AT&T says it now offers gigabit broadband in Biloxi-Gulfport, MS. and Savannah, GA. The new metro markets bring to 57 the number of metro areas where AT&T Fiber's fiber to the premises (FTTP) network is available. The service provider also announced that it has expanded the availability of its high-speed internet services to more than 60 communities across 20 of its existing metro markets.
The existing metro markets where AT&T expanded service access include:
- Atlanta and Augusta, GA
- Birmingham
- Chicago
- Dallas and San Antonio, TX
- Detroit
- Fresno, Los Angeles, Sacramento, and San Francisco, CA
- Indianapolis
- Jacksonville and Miami, FL
- Louisville
- Memphis and Nashville, TN
- Milwaukee
- Oklahoma
- St. Louis
The expansion in the San Antonio area includes parts of Alamo Heights and Castle Hills. This initiative follows a previous announcement from AT&T that it would offer its ultra-fast internet speeds to parts of Converse, Hollywood Park, Terrell Hills, Universal City, and surrounding communities in the San Antonio area. The expansion means that gigabit broadband is now available to more than 230,000 homes, apartments, and small businesses in the area.
AT&T says it now offers high-speed internet services via its AT&T Fiber network to more than 5.5 million locations. More than 1.5 million of these locations are new this year; the company plans to reach another 1.5 million locations by the end of the year, which will bring the number of served locations to at least 7 million (see "AT&T Fiber adds eight metros to gigabit broadband count").
