Fiber broadband (sometimes called Fiber internet) is an internet service delivered over fiber optic cable. This is different from traditional cable internet, which transmits information by sending data over copper wires. Fiber has the potential to transmit data at faster speeds than DSL or cable-based internet.
In particular, AT&T Fiber now delivers the fastest internet service of any major provider¹, with speeds of up to 5 GIGs.
These days, we rely on the internet for so many important tasks. We use our internet connection to check the news, stream entertainment, telecommute for work, stay in touch with loved ones, play video games, and much more. It’s understandable to expect fast, reliable internet. To provide this level of service, AT&T Fiber offers five plans: Internet 300, Internet 500, Internet 1000, 2 GIG Internet, and 5 GIG Internet.
Put your devices into a Wi-Fi® fast lane with our intelligent Smart Home Manager app¹. The app lets you set parental controls, track data usage by device, and manage screen time², all in one place.

AT&T Fiber installation may require a technician to come to your home, even if you already have other AT&T services. Fiber services require different types of cable and equipment, and the technician will upgrade the internet lines to your home to be sure you have our most up-to-date fiber optic technology.
Though it varies, AT&T Fiber typically takes from four to six hours to be fully installed. Installation can include replacing existing copper wiring with new fiber lines that will provide you with our best internet experience.
When your AT&T Fiber internet service is installed, you may need a new Wi-Fi gateway. Also, if you choose, we can help set you up with Extended Wi-Fi Coverage service.
