High Speed Internet Access / Cable Television Services in Geneva
AT&T
- Internet - The local AT&T Central Office is located in downtown Geneva at 110 James Street. If you are within 14,000 ft. as the wire runs (not as the crow flies), you will probably be able to get ADSL from AT&T or another DSL vendor . To check what vendors offer DSL service in your neighborhood, please visit http://www.dslreports.com/prequal
- Television - AT&T U-Verse television service is available in some parts of Geneva. AT&T has not committed to a full buildout of Geneva so your best best will be to check with them directly via this link. Only AT&T will be able to tell you when service may arrive and the City of Geneva has no control over what portions of Geneva are covered by this service.
COMCAST
While Federal Law allows for multiple providers to be licensed within a City and, in fact, prohibits exclusive franchise agreements, Comcast is the only cable provider currently offering service in Geneva. Several years back, Comcast completed the rebuild process of Geneva's cable plant allowing them to offer television, cable modem, and phone services within Geneva. For more specific answers, please check directly with Comcast at 800.266.2278 (800 COMCAST) or their website.
