The AT&T GigaPower network offers:
-- The ability to watch more than 100 live channels in and out of home,
watch video on-demand TV shows and schedule DVR recordings, on more than
30 smartphones and tablets.

metroplex. With gigabit speeds, you can download a TV show in less than

The AT&T GigaPower network launched in Austin, Texas, in December 2013, and high demand exceeded expectations. As a result AT&T announced a major initiative in April to expand its ultra-fast AT&T GigaPower fiber network to up to 100 cities and municipalities across 25 markets nationwide. Today's announcement means U-verse with AT&T GigaPower is now available to tens of thousands of customers across the Austin, Dallas and Fort Worth markets. So far, AT&T has committed to deliver the AT&T GigaPower network to Charlotte, Greensboro, Houston, Miami, Nashville, Overland Park, Kan., Raleigh-Durham, San Antonio and Winston-Salem.
Additionally, AT&T committed that upon approval of its proposed acquisition of DIRECTV, the company will expand the AT&T GigaPower network to an additional 2 million customer locations. All of these 2 million locations are over and above what the company announced in April.
