AT&T INC. DALLAS, Dec. 12, 2018 /PRNewswire/ -- To continue to improve how our customers connect, AT&T* launched ultra-fast internet in parts of 12 new metro areas.1 Our 100% fiber network powered by AT&T Fiber℠ is now in parts of these new metros:
- Amarillo, Texas
- Beaumont, Texas
- Bowling Green, Ky.

- Gainesville, Fla.
- Hattiesburg, Miss.
- Lake Charles, La.

In 2018, we added over 3 million locations, now reaching more than 10 million locations across 84 metros nationwide where we offer our ultra-fast, low-latency internet service powered by AT&T Fiber. We plan to reach at least 14 million locations by mid-2019.
An ultra-fast internet connection powered by AT&T Fiber lets you quickly access and stream the latest online movies, music and games. You can easily telecommute, video-conference, upload and download photos and videos, and connect faster to the cloud.
We have millions of miles of fiber and this expansion furthers our lead as the largest provider of fiber across the 21 states where we offer home internet service.
We're also the nation's largest provider of fiber for business services, covering more than 2 million business customer locations – with another 6 million locations within 1000 feet of fiber. Fiber makes it possible for businesses to access innovative solutions like highly-secure networking, cloud computing, video conferencing and collaboration tools.
The success of mobile 5G relies on a quality fiber connection to the wireless towers or small cells, which then translate the fiber connection into an ultra-fast wireless signal for customers. By putting fiber at the core of our wired and wireless networks, we've been laying the foundation for our 5G wireless connectivity.
Eligible broadband customers can choose from a range of internet speed plans on our 100% fiber network. Plans are designed to deliver the same speeds up and down. These plans include AT&T Internet 100, AT&T Internet 300 and AT&T Internet 1000.2
