AT&T is looking to build new fiber optic networks for “ultra-fast” broadband service in Atlanta and dozens of other cities.

AT&T’s new service, for consumers and businesses, is called AT&T U-Verse with GigaPower, the company announced Monday.

…Beth Shiroishi, president of AT&T Georgia, said [Georgia] is at the top of the list of those where investment in ultra-fast fiber optic networks makes sense.

AT&T, however, will make its decision on which areas to enter based on local regulations. In metro Atlanta, the company is considering adding GigaPower in Alpharetta, Atlanta, Decatur, Duluth, Lawrenceville, Lithonia, McDonough, Marietta, Newnan, Norcross, and Woodstock.
