AT&T Brings Gigapower to Parts of Nashville AT&T continues its scattered deployment of gigabit "Gigapower" service, this week announcing that the speed offering will be made available to parts of Nashville. According to the AT&T announcement, Gigapower is now available in Clarksville, Lebanon, Murfreesboro, Nashville, Smyrna and surrounding communities located throughout the Nasvhille metro area.

As with other Gigapower deployment announcements, AT&T isn't specifying precisely how many people will be able to sign up for the service, which is predominately aimed at high-end housing developments. "Things move fast in Nashville. My favorite Nashville songwriter, Sonny Curtis, wrote one of his most famous songs in just two hours, and we want Nashvillians to harness the power of ultra-fast internet access in everything they do, from creating great music to pioneering healthcare innovations," AT&T President Joelle Phillips said in a statement. According to AT&T, standalone symmetrical gigabit service starts at $120 a month. In areas where AT&T faces competition from the likes of Google Fiber (like Austin), that same service can be priced as According to AT&T, standalone symmetrical gigabit service starts at $120 a month. In areas where AT&T faces competition from the likes of Google Fiber (like Austin), that same service can be priced as low as $70 a month

Miami, FL Rob Premium Member Don't see the need or use of it.. Besides the fact that AT&T has pretty much left my area high in dry after merging with BellSouth and refusing to upgrade the IFITL system (with a maximum speed of 1.5/256kbps), I don't see the need or use of it for me. Plus, as bad as Comcast is in the eyes of the American people, they brought me faster speeds, so I don't think I'd switch away from Comcast anytime soon. ISurfTooMuch

Tuscaloosa, AL ISurfTooMuch Member Google Fiber And, wonder of wonders, Google Fiber is being deployed in Nashville. I'm sure that's just a coincidence.



And here I thought these corporate execs really meant it when they asserted that people didn't want really fast Internet. My belief system is so shaken right now! I don't know who to trust anymore! Next thing you know, we'll find out that big corporate mergers really don't lead to better service and lower prices.

Osage Beach, MO itzalex Member We've expanded. All 200 homes in these areas will be getting it while claiming the following: "We've expanded to include all of these cities." All a convenient lie to make their claims to the FCC and FTC look like they are using their funds appropriately for their purchase of directv look like they're playing nice.

Mount Juliet, TN davidc502 Member I have a feeling Does anyone know if it includes Mt Juliet or la vergne?



I ask for one reason... that would mean competition with TDS, who offers Gigabit. We all know they try not to compete with one another.

It's not a matter of "try not to compete" so much as outdated laws and tariffs PREVENT any competition in the traditional wireline business. The only good side to de-regulating the phone companies is they would no longer be protected from new competition, but it takes some DEEP pockets to completely wire a town for new telecom services, be it copper, coax, or fiber.



P.S. While Guitar Town refers to Nashville, I'm actually a neighbor of yours here in Mt. Juliet - I also knew the family that operated the original "Mt. Juliet Telephone Company" prior to TDS - good people, and some fun stories... I don't think AT&T is going to "overbuild" in TDS territory - rather uncommon to have more than 1 copper wireline provider in any given municipality (and AT&T and TDS are both wireline phone companies; TDS just happens to have fiber in PARTS of Mt. Juliet).It's not a matter of "try not to compete" so much as outdated laws and tariffs PREVENT any competition in the traditional wireline business.

Kentucky 2 edits thatguyzp Member Not where I live :/ Doesn't appear to be available where I live in Smyrna, unless the website availability checker hasn't been updated yet, doubt it though as we can't even get U-Verse TV at my address. (and the max internet for u-verse is a measly 18mbps)



Here's hoping Google Fiber actually makes it way outside the city of Nashville and comes down to Smyrna and surrounding areas. (or ATT actually decide to build out more fiber, however unlikely that is)
