Multi-gig speeds and excellent value expected
in the Mesa area
DALLAS, Aug. 30,
2022 /PRNewswire/ --
What's the news?
AT&T* plans to expand its award-winning fiber internet
service to bring reliable, high-speed broadband to the Mesa, Ariz., area. Service is expected to be
available to local residents in 2023.
AT&T is the nation's largest fiber internet
provider1 and is leading the nation's largest fiber
build. With this expansion, Mesa
area residents can connect to new opportunities with fast, reliable
and secure internet service. And where AT&T offers fiber, we
win in wireless. This means more Mesa residents could soon enjoy America's Most
Reliable Wireless Network.2
"Fiber is hands-down the best technology to deliver high-speed
broadband, and this expansion is allowing AT&T to aggressively
roll out service to the Mesa
area," said John Stankey, Chief
Executive Officer, AT&T. "Our long-term goal is to provide
fiber to as many customers as we can, and this is just one of many
steps we're taking to achieve that goal."
Why is this important?
Mesa is one of the largest and
fastest growing cities in America, so AT&T sees a great
opportunity to deliver better access to education, jobs, healthcare
and more through the power of fiber connectivity. AT&T expects
to offer speeds of up to 5-Gigs of fiber-based broadband to more
than 100,000 homes in and around the Mesa area. AT&T's previously provided
capital investment guidance is unchanged.
"In an increasingly virtual world, access to high-speed internet
is a key to success for individuals, families and business owners,"
said John Giles, Mayor of
Mesa. "We welcome AT&T to
Mesa as their team delivers fiber
connectivity, ultimately creating better access to education, jobs
and healthcare for our great city."
AT&T also has a long and productive business relationship
with Corning Incorporated, its largest fiber manufacturing
supplier. Corning's recent investment in a new optical cable
manufacturing facility in the Mesa
area will help produce the fiber-optic cable needed to help
millions of Americans connect to new opportunities and further
close the digital divide.
