AT&T U-verse – Winning The IP&TV Industry Award

To recognize leaders in the IPTV field, the IP&TV World Forum created the IP&TV Industry Award. The award is given to service providers which prove their innovation, achievement and excellence in the IPTV field. Only the elite are eligible for recognition.

IP&TV awards are given out in several different categories. The Best TV Service Innovation is for the best provider of video delivery over both IP and non-IP networks together or IP over a traditionally non-IP infrastructure. The Best Service Growth Achievement recognize a provider or operator who has seen significant growth in the number of subscribers to IP enabled TV services.

Best Multiscreen TV Service and Best Multiscreen TV Solution awards are given to providers which successfully implement an innovative multiscreen viewing experience through multiple viewing terminals at once. Other awards recognize providers for best network technologies, quality improvement and the best TV service delivery platform.

AT&T was honored with an IP&TV Industry Award for the AT&T U-verse TV service. In 2011, AT&T won the Best Multiscreen TV Service award for their innovative approach to providing IPTV service on multiple TV and device at once. They were also nominated for the Best IPTV, Hybrid or Connected TV Service Growth Achievement thanks to their ever expanding service.

Part of the reason AT&T has won not only in 2011, but in past years is in no small part thanks to dedication to delivering the best possible TV experience. The positive feedback they continue to receive from customers only fuels their innovative spirit to create newer and better IPTV technology. As their technology grows, so does their customer base.

During 2010, AT&T set the standard high for the multiscreen IP&TV Industry Award. Their U-verse service was available for TV, Internet, mobile and Xbox 360. This provided viewing options for a wide variety of customers at once. They have quickly become one of the fastest growing provider of IPTV services. Their growth has exceeded other major TV providers in both 2009 and 2010.

The AT&T U-verse service has been winning awards since its inception. With a service growth award from IP&TV in 2009 and a TelcoTV Vision Award for Service Provider Innovation in 2010, U-verse has become a recognized, quality IPTV service. By continuing to develop more innovative technologies which create better viewing experiences and offer customers more features to choose from, AT&T is becoming a true force to be reckoned with in this field.

AT&T DSL Direct

Consumers don’t have to have phone or cable service to enjoy fast, around-the-clock access to the internet. Thanks to AT&T DSL Direct, there’s a superfast, broadband option available to those who only wish to subscribe to a single high speed Internet service without changing their phone line provider.

AT&T DSL Direct High Speed Internet service is for those consumers that just don’t see a point or have a valid reason in subscribing not just to multiple communication and entertainment options, but to regular phone line plus Internet. As the Internet continues to grow with its television programming choices and more people subscribe to cellular phone service, it’s just a simple fact that internet can stand on its own to provide a home or office with the only communication and entertainment tool that’s necessary. If one would opt for regular AT&T High Speed DSL Internet, that would include both AT&T home phone line and Internet. There is also U-verse Internet which is the base service for award winning AT&T U-verse TV service.

So, what does AT&T DSL Direct have to offer consumers? This service is considered among the best in the industry because of its:

  • Speed options – AT&T DSL Direct is designed to provide consumers with a choice of speeds. Ranging from DSL Direct Basic to DSL Direct Elite, the plan’s four speed options are mean to suit a variety of needs. The basic level of service, for example, is ideal for those who only use the internet for emailing, chatting and surfing websites. The middle range options are great for those who want more speed to enjoy video streaming, gaming and other high-demand options. DSL Direct Elite is perfect for home users with big demands. It can also work well for small business customers.
  • Pricing options – AT&T DSL Direct also provides consumers with a great pricing plan. The cost ranges from just under $20 a month to less than $50 for the highest level of service.
  • Plan inclusions – While AT&T DSL Direct is priced to be affordable, the communication company hasn’t skimped on features included with the service. All plans, for example, come with AT&T Wi-Fi included. The Elite and Pro levels of service also enjoy free McAfee Internet Security Suite protection with their subscriptions. The other two plans offer this for only $5 a month. The security suite is even usable on up to 10 computers. Plus, all plans come with 11 email accounts, online photo and video storage, web-based access to emails and more.

Just because a consumer doesn’t need a home telephone provider or television service, doesn’t mean internet access isn’t desired. When a solution that doesn’t skimp on the options is desired, AT&T DSL Direct delivers. This program package provides all the power subscribers need to enjoy the web or even get some serious work done.
