AT&T Broadband LLC was an American digital cable television and telecommunications provider that served as the cable operations division of AT&T. It was founded in March 1999 when AT&T acquired the assets of TCI and renamed it as AT&T Digital Cable. The next year, it was renamed again as AT&T Broadband, and the company had acquired MediaOne as well and became the largest cable operations company in the United States. In 2001, AT&T swapped the cable systems in the San Joaquin Valley region of California, eastern Oregon, northern Utah, and southern Idaho to Cable One; while at the same time acquiring a couple Paragon/Time Warner Cable clusters in Texas and Oregon. Later that same year, it was announced that AT&T Broadband and the Comcast Corporation will be merging their assets into "AT&T Comcast Corporation." The deal was finalized in mid-November 2002 and AT&T Broadband fully merged into Comcast Corporation.
