Residents of Baton Rouge, Louisiana and surrounding areas will soon have a new choice when it comes to television service, as AT&T U-verse is now being deployed in the area.
That is bad news for Cox cable, and to a lesser extent satellite TV companies Dish Network and Direct TV. Cox cable in particular has come under fire in recent years as they have continued to raise rates on their subscriber base. The new U-verse service is not yet available everywhere in Baton Rouge, but will be deployed over the next several months as networks are upgraded to offer the service.
AT&T U-verse uses the latest VDSL technology to deliver high speed internet, voice, and cable TV service to subscribers over the existing network. Cox cable customers in Baton Rouge have been able to bundle services for several years now, though the price hasnt always been right. U-verse TV, voice, and internet services offer an alternative to Cox, and new customers can often get a great deal. Current AT&T offers include their Buy Two, Get one Free internet special, and various cash back incentives are also available if you order U-verse online.
Video competitors Dish Network and Direct TV may also feel the impact of AT&T U-verse coming to a new market. While satellite television companies cannot offer triple play bundles unless they partner with the local phone company, they have been able to capitalize on the high prices most cable TV companies charge.
Additional information on AT&T U-verse service can be found by visiting or calling these AT&T retail locations in Baton Rouge.

I would switch in a heartbeat if this was available in my area. Hopefully Dish network will make some changes to compete with U-verse.
