OVERLAND PARK, Kan., Feb. 16, 2015 — /PRNewswire/ -- Imagine downloading 25 songs in less than one second or before you can even crank up the volume. Imagine loading your favorite HD movie in less than 36 seconds, a fraction of the time it takes to pick which movie to watch.
It's now a reality for qualifying residents and small businesses with today's launch of U-verse with AT&T* GigaPower in parts of Kansas City, Mo., parts of Leawood, Lenexa, Olathe, Overland Park, Kan. and in surrounding communities located throughout the metro area. Additionally, AT&T has plans to expand the service to Independence, Mo. and Shawnee, Kan.**
The AT&T GigaPower network provides customers access to the fastest Internet available from AT&T, featuring speeds up to 1 gigabit per second.*** Whether customers are connecting to the cloud, videoconferencing, online gaming or other services, ultra-fast Internet access will improve the customer experience.
U-verse with AT&T GigaPower customers will also have access to award-winning TV services. This includes the ability to watch and record five simultaneous HD streams and AT&T's largest storage capacity DVR, capable of storing up to 900 hours of SD or 330 hours of HD programming. Customers can access the AT&T U-verse app on more than 30 smartphones and tablets to watch more than 200 live TV channels in the home, 110 live TV channels while on the go, stream video on-demand, schedule DVR recordings and more.
Consumers in eligible areas can choose from single, double and triple play offers to ensure they have the right combination of services to fit their needs.

U-verse High Speed Internet 1Gbps: Internet speeds up to 1Gbps for $70 per month****, includes waiver of equipment, installation and activation fees, and a three year price guarantee.
U-verse High Speed Internet 1Gbps + TV: Customers who also select U-verse TV will receive free HBO, HBO GO and HD service for 36 months starting at $120 per month with qualifying TV services.
U-verse High Speed Internet 1Gbps + TV + Voice: Customers will receive all of the benefits of Internet speeds up to 1Gbps and TV package, plus AT&T U-verse Unlimited Voice starting at $150 per month.

"We're proud to launch in these cities as the first locations where we will offer ultra-high speeds to local consumers and employers in the Kansas City area," said Mike Scott, president of AT&T Kansas. "The AT&T GigaPower network will help encourage economic development in the area by facilitating a new wave of innovation through enhanced opportunities for education, health, research and small business growth."
"We've moved quickly to bring more competition to the Kansas City area for blazing-fast Internet speeds and best-in-class television service," said John Sondag, president of AT&T Missouri. "But this is just our initial launch. We look forward to continuing to expand our AT&T GigaPower network in the Kansas City area where there are strong investment cases and receptive customers."
Given the initial and continued success of U-verse with AT&T GigaPower in Austin, AT&T has announced a major expansion initiative. AT&T is considering expanding its all-fiber network up to 100 cities and municipalities across 25 markets. With today's announcement, the AT&T GigaPower network is available to hundreds of thousands consumers and small businesses across parts of the Austin, Dallas, Fort Worth, Kansas City, Raleigh-Durham and Winston-Salem markets. AT&T previously announced plans to deliver U-verse with AT&T GigaPower in parts of 11 additional markets – Atlanta; Charlotte and Greensboro, N.C.; Chicago; Cupertino, Calif.; Houston; Jacksonville, Fla.; Miami; Nashville, Tenn.; St. Louis and San Antonio.
Frost & Sullivan recently recognized AT&T for its leadership in high-speed Internet services, awarding the company the 2015 North American Competitive Strategy and Innovation Leadership of the Year Award for Broadband. The analyst firm praised AT&T for its "aggressive pursuit of higher bandwidth access" for customers through its AT&T GigaPower network initiative.
Additionally, AT&T has committed that upon approval of its proposed acquisition of DIRECTV, the company will expand the AT&T GigaPower network to an additional 2 million customer locations. All of these 2 million locations are over and above what the company announced in 2014.
AT&T has served the Kansas City area for 135 years and employs nearly 12,000 people in Kansas and Missouri.

Can confirm AT&T service is intolerable. In fact even the helpless, no-nothing person that finally shows up to help you but can't will usually admit it. they have no organization. No ability to manage calls. It's like a company operating in 80s Russia. I have never seen a DMV office that was more dysfunctional.

did you have to pay?

All plans I have access to in topeka have a data cap. The highest cap is 500gb and the speed isn't much faster than what I already get but the price is twice as much. My cap is currently 250gb.

I've always thought it was kind of shady that Comcast and Time Warner agree to not offer service in the same territory in the KC area..so they don't have to compete with each other. They literally have an agreement with each other to do that. Another name for conveniently being able to control the price and quality of the service

Yep poor old ILECs I almost want to shed a tear for them

Comcast and Time Warner are in the process of merging. They will likely be the same company soon.
