Velocity IP Plan Makes Award-Winning U-verse Services Available to More Customers in June

SACRAMENTO, Calif., Aug. 5, 2014 /PRNewswire/ -- Thousands more Sacramento-area residents have a new choice for their television and broadband, thanks to wider availability of AT&T U-verse® services. AT&T* today announced that U-verse expanded to about 3,200 local customer locations in June. More than 122,000 customer locations were added across AT&T's wireline territory in the same month.

The services include AT&T U-verse TV, AT&T U-verse High Speed Internet and AT&T U-verse Voice. The expansion is part of AT&T's Velocity IP Plan (VIP), a three-year investment plan to expand and enhance AT&T's wireless and wireline Internet Protocol (IP) broadband networks. It's being driven by growing customer demand for high-speed Internet access and new mobile, app and cloud services.

A large amount of the local growth - about 2,100 customer locations - took place in Sacramento during June. However, customer locations also were added in more than 4 other area towns and neighborhoods, including significant numbers in:
