AT&T plans to introduce faster gigabit internet services. This is certainly a great news for businesses using the company’s local phone services in Georgia and particularly in Newnan. This will be a great medium for businesses to upload and download at speeds almost up to one Gbps. This is almost 20 times faster than any cable based internet connection. All of the locations signaled ready for such fast internet services have been declared AT&T fiber ready designations.
With Internet Speed Increased up to One Gbps, Businesses Using AT&T Telephone Service Will Be Able to:
- Download almost up to 8000 word processing documents in about one second.
- Download an HD video of two hours in about 36 seconds.
- Fully backup/restore a one terabyte hard drive within the time frame of 2.5 hours.
As for new service and designation given to locations, they will serve as an effective medium for business or property owners to determine whether or not their property/location is equipped for installing AT&T’s services.
A Move to Stay Alive in the Modern Competitive Market:
For a number of years, the company has focused on providing gigabit connections to business customers. But through AT&T business fiber, the company is speeding up the deployment process of these high-speed internet connections to its business customers. The company is offering such fast and reliable connectivity solutions as an essential strategic move to stay competitive in the marketplace, says Mr. Bill Leahy, the president at AT&T Georgia.
The Viewpoint of Critics about Faster Internet Services:
The viewpoint of critics is very crucial in this regard. The availability of super-fast internet service is already limited to certain areas in each market. These places are perfectly connected with fiber-optic transmission cable. Critics view it as new upscale developments that are not broadly spread across cities or rural areas in Georgia.
These Are Positive Technological Advancements:
This technological advancement is a good thing. Such investments in the field of information technology are critical to the health of Georgia’s economy. As for a reason, all sorts of small and large scale companies are heavily dependent on successful transfer and utilization of information technology. Most importantly, AT&T’s investment in Georgia and its businesses using local phone services in Georgia will undoubtedly be benefitted by it.
As a Result of It:
The cable companies have decided to make investments required for upgrading their equipment needed in order to maximize their internet speed. Moreover, a number of businesses are planning to switch to a new service provider for seeking faster internet services to better satisfy their customers. This is where AT&T can think about providing its faster internet services to all of the business using its local phone services in Georgia for staying viable among the competition in the marketplace. Apart from this, AT&T business fiber is available at select locations in Douglasville, Columbus, LaGrange and many more cities in Georgia.
Now only time will tell about the success of this technological advancement in the market from AT&T.
