CHARLESTON, SC – AT&T launched ultra-fast internet service in parts of the Charleston area, including in parts of Charleston, Mt. Pleasant, Summerville and surrounding communities. We’re offering a 1 gigabit connection to area homes, apartments and small business locations on our 100% fiber network powered by AT&T FiberSM.
We plan to expand access to our ultra-fast internet speeds in parts of Goose Creek and North Charleston in the future.
The Charleston area is one of 44 metros nationwide where our ultra-fast internet service is currently available. We plan to reach at least 67 metros with our fastest internet service.
We market our ultra-fast service to over 3 million locations nationwide, of which over 500,000 include apartments and condo units. We’re on track to meet the 12.5 million locations planned by mid-2019.
“Our customers are increasingly interacting with their world in more data-intensive ways,” said John Mitchell, Regional Director of External Affairs for AT&T South Carolina. “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 Charleston area communities.”
“We are excited that AT&T is bringing high-speed internet to our local business community,” said Charleston Mayor John Tecklenburg. “Ultra-fast internet speeds will provide our local businesses with the modern technology needed to succeed in our 21st century economy.”
