AT&T extends 1-Gig business fiber services to 180 US cities

AT&T has been enriching its business services offering with a new fiber footprint that can now deliver 1 Gbps services to multi-tenant office buildings in more than 180 cities in the United States. Initially each of the buildings that have been connected to the fiber network will support symmetrical 300 Mbps with the ability to scale to 1 Gbps. These connections have been made possible thanks to the fiber-to-the-building (FTTB) portion of AT&T's Project VIP program. And with Ethernet, VPN and cloud growing 14.8 percent year-over-year in the first quarter to $2.6 billion in its business services segment, it's not surprising to see AT&T aggressively building out its fiber network into more buildings in its 22-state territory.
