AT&T launched ultra-fast internet service in parts of the Metro Augusta area. We now connect eligible homes, apartments and small business locations in the area to a 1 gigabit internet connection on our 100% fiber network under the AT&T Fiber umbrella brand.
 
The Metro Augusta area, including parts of Columbia County, North Augusta and Aiken County, is one of 67 metros where we’re making our fastest internet service available. We now market our ultra-fast service to over 3 million locations, of which over 500,000 include apartments and condo units.
 
We’re on track to exceed the 12.5 million locations planned by mid-2019.
 
“Our customers are increasingly interacting with their world in more data-intensive ways,” said AT&T Regional Director of External Affairs Stan Shepherd. “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 bringing our fastest internet speeds to Metro Augusta and its surrounding communities.”
 
“The 100% fiber network from AT&T will contribute to our growing economy and high quality of life in the Metro Augusta area,” said Georgia State Representative Barbara Sims. “Access to high-speed internet will help create new jobs, grow small businesses and improve access to educational opportunities.”
 
“I am very pleased AT&T selected Augusta/Aiken as a site for its 100% fiber network,” said South Carolina State Senator Tom Young.  “Access to ultra-high-speed internet will play a key role in our region’s economic future by helping attract new jobs, encourage innovation and entrepreneurship, and opening new opportunities in many fields. This is why I, and many of my colleagues, have long been committed to assuring that South Carolina’s laws and policies create an environment that encourages the investment of private capital in advanced technologies.”
