AT&T doubles down on high-speed internet in Silicon Valley as Google Fiber arrives

Recently, AT&T and Google Fiber have gone tit-for-tat on expansion plans for high-speed broadband, as the internet giant ramps up its very big plans for its service.

AT&T said its service is currently available to "tens of thousands" of homes and businesses in the Bay Area, and it plans to triple that very vague number by the year's end.
