AT&T ranks #1 on U.S. Business Fiber LEADERBOARD for ninth consecutive year; Fiber Lit sites increase to nearly 1.8 million Commercial Buildings plus Data Centers

2024 U.S. Wavelength Services LEADERBOARD

The U.S. installed base of Wavelength circuits grew almost eight percent in 2024 as enterprises, hyperscalers and service providers added more power and bandwidth to support soaring AI traffic. All major providers offer 100 Gbps waves throughout their footprints and are ramping 400 Gbps installations. We expect to see a measurable increase in 800 Gbps installations this year.

2024 U.S. Ethernet Services LEADERBOARD

AT&T Ranks #1 for Third Year

Spectrum Enterprise and Comcast Business Gain Ethernet Port Share

Challenge Tier expands to eight companies

The overall market for U.S. Ethernet services advanced 2.2% in 2024, led by strong demand for DIA connections. Other segments — including Access, Private Lines and Metro — are in secular decline. We project sustained slow growth through 2029 driven by customer requirements for DIA services.”
