Friday, May 15, 2015, Vol. 39, No. 20

NASHVILLE (AP) - AT&T has launched its super-fast Internet service in the Middle Tennessee area.

The gigabit-speed service is available in parts of Clarksville, Lebanon, Murfreesboro, Nashville, Smyrna and surrounding communities. But the company has not released a specific map of where customers can sign up, meaning they must check the AT&T GigaPower website to find out.

AT&T says it is offering the network capable of downloading an HD movie in 36 seconds without equipment, installation or activation fees. The gigabit-speed Internet service is available in combination with AT&T's U-verse television packages starting at $120 per month. Packages offering 100 megabits per second will be available for $30 less.

Comcast says it will offer speeds of two gigabits per second in Nashville starting later this month.
