AT&T yesterday announced another 11 metro areas where it plans to install gigabit fiber Internet. So far, AT&T Fiber is available in 29 metro areas in the US, and another 38 (including those announced this week) are slated to get the service eventually.

The newly announced metro areas are Gainesville and Panama City, Florida; Columbus, Georgia; Central Kentucky; Lafayette, Louisiana; Biloxi-Gulfport, Mississippi and Northeast Mississippi; Wilmington, North Carolina; Knoxville, Tennessee and Southeastern Tennessee; and Corpus Christi, Texas.

AT&T did not say when these areas will actually get service. The company said it will have deployed in 45 metro areas by the end of 2016, including the 29 already being served. The 11 newly announced areas are presumably among those that won’t get service until at least 2017.
