AT&T is now offering a 1 gigabit connection on our 100% fiber network powered by AT&T Fiber to additional customer locations in the Augusta area, including in parts of Grovetown, other parts of Columbia County and surrounding areas.
 
The Augusta area is one of 57 metros nationwide where our ultra-fast internet service is currently available. We plan to reach at least 75 metros with our fastest internet service.
 
Today, we market a 1 gigabit connection on our 100% fiber network to over 5.5 million locations across 57 metros. We plan to reach at least 12.5 million locations by mid-2019.
 
“Our customers are increasingly interacting with their world in more data-intensive ways,” said Stan Shepherd, AT&T Director of External Affairs. “A growing number of people are streaming content directly from their devices, and interacting with family and friends through live videos. For these reasons, we’re continuing to expand the availability of our fastest internet speeds to more Augusta area communities.”
 
“The 100% fiber network from AT&T will contribute to our growing economy and high quality of life in Grovetown and the greater Augusta area,” said State Representative Barry Fleming.  “Access to high-speed internet will help create new jobs, grow small businesses and improve access to educational opportunities.”
 
“Increased access to high-speed internet is an important ingredient for our developing local cyber community,” said Columbia County Commissioner Bill Morris. “AT&T’s investment in their ultra-fast AT&T Fiber in Grovetown and other parts of Columbia County is a positive step.”
 
AT&T Internet 1000, is our fastest internet speed tier on our 100% fiber network. It is offered at $70 per month for customers who bundle with another AT&T service on a single bill, or only $80 per month standalone.
