AT&T to investors: Fiber is the best! AT&T to gov't: Don't give rural people fiber!



By Jon Brodkin



AT&T says fiber Internet is a "superior" technology that is built for today and the future because of its ability to deliver symmetrical upload and download speeds of 1Gbps and higher. AT&T also says that "there is no compelling evidence" to support the deployment of fiber across the US and that rural people should be satisfied with nonfiber Internet access that provides only 10Mbps upload speeds.
