AT&T Maps Out GigaPower Progress

Taking a page from the Google Fiber playbook, AT&T has introduced a map that charts the deployment progress of its fiber-based GigaPower platform, highlighting cities that have the 1-Gig service today, have rollouts underway or are being “explored” for potential future launches. “Potential customers, city officials, gig seekers or anyone planning a move can use the new interactive map at att.com/gigapowermap to keep up on our progress as we add new cities,” Joey Schultz, AT&T’s vice president of home solutions, digital experience, explained.

He said GigaPower is now rolled out to parts of 15 markets, with plans to extend access to cities such as Jacksonville (FL), St. Louis (MO) and San Antonio (TX). AT&T, which recently completed its acquisition of DirecTV, plans to extend the reach of GigaPower to 14 million residential and commercial locations.
