AT&T is proceeding with the removal of copper from its network while continuing fiber deployment. According to the carrier, only about 1% of customers remain on the older technology, indicating that legacy copper connections now account for a very small share of its customer base as the company moves toward newer infrastructure.
The shift could affect the small remaining group still relying on copper, potentially requiring them to move to newer services as the legacy network is phased out. It may also shape service quality and availability for customers in areas where fiber deployment is underway, though the headline and summary do not specify timing or regional impact.
