Continuing our efforts to close the digital divide and connect people wherever they live and work, AT&T* is expanding our award-winning fiber network to serve more residential and small business locations across Georgia.

AT&T Fiber is now available to nearly 1.5 million locations across Georgia, including in parts of more than 42 counties and 95 cities. 

“AT&T’s continued investment in Georgia underscores its commitment to closing the digital divide and enhancing broadband access for communities and businesses across the state,” said Pat Wilson, Commissioner of the Georgia Department of Economic Development. “Access to reliable internet opens more career opportunities for Georgians and offers greater flexibility when it comes to work or travel, and private partners like AT&T are providing the solutions needed to connect communities to the possibilities of tomorrow.”
