AT&T Fiber will be launching ultra-fast internet to homes, apartments and small businesses in at least 10 major metro areas in October, including Augusta GA, Louisville KY and Memphis TN.

October is shaping up to be the month of goblins, ghouls and gigabits.

Throughout the month of October, AT&T¹ is announcing the launch of our ultra-fast internet service to homes, apartments and small businesses in at least 10 major metro areas. ² Eligible locations in the area will be connected to a 1 gigabit internet connection³ on our 100% fiber network under the AT&T Fiber^SM umbrella brand.

Today our ultra-fast internet service is available in parts of 32 major metro areas, with plans to reach at least 45 metros by the end of this year and 67 overall. We now market our ultra-fast service to over 3 million locations, of which over 500,000 include apartment and condo units. We’re on track to exceed the 12.5 million locations planned by mid-2019.

Metro areas where we’ve announced the launch of ultra-fast internet speeds in October include:

• Columbus, Ohio

What can I do with a service that starts with a 1 gig connection?

With internet speeds 20x faster than the average cable customer⁴ , you can download 25 songs in 1 second or your favorite 90-minute HD movie in less than 34 seconds.⁵
