Pacific Bell Digital Services was a division of Pacific Bell that provided a variety of digital services, including high-speed Internet access, digital telephone service, and video services. The division was founded in 1994 and was eventually renamed AT&T California.

Some of the specific services offered by Pacific Bell Digital Services included:

* ADSL (asymmetric digital subscriber line) high-speed Internet access, which offered download speeds of up to 1.5 Mbps and upload speeds of up to 384 kbps.

* T1 lines, which offered dedicated, high-speed data connections for businesses.

* DSL (digital subscriber line) telephone service, which offered clear, high-quality voice calls over existing copper telephone lines.

* Video on Demand (VOD), which allowed customers to watch movies and TV shows on demand.

* High-definition (HD) television service.

Pacific Bell Digital Services was a major player in the telecommunications industry in the 1990s and early 2000s. However, the company faced increasing competition from cable companies and other telecommunications providers. In 2005, Pacific Bell Digital Services was merged with AT&T Broadband to form AT&T U-verse.

The digital service fee is a monthly fee that Bell TV charges for its digital television service. The fee covers the cost of providing the set-top box, programming guide, and other features of the digital service. The fee is currently $5.99 per month for all subscribers with programming on platforms pre-November 2004 and $3 per month for all subscribers on platforms post-November 2004.
