AT&T announced plans to bring its 100% Fiber Network powered by AT&T Fiber℠ to parts of 8 new metro areas. This means we plan to offer the service to customers across at least 75 major metros.

The operator also announced the launch of our 100% fiber network service to parts of Oakland, California. We now market a 1 gigabit connection on the 100% fiber connection to 4.6 million locations across 52 major metros.  The expectation is to add 2 million locations in 2017, and we plan to reach at least 12.5 million locations by mid-2019.

New metro areas where with plans to bring our 100% fiber network include:

• Dayton, Ohio
• Macon, Georgia
• Madison, Wisconsin
• Monterey-Salinas, California
• Savannah, Georgia
• South Bend, Indiana
• Springfield, Missouri

“While other providers have slowed deployment, we’ll continue to expand access to our ultra-fast internet to more customers, so they can more quickly connect to the things they love online,” said Eric Boyer, senior vice president, Wireless and Wired Product Marketing at AT&T.

With service that starts with an ultra-fast gigabit internet connection it’s possible to download 25 songs in 1 second or your favorite 90-minute HD movie in less than 34 seconds.
