AT&T reveals Dallas-area cities that will get its ultra-high-speed broadband service

Ever since AT&T Inc. CEO Randall Stephenson revealed in March that his company would bring its ultra-high-speed broadband service to the Dallas area this summer, potential customers — and there appear to be many — have wanted more specifics.

What neighborhoods will get the service and exactly when?

Four months later, there are still few specifics. But AT&T did indicate Thursday which areas of the Dallas-Fort Worth region will receive its U-verse With GigaPower service later this summer.

The company said the initial launch will include parts of Highland Park and University Park, with upload and download speeds of up to 1 gigabit per second.

The service will also launch in parts of Dallas, Allen, Fairview, Irving, and McKinney at speeds up to 100 megabits per second, the company said. Customers will be able to upgrade to 1 gigabit by the end of 2014.

Parts of Fort Worth, Arlington, Euless, Granbury, North Richland Hills, Weatherford and Willow Park will also get the service this summer. Initial speeds will be up to 100 megabits with 1 gigabit available by the end of the year.

This is way more than I need, and more than I want to pay for. I don't have the need for speed, anymore.

It is still limited to what you are downloading and from where. Don’t over pay for an underutilized service.
