MediaOne, metropolitan Atlanta's primary provider of Broadband services, announced late last week that it has reached an agreement with Winn-Dixie stores to give MediaOne customers the option of paying their monthly bill at any of the supermarket's 57 stores in the region.

"We are pleased to be working with the Winn-Dixie stores in Atlanta to bring this added convenience to our customers," said Ellen Filipiak, senior vice president for MediaOne's Atlanta region. "Now, when our customers are out running errands, they can pick up their groceries and pay their cable bill when it is most convenient for them."

In order to pay a MediaOne bill at Winn-Dixie, customers should bring their monthly statement to the store's courtesy desk. The payment will be posted to the account on the next business day. Customers will be charged a 75-cent processing fee to cover administrative costs incurred by the retailer. The supermarket payment centers will not be equipped to handle service calls, pay-per-view or converter issues.

In addition to the new Winn-Dixie payment centers, MediaOne customers can enjoy the following convenient payment options:

· Mail payments to the address listed on their monthly statement.

· Call MediaOne customer service at 770-559-2000 24-hours a day to charge by phone to their Visa, Mastercard, American Express or Discover.

· Use MediaOne's Paybill Advantage, a free service which automatically pays the cable bill from a checking account 20 days from the statement date.

· Pay by check, cash, money order or credit card in person at the customer service center at 107 Glynn Street in Fayetteville.
