I am very excited to see the news about GigaPower from AT&T coming to certain cities in and around Dallas. I am most hopeful about a particular line in the FAQ that asks: “What if I’m a city leader and I want to discuss the opportunity of AT&T U-verse with GigaPower in my city?” And then, there is a link for RIchardson’s city leaders to use to notify AT&T that we would like faster internet (speeds up to 1 gigabit per second!)
Austin is enjoying this fiber internet. Other cities that are slated for the new fiber internet service are in Tarrant County. Allen, Fairview, Irving, and McKinney are also planned for the fiber internet service, eventually.
I have tried both Time Warner Cable’s Internet service and U-verse. I pay around $75 per month for just internet. I would happily pay that for the GigaPower plan. There is no indication of what the pricing will be on the FAQ from AT&T.
I hope everyone urges the Richardson city leaders to email AT&T about getting GigaPower in Richardson.
