AT&T Expands Nation's Largest Fiber Network, Now Reaching More Than 30 Million Fiber Locations
AT&T achieves key network expansion milestone ahead of schedule, solidifying U.S. fiber leadership by reaching even more Americans with world-class fiber internet. Key Takeaways: Fiber milestone underscores AT&T's connectivity leadership as America's largest and fastest-growing fiber broadband network and its commitment to delivering fast, reliable Internet connectivity backed by the AT&T Guarantee 1 Previously announced agreement to acquire substantially all of Lumen's Mass Markets fiber business supports goal of reaching approximately 60 million fiber locations by end of 2030 2 DALLAS, June 10, 2025 /CNW/ -- AT&T (NYSE:T) (the Company) has further cemented its position as the nation's leading fiber Internet provider by achieving its goal of passing more than 30 million consumer and business locations across the U.S. with its fiber broadband network ahead of plan. "We're proud to now pass more than 30 million fiber locations — halfway to our goal of reaching approximately 60 million homes and businesses across America," said John Stankey, chief executive officer of AT&T. "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. 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." As America's leading fiber provider, AT&T is focused on expanding where it can offer fiber in a variety of ways. This includes growing its organic in-region fiber network, its Gigapower joint venture, commercial open-access agreements, public-private partnerships and recently announced plans to acquire substantially all of Lumen's Mass Markets fiber business, which today includes about 1 million fiber customers and more than 4 million fiber locations across 11 states. Investment in America's Digital Future AT&T continues to put more fiber in the ground than anyone else and plans to accelerate network expansion efforts to meet increasing customer demand for the best broadband technology available today – fiber. As America's fastest internet with the most reliable speeds 3, AT&T Fiber is a critical enabler of economic opportunity, education, healthcare, and innovation. From 2020-2024, AT&T deployed thousands of miles of fiber optic infrastructure to connect communities and businesses nationwide and invested more than $145 billion primarily in its wireless and wireline networks, including capital investments and acquisitions of wireless spectrum. 4 AT&T continues to differentiate its fiber capabilities given its unique combination of network architecture expertise, size and scale, cost-effective growth path and an agile go-to-market approach. By reaching an industry-leading 30 million+ fiber locations passed, the Company is confident in its plans to reach approximately 60 million total fiber locations by the end of 2030. 2 The Company's fiber investments are also driving significant growth. Since the start of 2020, AT&T has passed millions of new fiber locations and added 5.7 million AT&T Fiber customers.

Montreal streetwear store wrestles with Canada's counter-tariffs
By When Graeme Anthony received a shipment from a clothing brand to his Montreal streetwear shop two weeks ago, it came with an unexpected charge: an additional $1,500 bill. The charge was caused by an error on the brand's customs paperwork, resulting in the items being tariffed as if they were 100 per cent made in the United States, even though they weren't. Anthony is contesting the charge, but says the costly mistake is only a small example of the 'chaos' tariffs and counter-tariffs continue to inflict on small businesses like his. 'You can imagine this is multiplied thousands of times across the country,' Anthony, who's worked in the Montreal retail space for 20 years, said from the Lopez store he co-owns on St-Hubert St. Three months after U.S. President Donald Trump imposed tariffs against Canada — and the Canadian government responded with counter-tariffs — the measures continue to impact local businesses with cross-border ties. Canada's 25 per cent counter-tariffs on U.S. goods include items like orange juice, cosmetics, motorcycles and, notably for Anthony, apparel and clothing. For stores like Lopez, he said, the measure is taking a toll. Owners increasingly face the challenge of trying to find the right balance between how much of the tariffs they can absorb and what they can pass on to customers, without driving people away. 'I think bigger stores have more options to mitigate the costs,' Anthony said. 'As small retailers, we have fewer options. It's either we absorb it, or the customer absorbs it.' Lopez opened its doors seven years ago and specializes in skate and streetwear. The store imports many smaller, independent brands from the U.S. that use American-made clothing. Anthony said he noticed the effects of the tariffs almost immediately when shipments began to be delayed, likely because of the additional paperwork required at the border. Since the store sells products with specific release dates, known as drop dates, even minor delays can be frustrating setbacks. He also worries what it will mean for the fall, when most brands launch new collections. 'Our consumer sees it on the runway or sees the brand post about it on social media, and expects it at a certain date,' Anthony said. 'When those dates are missed, customers go elsewhere.' He's had many conversations with regular customers since then and has done his best to explain why he's now selling certain items at higher prices to offset the tariffs he pays. But he understands that from the customers' perspective, what it comes down to is a T-shirt that cost a certain price only a few months ago is now priced $20 or $30 higher. The difference can be enough for someone to reconsider buying a certain pair of pants or jacket, say, or even leaving the shop empty-handed if they feel they can find a better deal online. 'That's the effect on a small store like us,' Anthony said. When the Canadian government first announced its counter-tariffs in March, it explained most products subject to tariffs were selected because they have domestically made alternatives. Contacted for this story, a spokesperson for Canada's Department of Finance said it understands the challenges Canadian businesses are facing 'as a result of U.S. tariffs and Canadian countermeasures.' 'Overall, Canada's tariff response has been crafted to help and protect Canadian businesses impacted by U.S. tariffs,' the spokesperson added. But Anthony questioned whether decision-makers understand the domino effect the measures are having. 'It's a small amount of money for the federal government, but a large amount for a small business,' he said. To counter the tariffs, Lopez is actively seeking to import new brands from independent suppliers in Asia and Europe instead of those from the United States. It's also redoubling its efforts to feature local Montreal products. Still, Anthony fears the long-term effect a prolonged trade war will have on stores like his and the fashion industry as a whole. 'You want consumers to come in, fall in love with something, be really comfortable and walk out the store (with it),' he said. 'You don't want tariffs to be top of mind.'
