AT&T Launches U-Verse in Ohio

AT&T has announced the launch of AT&T U-verse in parts of 51 local communities in the Columbus area. AT&T is now taking orders for the service and will begin installing services for new customers on Dec. 24.

AT&T U-verse services are currently available in the following local areas: Bexley, Blendon Township, Bloom Township, Brice, Brown Township, Canal Winchester, Clinton Township, Columbus, Concord Township, Dublin, Etna Township, Franklin Township, Gahanna, Genoa Township, Grandview Heights, Grove City, Groveport, Hamilton Township, Harlem Township, Harrison Township, Hilliard, Jackson Township, Jefferson Township, Liberty Township, Lithopolis, Madison Township, Marble Cliff, Mifflin Township, Minerva Park, New Albany, Norwich Township, Orange Township, Pataskala, Perry Township, Pickerington, Plain Township, Pleasant Township, Powell, Prairie Township, Reynoldsburg, Riverlea, Scioto Township, Sharon Township, Shawnee Hills, Truro Township, Upper Arlington, Violet Township, Washington Township, Westerville, Whitehall and Worthington.

The introduction of AT&T U-verse services in Columbus follows progressive legislation passed by the Ohio General Assembly and signed by Gov. Ted Strickland in June 2007. Ohio Am. Sub. Senate Bill 117 established statewide uniform standards that streamline the video provider authorization process and encourage competition and new investment. As a result of that legislation, AT&T announced plans in September to invest $500 million throughout Ohio for fiber network upgrades and further broadband deployment to, in part, support the delivery of AT&T U-verse services.
