AT&T's game-changing move: Verizon and T-Mobile will have to settle for applauding

AT&T has taken a giant leap in the race to lead high-speed internet in the United States. The company has reached an impressive milestone, as it now surpasses 30 million homes and businesses connected with its fiber optic network.

This not only consolidates its position as the largest fiber internet provider in the country. It also leaves its main rivals, Verizon and T-Mobile, with few options other than to applaud this achievement.

This progress is no coincidence. AT&T has been investing consistently and aggressively to expand its network. In recent years, it has allocated more than $145 billion to improve its infrastructure, both in mobile networks and fiber optics.

These investments include everything from spectrum purchases to technological modernization and strategic agreements to expand its coverage. One of the most notable moves was the acquisition of a large part of Lumen's fiber business. This allowed it to add nearly one million new customers and more than four million connection points in 11 states.

To this are added collaborations with its joint venture Gigapower, public-private partnerships, and open access agreements. All of this has allowed it to grow faster than its competitors.

AT&T puts Verizon and T-Mobile on the ropes

While T-Mobile and Verizon continue their own expansion strategies, the truth is that AT&T has managed to get ahead. Both in coverage and innovation. The company claims that nobody is doing more than they are to respond to the growing demand for fast and stable internet.

While the achievement of 30 million connections is already significant, its plans are even more ambitious. They want to reach 60 million fiber optic connections by 2030.

But AT&T's success is not measured only in numbers. The company has implemented a strategy that combines scale, technology, and an effective commercial approach. Thanks to this, it can grow faster and more profitably than its competitors.

In addition, it is the only provider that offers a comprehensive guarantee for its mobile and fiber services. Targeted at both homes and small businesses.

T-Mobile and Verizon must take note

Another strong point is its new technological proposal for the home. With its All-Fi Pro system, it is offering a smarter Wi-Fi network, capable of updating itself over time, just like a smartphone. This ensures users a powerful, modern, and future-ready experience.

While Verizon and T-Mobile remain present in the battle for internet leadership in the United States, AT&T has set a new standard with this move. Its progress, both in fiber deployment and innovation, sets the bar very high. For now, its competitors can only watch and applaud.
