AT&T Offers The Whole Enchilada- Broadband Internet That Flexs Depending on Where You Are and What You Are Doing

Source: alanweinkrantz.typepad.com

Being based in San Antonio, we think in terms of Mexican food.  I used to see former AT&T Chairman Ed Whitacre dine at LaFogatta, one of my personal faves.  When you get the whole enchilada, you get the whole thing, the big meal, the super combo deluxe dinner.

The phone company as we no longer know it has just launched AT&T Net Reach, a whole enchilda approach to providing home and on-the-go high speed Internet services for the ever-moving consumer and small business customer.

3Screens.net News Summary:

  • Combining the strengths of AT&T’s wireless and wireline networks, Net Reach includes AT&T High Speed Internet and LaptopConnect services, in addition to free access to more than 17,000 hot spots with AT&T Wi-FiSM service.
  • Plus, as part of the LaptopConnect service, new software automatically detects the strongest available AT&T signal from a nearby network — 3G, EDGE, Wi-Fi or one’s AT&T High Speed Internet connection at home — making connecting simple and easy.
  • AT&T Net Reach provides high speed Internet service at home, access to AT&T’s 3G wireless network in more than 275 major metro areas, national coverage on AT&T’s EDGE wireless network and free access to more than 17,000 Wi-Fi hot spots nationwide, including roughly 7,000 Starbucks locations.
  • The latest AT&T Communication Manager software, version 6.8, now pre-installed on the AT&T USBConnect 881, adds ease of use by picking up AT&T network signals directly from one’s laptop.
  • Customers may also download the new AT&T Communication Manager, at no cost, by visiting www.att.com. AT&T Net Reach plans are now available, starting at $79.95 a month, and may be ordered by calling AT&T or by visiting a local AT&T retail location.

How To Buy:
AT&T Net Reach is available to new and existing residential and small business customers who subscribe to AT&T High Speed Internet and AT&T LaptopConnect services. Customers must also opt to combine their wireless and wireline services onto one billing statement.
