AT&T to extend GigaPower service to 38 more metro areas
Thus far, Google Fiber has stuck to medium-sized cities across the south and west coast, where it can more readily lay down its fiber pipes.
As a point of comparison, GigaPower is 20 times quicker than AT&T’s fastest offered residential Internet service and roughly four times speedier than what Comcast presently offers. AT&T aims to more than double the availability by the end of 2016. “I look forward to seeing how residents and small businesses will utilize the AT&T GigaPower network to help us continue to grow and to move forward”. Still, he said the city is pleased to be included in the GigaPower rollout.
“Customer demand for AT&T GigaPower and sales have exceeded expectations since launching speeds up to 1 gigabit per second in Austin”, said the executive vice president and chief marketing officer of AT&T Entertainment Group, Brad Bentley. Hence, it should take you less than less half a minute to download an entire album, less than five seconds to download a TV show, and less than 45 seconds to download an HD movie.
In addition to the gigabit service, AT&T is also looking to work with Los Angeles in providing citywide wireless Internet service, recently submitting a proposal to the city for the CitylinkLA project, company officials confirmed today. You get faster Wi-Fi speeds, expanded coverage and support for all your devices. These cities newly added in AT&T’s listing will bring the service to a total of 56 metros.
How Fast Is The AT&T GigaPower? Now, it is better still to see other companies such as AT&T continuing the rollout of high-speed internet to the rest of the country. The analyst firm praised AT&T for its “aggressive pursuit of higher bandwidth access” for customers through its AT&T GigaPower network initiative. In December 2014, the network went live in those cities.
