AT&T has announced that the company's 75 Mbps U-Verse tier has expanded to another nine markets. According to the AT&T blog post, AT&T's creatively-named High Speed Internet 75 tier should arrive in Chicago, IL; Cincinnati, OH; Columbus/Tupelo/West Point/Hattiesburg, MS; Gainesville, FL; Little Rock Monroe, LA; El Dorado, AK; Panama City, FL; Tulsa, OK and Wilmington, NC throughout the summer.
According to AT&T, its faster 75 Mbps option is now available in parts of more than 100 cities across 70 markets.
Of course as we've noted previously, AT&T's faster fiber to the node tiers (45 Mbps and up) may not actually be available even if AT&T's covering your neighborhood. Copper loop length, copper quality, and the availability of an extra pair all impact whether or not users can actually get these faster speeds.
"We’re delivering download speeds that are twice as fast," AT&T said in a statement. "We upgraded our network with a new 17 MHz signal, which is twice the 8.5 MHz signal previously available."
