AT&T crossed a major milestone — now serving 10 million fiber internet customers, nearly 40% more than Verizon, solidifying its position as the largest fiber internet provider in the United States.
- 10 million AT&T Fiber customers nationwide, nearly doubling in under 5 years.
- Fastest and top-rated internet in the U.S., according to Ookla’s latest Speedtest® Connectivity Report.
- 99.9% reliability, backed by the AT&T Guarantee for both wireless and fiber customers.
- Plans to expand fiber availability to 60 million locations by 2030.
“This is just the beginning,” said Jenifer Robertson, EVP and GM of AT&T Mass Markets. “AT&T will roughly double where AT&T Fiber is available, bringing even more people the benefits of our best home internet experience.”
AT&T sees fiber as the foundation of modern connectivity, enabling not just high-speed internet but next-gen services like AI applications, smart homes, and future cloud workloads.
AT&T expects to close its acquisition of Lumen’s Mass Markets fiber business in early 2026. The transaction includes about 1 million fiber customers and coverage of 4 million fiber locations across 11 U.S. states. The deal will further expand AT&T’s network investment and accelerate broadband access across underserved areas.
AT&T continues to promote convergence between its fiber and 5G wireless networks, giving customers unified connectivity through one provider. For households not yet reached by fiber, AT&T Internet Air, powered by 5G, offers a fast and flexible alternative.
Analysis
This milestone reinforces AT&T’s multi-year commitment to expanding fiber as the backbone of its long-term growth strategy — not only to meet consumer broadband demand but also to support enterprise, edge, and AI-driven applications. Its aggressive target of 60 million fiber locations by 2030 positions AT&T as a key enabler of next-generation digital infrastructure in the U.S.
