DETROIT, June 30, 2016 /PRNewswire/
-- AT&T1 is adding faster Internet speeds for
more businesses over AT&T Business Fiber. Business customers
throughout Michigan can now enjoy
download and upload speeds up to 1 gigabit per second
(Gbps).2 AT&T Business Fiber is a blazing-fast
Internet service available in AT&T Fiber Ready buildings.
With Internet speeds up to 1Gbps a business can:
- Download 8,000 word processing documents in 1 second
- Download a 2 hour high definition video in 36 seconds
- Backup/restore 1 terabyte hard drive in 2.5 hours
Let's just say, it's FAST!
"Our business customers have told us they need fast and reliable
network solutions to stay connected and competitive," said
Jim Murray, president of AT&T
Michigan. "The new speeds available with AT&T Business Fiber
provide just that. And customers can complement their high-speed
Internet with our network security options to help protect their
business-critical information."
Internet speeds up to 1Gbps are available through AT&T
Business Fiber in the Detroit-Warren-Dearborn, Traverse
City, Kalamazoo-Portage,
Grand Rapids-Wyoming, Ann
Arbor, Niles-Benton Harbor, Battle Creek, Big
Rapids, Lansing-East
Lansing, Saginaw,
Flint, Jackson, Marquette, Escanaba and Monroe market areas as well as many other
markets across the country. We plan to launch Internet speeds up to
1Gbps in more markets in the near future. For more information,
check out the AT&T Business Fiber website.
We're also launching nationwide U-verse Business Voice over
AT&T Business Fiber.3 The voice over IP phone
service delivers great sound quality and high reliability. Through
Voice over IP we're delivering voice services over the Internet
rather than over a traditional phone line. Customers get many
standard calling features, plus enhanced functionality not found on
traditional landline phones. These enhancements will help boost
productivity. A self-service website helps businesses conveniently
manage calling features, call preferences, voicemail and more.
AT&T is investing in high-speed Internet in urban and rural
areas using the latest wired and wireless technologies and has
aggressively expanded its fiber footprint over the past few years,
both to consumers and businesses. We have expanded coverage
to reach over 1 million incremental business customer locations in
the US. We have expanded coverage to reach over 1 million
incremental business customer locations in the US with over 40,000
of those in Michigan. We currently
have around 1,000 multi-tenant office buildings that are live with
AT&T Business Fiber in Michigan. We continue to build out as demand
requires. New buildings are constructed, and old buildings
are retrofitted every day throughout the country, at a massive
scale. In fact, according to the US Census Bureau, the
seasonally adjusted annual value of private, nonresidential
construction in the US in 2015 was $394.4
billion. Our goal is to work with building owners and
property managers to strive to satisfy the demand for fiber
services of the tenants of that construction.
AT&T invested nearly $1.65
billion in its Michigan
area wireless and wireline networks from 2013 through 2015.
