Continuing our efforts to close the digital divide and connect people wherever they live and work, AT&T is expanding our superfast fiber network to serve more residential and small business locations in Savannah.

This week, AT&T announced new availability of AT&T Fiber to more than 130 customer locations in parts of the Savannah area. These new locations are in addition to the more than 30,000 customer locations across Savannah that currently have access to AT&T Fiber.

“For Savannah residents and businesses to thrive in today’s world, access to high-speed connectivity is a must. Fiber is a gamechanger in how our residents are able to access virtual learning, connect with healthcare providers, develop new job skills and conduct business,” said City of Savannah Mayor Van R. Johnson II. “This critical infrastructure will help our city meet the demands of today and build for the possibilities of tomorrow.”

“Access to reliable, high-speed internet is essential in how we attract new business and remain competitive in today’s digital world. AT&T’s continued investment in the Savannah area is a testament to their commitment to closing the digital divide and supporting local communities,” said Bert Brantley, President and CEO, Savannah Area Chamber of Commerce. “This connectivity will help drive economic opportunities and keep Savannah area residents and businesses connected.” 

The expanded network will give more customers access to super-fast home internet speeds up to 5-Gigs. You can sign up to be notified when AT&T Fiber is available to your address through att.com/notifyme.

AT&T is committed to connecting more Americans to reliable, high-speed broadband internet in several ways, including expanding and upgrading our network and participating in the federal Affordable Connectivity Program (ACP). The ACP provides eligible households with a benefit of up to $30 a month (up to $75 a month on qualifying Tribal lands) to reduce the cost of broadband service and can be applied to AT&T Fiber, where available. Or use it toward Access from AT&T, offering speeds up to 100Mbps for $0 after the ACP benefit is applied. After confirming ACP eligibility, those who qualify can go to att.com/getacp or call us at 866-986-0963 to sign up for service. Have your ACP application ID handy. 

“At AT&T, we have been connecting Georgia communities for nearly 145 years, and we are committed to helping close the digital divide by expanding our fiber footprint to keep Georgia residents and small businesses connected,” said Gary Sanchez, AT&T Georgia Regional Director of External Affairs. “We are proud to invest in Savannah with the modern, high-speed network infrastructure necessary in today’s economy.”
