AT&T Halfway To 2030 Goal of 60 Million Fiber Locations
Telecom giant just surpassed 30 million locations.
WASHINGTON, July 1, 2025 – Telcom giant AT&T announced that it now passes 30 million fiber locations, making it the largest and fastest-growing fiber broadband network in the U.S.
This announcement marked the halfway point, the anticipated purchase of Lumen’s 1.1 million fiber customers and more than 4 million fiber locations expected to aid the goal. The purchase of Lumen fiber services, announced in late May and expected to close in 2026, motivated AT&T to set a goal toward 60 million fiber passings by the end of 2030.
“This accomplishment is a testament to our team’s hard work over many years to build the nation’s largest and fastest-growing fiber broadband network,” AT&T CEO John Stankey said. “Our investments in fiber are fueling economic growth and creating jobs, while delivering the fast, reliable connectivity Americans expect – backed by the AT&T Guarantee.”
