High Speed Internet Service Providers Reviewed

AT&T Uverse customers in Connecticut  are getting a belated holiday gift.  Uverse added two channels to the lineup for northeastern sports fans, including teams that play in or around Madison Square Garden.  The channels – MSG HD and MSG + HD, feature teams including the New York Islanders hockey team, the New Jersey Devils, and the New York Rangers.  This change comes as a result of a federal appeals court ruling in December where Cablevision attempted to block internet service providers AT&T and Verizon from carrying the channels.  Cablevision had spun off the channels in 2011, but wanted to decide which providers could access it’s content.  Cablevision views the ruling as a “manipulation of federal law by Verizon and AT&T.”  Dan York, President of Cotent for AT&T said “After years of seeking access to this programming, we’re pleased to bring MSG HD and MSG + HD to U-verse TV customers.  We’re delighted that our U-verse TV customers now have access to these important HD sports channels on reasonable terms.  We will continue to work diligently on behalf o four customers to continue enhancing U-verse TV by adding the content they want at fair terms and prices.”
