An AJC article this morning about an announcement from AT&T that they will be offering “super fast internet” to Atlanta specifically mentions Decatur…

AT&T said Tuesday that it will bring super fast Internet connections to Atlanta, Sandy Springs, Decatur and Newnan, giving metro Atlanta the first broad commitment for to offer residents and small businesses speeds 100 times faster than the average for American homes.

According to the AJC, AT&T provided no additional details regarding “when?” or “how much?”

As many know, Google started this race early this year when it announced that Atlanta cities – including Decatur – would be evaluated for Google Fiber, the company’s ultra-fast internet service.  Google still hasn’t announced any decisions, though the AJC post reports that they had previously said that they would make a decision by year’s end.

We’ll check with the city to see if they have any updates about Fiber, given this development.

We’re just a few days out from the 2014 Decatur Beer Festival, so if you have tickets, you may want to  view the brewery list for this year’s event along with a map of booth locations HERE.

The expanding presence of Georgia-based breweries and many newcomers should make for an interesting array of choices this year.
