AT&T has been part of the fabric of America’s story for nearly 150 years, helping build the connections that keep us close. And we’re still at it — investing over $145 billion from 2020 to 20241 to bring even more people across the country the opportunities that come with better connectivity.
It’s this connectivity that’s powering economic growth and supporting job creation. The same connectivity that enables access to opportunities like online education, employment, healthcare, banking – the list goes on. And the connectivity that’s at the core of our daily lives is why we are putting customers first to become the best connectivity provider in America.
We’re investing today in building networks for the next century, to power the connectivity Americans need to get ahead and stay ahead in their daily lives. And the connectivity we need to keep America competitive for years to come.
Here’s just a few ways we’re making it happen:
-
AT&T has further cemented its position as the nation’s leading fiber Internet provider by achieving its goal of passing more than 30 million consumer and business locations across the U.S. with its fiber broadband network ahead of plan. We continue to put more fiber in the ground than anyone else and plan to accelerate network expansion efforts to meet increasing customer demand for the best broadband technology available today — fiber.
-
We know people are on the go and the need for connectivity needs to move with them. Our 5G network, using low-band spectrum, reaches more than 315 million people in more than 26,200 cities and towns in the U.S. And we’re continuing to enhance AT&T 5G to help communities stay connected to fast, reliable and secure mobile experiences to help simplify, enhance and change lives.
-
As public safety’s partner, we are bringing better connectivity to public safety when — and where — they need it. Now with more than 2.99M square miles of coverage, FirstNet®, Built with AT&T has the largest network footprint in the country, covering more first responders than competing commercial networks, and we are only continuing to grow.
And we’re investing in more than just the networks that power connectivity; we’re investing in people and communities all across the country. We announced last year an additional $3 billion commitment by 2030 to help close the digital divide, bringing the company’s total commitment to $5 billion since 2021.
Our mission is connectivity. That’s why AT&T is investing in the connectivity that America’s future depends on, and the connectivity our families, students, businesses and neighbors can rely on for generations.
