Amarillo, TX and AT&T address connectivity gaps across the city with broadband access project
Amarillo, TX AT&T Broadband Access Connectivity Gaps
City officials and AT&T identified areas with limited access to reliable high-speed Internet. The initiative adds AT&T Fiber connectivity with speeds up to 5,000 Mbps to 22,000 addresses. Households earning at or below 200% of the Federal Poverty Guidelines qualify for free access to the network. Amarillo will work with partners like Texas Tech University on digital training courses for participating households. This project was funded by federal ARPA money along with matching funds from AT&T.
