U-Verse TV (AT&T U-Verse)
U-Verse TV (formerly AT&T U-Verse) is an IP-based pay television service and broadband provider operated by DirecTV, which itself is majority-owned by AT&T. The U-Verse brand is used interchangeably to describe a pay television service, broadband Internet provider and home telephone service, each of which operates on the same hybrid fiber platform.
U-Verse was depreciated in 2020, with AT&T halting sales of the service to new customers, though existing customers with active accounts are allowed to continue using the service. In its place, AT&T has pushed customers toward DirecTV via Satellite, DirecTV via Internet and DirecTV Stream.
