DallasTexasJuly 29, 2013

Whether they prefer vampires or vice presidents, new customers will have access to HBO’s hottest shows, like True Blood® or VEEP®, without breaking the bank, thanks to the latest offers from AT&T U-verse®.

AT&T* now gives new U-verse® TV customers extra value with HBO and HBO GO included as part of their U-verse experience for 24 months when they sign up for the U-verse TV U200 package and U-verse High Speed Internet Max Plus. Customers who sign up for the U-verse TV U300 package receive even more entertainment with HBO, STARZ® (including STARZ PLAY), ENCORE® (including ENCORE PLAY), Showtime® and The Movie Channel™ included in their package for up to 24 months.

This latest promotion builds on the bundle offers AT&T has been delivering to customers who switch and bundle U-verse services for significant savings. For example, now new AT&T U-verse customers can bundle U-verse TV U300 package, U-verse High Speed Internet Max Plus (18 Mbps), U-verse Voice to receive HBO and more entertainment for $114 for up to 24 months, for savings of $1,728 over two years.**

“Customers aren’t just looking for the best price. They also want access to the best content, wherever they are,” said Mel Coker, Chief Marketing Officer, AT&T Home Solutions. “Now is a great time to switch to U-verse. Customers benefit not only from extra savings, but also the ability to watch HBO’s most popular shows and series across their devices, all included as part of their TV package. It’s another way we’re delivering more value to U-verse TV customers.”

Triple- and quad-play bundle offers are popular among existing customers. About 90 percent of new U-verse TV customers also signed up for U-verse High Speed Internet in the second quarter.
