AT&T To Bring ‘GigaPower’ To Jacksonville

Add Jacksonville (FL) to the list of markets where AT&T has committed to deploy its fiber-based 1 Gbps-capable “GigaPower” network.

As has been the case with most of AT&T’s GigaPower market announcements, specific locations of availability and pricing of GigaPower for Jacksonville will be announced at a later date.

The introduction of GigaPower will represent speedier competition for Comcast, Jacksonville’s incumbent cable operator. There, Comcast is already equipped to fight fiber with fiber, as Jacksonville is one of a group of select markets that offer Extreme 505, a fiber-based residential broadband service that delivers up to 505 Mbps downstream and 100 Mbps in the upstream.
