On Tuesday, AT&T tatted again: The telecom said it's bringing its GigaPower offering to more parts of San Francisco and several surrounding cities, including Mountain View, Google's home. In February, Google Fiber said it was in talks to come to San Francisco, tapping some of the city's inert fiber networks.
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.

We have a request
In moments like this — as people grapple to understand variants and vaccines, and kids head back to school — many outlets take their paywalls down. Vox’s content is always free, in part because of financial support from our readers. We’ve been covering the Covid-19 pandemic for more than a year and a half. From the beginning, our goal was to bring clarity to chaos. To empower people with the information they needed to stay safe. And we’re not stopping.
To our delight, you, our readers, helped us hit our goal of adding 2,500 financial contributions in September in just 9 days. So we’re setting a new goal: to add 4,500 contributions by the end of the month. Reader support helps keep our coverage free, and is a critical part of sustaining our resource-intensive work. Will you help us reach our goal by making a contribution to Vox with as little as $3?
