all those wanting an alternative to cable and a chance to experience U-verse services. Since reaching Michigan, AT&T has been on a constant basis to expand services. Which is mainly in Southeast Michigan, far south Wyandotte, and as far as Lake Orion.

So buckle up Detroit because U-verse is here to stay!

Just in time for Major League Baseball divisional playoffs AT&T has added TBS to their HD package. “The agreement also allows for the continued carriage of TNT HD and will give AT&T U-verse TV customers access to CNN HD later this year.” - AT&T Press Room

More HD is always better in my book!

AT&T annouced today that it’s U-verse TV and Internet services are now available to 400,000 customers in the Houston area. This is significant for AT&T because their local launch was only in November of 2006.

“AT&T has expanded the Houston availability of AT&T U-verse on an ongoing basis. The service is offered today in parts of communities across Brazoria, Fort Bend, Galveston, Harris and Montgomery counties, and there are plans to continue reaching even more customers.” - AT&T Press Room

“Around 400,000 Houston homes can now enjoy a television experience that’s cooler than cable,” said Ed Cholerton, AT&T vice president and general manager for the Houston area. “Today’s news could come at no better time for Houston customers who are eager for a new video choice, and we’re continuing to make AT&T U-verse TV available more widely.” - AT&T Press Room
