AT&T markets fiber-optic and hybrid DSL internet connections to residential consumers and businesses across the US. Fiber is available for both home and corporate subscribers. They also sell a variety of “triple play” packages with bundled television and phone add-ons.
AT&T's DSL offering, historically known as U-verse, leverages Fiber-to-the-Node technology. In a FTTN layout, the fiber line terminates at a point near the customer address, with the final stretch to the subscriber residences reached via telephone, ethernet, and coaxial cable. Hybrid fiber allows AT&T to service higher bandwidth plans than usually expected from DSL.
AT&T Fiber to the Home (FTTH) is available in select areas. FTTH is considered the “gold standard” for robust, fast and reliable home internet.
