• AT&T has announced its new Internet Backup feature, rolling out next week to fiber customers.
• The feature uses AT&T’s wireless network to keep eligible fiber users online during outages
• Customers won’t need any extra hardware or pay additional fees to use the backup service.

AT&T is set to launch a new feature that aims to eliminate internet downtime for its Fiber customers. This feature, called Internet Backup, will allow AT&T Fiber customers with an eligible AT&T unlimited postpaid wireless plan to stay connected to the Internet even during fiber network disruptions.

Starting next week, AT&T will roll out this feature to customers using its AT&T BGW320 gateways. If there’s ever a disruption in your fiber connection, Internet Backup seamlessly switches to AT&T’s wireless network. Once your fiber is back up, your home Internet should automatically switch back to fiber — no need to fiddle with settings or call customer service.
