AT&T U-verse with GigaPower service might be coming to Nashville. Music City is among 21 metropolitan areas the company is looking in to.
Already available in Austin and coming to Dallas this summer, AT&T U-verse with GigaPower services include Internet speeds reaching up to 1 Gigabit per second. At this speed, AT&T reports users can download an HD online movie in less than 36 seconds, download 25 songs in one second, and download a TV show in less than 3 seconds. It also means access to TV services that include the most advanced AT&T Total Home DVR with more HD TV streams to record and watch multiple shows simultaneously, plus greater DVR storage capacity.
AT&T says it will work with local leaders in these 21 markets to discuss ways to bring the service to their communities. Communities that have suitable network facilities, and show the strongest investment cases based on anticipated demand and the most receptive policies will influence these future selections.
On Feb. 19, 2014, Google announced it was also investigating the expansion of its Google Fiber network to Nashville. With an Internet connection 100 times faster than traditional broadband service, Google is exploring options in nine U.S. metropolitan cities, including Nashville, Raleigh-Durham, Charlotte, Atlanta, San Antonio, Phoenix, Salt Lake City, Portland and the San Jose and South Bay areas. Google Fiber is currently offered in Provo, Utah, and Kansas City. Construction has begun in Austin.
