AT&T to Deliver U-verse with AT&T GigaPower in Jacksonville

JACKSONVILLE, FL — AT&T confirmed it will expand its ultra-fast AT&T GigaPower network to the city of Jacksonville. The all-fiber network will bring symmetrical upload and download broadband speeds up to 1 gigabit per second, and AT&T’s most advanced TV services to consumers and small businesses.

AT&T is deploying additional fiber and electronics to the existing network in Jacksonville to meet the growing demand for ultra-fast broadband. The network enhancements will enable customers to have access to AT&T’s fastest Internet speeds available to consumers.

Local residents and small businesses on the AT&T GigaPower network will also experience cutting-edge TV services with the ability to watch and record five simultaneous HD streams, and its largest capacity DVR with one terabyte of storage.

Strengthening Jacksonville as a Communications Hub
“Jacksonville welcomes the opportunity to work with AT&T to bring ultra-fast Internet service to our residents and small businesses,” said Mayor Alvin Brown. “We all know that speed is king in the online world. Having access to these very high speeds will help us strengthen Jacksonville’s competitive position as a digital crossroads and communications hub. We want Jacksonville to be on the leading edge of technology and innovation.”

On April 21, 2014, AT&T announced a major initiative to expand its ultra-fast fiber-based AT&T GigaPower network to up to 100 candidate cities and municipalities across the nation. To date, U-verse with AT&T GigaPower has launched to tens of thousands of households across the Austin, Dallas and Fort Worth markets. The AT&T GigaPower network will also be delivered to Charlotte, Greensboro, Houston, Miami, Nashville, Overland Park, Kan., Raleigh-Durham, San Antonio, and Winston-Salem.
