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 across the Williamson community.

This week, AT&T announced new availability of AT&T Fiber to more than 130 customer locations in parts of the Williamson area. These new locations are in addition to the more than 300 customer locations across the Williamson community that currently have access to AT&T Fiber.

“For the City of Williamson to remain competitive, having access to reliable high-speed internet is a must for our residents and businesses,” said Williamson Mayor Steve Fry. “This connectivity will help close the digital divide, drive economic opportunities and improve the quality of life for Williamson residents.”

“I am thrilled to see AT&T’s continued investment to bring high-speed internet to Williamson,” said Councilor Tom Brown, Williamson City Council, Post 3. “With AT&T Fiber, our community has the connectivity needed to thrive in today’s world.”

The expanded network will give more customers access to super-fast home internet speeds up to 5-Gigs.[1] 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.
