Staff Report From Georgia CEO

Wednesday, February 13th, 2019

To continue to improve how our customers connect, AT&T is investing to expand and enhance its 100% fiber network powered by AT&T Fiber and deliver our fastest internet speeds to more customers. Ultra-fast internet speeds are now available to more than 1 million locations across the state of Georgia, including in parts of more than 31 counties and 73 cities.

"AT&T – with over 17,000 Georgia employees, over $5 billion worth of Georgia investments during the last three years, and, now, over 1,000,000 direct fiber connections in the state – is well-established across Georgia's communities," said Lieutenant Governor Geoff Duncan. "As we focus on a goal of becoming the Technology Capital of the East Coast, we know that broadband access and reliability is critically important. Thank you, AT&T, for helping connect Georgia's families to the promise of the 21st century digital economy."

"I appreciate AT&T's continuing commitment to building state-of-the-art infrastructure and enhancing broadband access in Georgia," said Speaker of the House David Ralston (R-Blue Ridge). "AT&T's investments make it possible for businesses to grow and ensure that residents in communities across our state – both urban and rural – have the tools they need to stay connected. This is yet another reason Georgia remains the #1 state in the nation for business."
