AT&T added 1 million new business customer locations to fiber network, including 11,000 in Kentucky


AT&T announced that it has added 1 million additional business customer locations to its fiber network since 2012 when the company began its aggressive fiber expansion program. The expansion helped extend the AT&T U.S. fiber network another 76,000 route miles, bringing the total to nearly 500,000. AT&T offers business customers high-speed Internet products on its fiber network in every major metro in the company’s 21-state footprint.

The AT&T fiber network provides the bandwidth needed to support data intensive services such as video, collaboration, cloud services and more through products such as Ethernet, Virtual Private Networking, Managed Internet Service, AT&T GigaPowerSM and AT&T Business Fiber. Customers can complement their high-speed Internet with network security options and online backup to help protect and virtualize their business-critical information.

“Our business customers continuously tell us that they need reliable network solutions to help them operate faster and with more agility. Our fiber network gives them the capabilities they need to support mission-critical business functions both now and in the future.” said Steve McGaw, Chief Marketing Officer, AT&T Business Solutions.

In Kentucky, AT&T has added more than 11,000 new business customer locations, said an AT&T spokesman in Kentucky.

Along with the deployment of fiber-optic infrastructure to all 173 schools districts in the Commonwealth, AT&T’s 4G LTE deployments and enhancements that are connected to its fiber-optic network, the GigaPower announcement in Louisville at the end of last year, and continuing deployment of other services like AT&T Business Fiber which is specifically designed to connect multi-tenant office buildings to the fiber-optic network and offers tenants speeds up to one gigabit, AT&T has deployed the communications services that Kentuckians demand, said the spokesman.

“AT&T’s business fiber service has made moving big files up and down our distribution channels faster than ever before. We had been waiting years for speeds this fast,” said Matt Nies, President/Owner at Pixelbox Visual Design, a video production studio in the Midwest.

  1. Not at all happy with service in Trimble County, Ky. Twice in 2 weeks there have been service outages lasting for days. No explanation given and no customer recourse. Very disappointed with AT+T.
