AT&T has kicked it into high gear on its GigaPower rollout plans. It announced that it has plans to roll out GigaPower availability to 38 additional metro areas in America. That brings the total rollout to 56 metro areas having access to 1Gbps internet. The service has now launched in 1 million locations.
AT&T’s GigaPower has expanded rapidly since it was launched in Austin, Texas back in 2013. AT&T expects to reach more than 14 million residential and commercial locations by the end of 2016.
“Customer demand for AT&T GigaPower and sales have exceeded expectations since launching speeds up to 1 gigabit per second in Austin,” said Brad Bentley, executive vice president and chief marketing officer, AT&T Entertainment Group. “The faster speeds offered through AT&T GigaPower keep consumers and small businesses connected as they are accessing more content on more devices. This improves a customer’s experience when they are connecting to the cloud, hosting a videoconference, streaming videos and music, playing online games and more.”
