AT&T has announced it is bringing its U-verse broadband, telephone, and television system to Springfield, Missouri providing residents an alternative to cable service from Mediacom.
“We’re very excited to offer a competitive choice to Springfield consumers,” said Kris Ryan, general manager of AT&T Home Solutions for the greater Missouri region.
Unfortunately, most Springfield residents will have to wait before the service becomes available in their neighborhood. AT&T has only limited service available in Springfield, Battlefield, Nixa, Republic and parts of Fremont Hills. The company has a tradition of announcing U-verse, and then slowly deploying service on a neighborhood-by-neighborhood basis over the next several years.
Potential customers noticed, complaining that entire zip codes in and around the Springfield area currently do not have U-verse available.
When the service does arrive, residents can expect pricing ranging from $19 – $167 a month, depending on how many channels and what type of broadband speed is desired.

It’s about time we get another option besides Mediacom. Mediacom’s prices are ridiculous. I pay 61.00 a month for less than 60 channels if I send about 20.00 more month with att uverse I can get almost 300 channels. Mediacom should be put out of businesses for price gouging.
