U-verse with AT&T GigaPower Launches in Nashville and Surrounding Areas

NASHVILLE, TN — AT&T has launched U-verse with AT&T GigaPower to residential and small business customers in parts of Nashville and surrounding communities. Customers have a new choice for ultra-fast Internet access from AT&T on Nashville’s first residential network to feature speeds of up to 1 gigabit per second. U-verse with AT&T GigaPower is available in parts of Clarksville, Lebanon, Murfreesboro, Nashville, Smyrna and surrounding communities located throughout the metro area.

“Things move fast in Nashville. My favorite Nashville songwriter, Sonny Curtis, wrote one of his most famous songs in just two hours, and we want Nashvillians to harness the power of ultra-fast internet access in everything they do, from creating great music to pioneering healthcare innovations," said Joelle Phillips, president, AT&T Tennessee. “We were able to deploy network enhancements fast – in less than a year since we announced our U-verse with AT&T GigaPower plans for Nashville. Smart, pro-investment policies, championed at the state level by Governor Haslam and legislative leaders like Speaker Harwell and Lt. Governor Ramsey – as well as streamlined local permitting processes that Mayor Dean and our Metro Council members have embraced – were key in speeding our work.”

The AT&T GigaPower network delivers the speed customers need to power all of their devices and connect them to the content that matters most. Ultra-fast Internet speeds up to 1 Gbps improve the customer experience for consumers and small businesses using the network to connect to the cloud, videoconferencing, online gaming or for other services.

Gigabit Speeds Support Pro-business Policies
“The launch of AT&T GigaPower is exactly the type of investment we are driving for when we pursue pro-business policies in the General Assembly,” said Beth Harwell, Speaker of the Tennessee House of Representatives. “So many people talk about Nashville being the ‘It’ city, but given the communities across the Mid-state that are receiving AT&T GigaPower, I think it’s fair to characterize Tennessee as the ‘It’ state, and I look forward to working with the Governor, the Lt. Governor and our local elected officials across Tennessee to continue to strengthen that reputation.”

U-verse with AT&T GigaPower customers are also getting faster Wi-Fi speeds through a residential gateway that takes advantage of the latest in Wi-Fi technology. Through the new gateway customers can enjoy our best in-home Wi-Fi experience with faster Wi-Fi speeds, expanded coverage and support for all of their devices.

The success of the first AT&T GigaPower market in Austin led to a major expansion beginning in 2014. AT&T is considering expanding its all-fiber network to up to 100 cities and municipalities across 25 markets. U-verse with AT&T GigaPower has launched to many consumers and small businesses across parts of 11 markets – Atlanta, Austin, Chicago, Cupertino, Dallas, Fort Worth, Houston, Nashville, Kansas City, Raleigh-Durham and Winston-Salem. AT&T has already announced plans to deliver AT&T GigaPower in parts of six more markets – Charlotte and Greensboro, N.C.; Jacksonville, Fla.; Miami; St. Louis and San Antonio.

Additionally, AT&T has committed that upon approval of its proposed acquisition of DIRECTV, the company will expand the AT&T GigaPower network to an additional 2 million customer locations. All of these 2 million locations are over and above what the company announced in 2014.
