ATT hasn't bumped me up at all from $55. I figured after 3 years it would have happened but I guess I just got lucky. During the install they did send two sales people to my home for some reason. I figured they identified me as someone who could afford other services but I am not sure. I did tell them if they raise my price a crazy amount I might as well get Starlink and have the benefit of packing my crap up for a hurricane

They raises my price about a year ago without notifying me. I called, they apologized, gave me 6 more months on the original price promo, and a $100 VISA gift card. Wasn’t expecting that

ATT 1GB @ $90 per month for just internet. Been very satisfied.

Dropped Cox a couple of years ago.

Using YouTube TV and my wife has a bunch of add-on's (Netflix, Paramount Plus, Apple TV, etc.) but still pay much less than Cox with their TV package.

me too but we’ve been here 20 yrs and this is the most reliable source we’ve had. I did see ATT trucks up the road the other day so maybe they will bring it down to us

I pay 80 from Charter/Spectrum for 500GB but I'd really like to switch to AT&T 1gig fiber. My issue is that we started using Charter 25-30 years ago and went with their email server and now both my wife and I have charter.com emails. If we drop we lose our emails and they are associated with EVERYTHING. I don't know if the hassle is worth it just to save $20-30 a month.

Think I pay right at $60 for ATT fiber 300up/300down plan and regularly get 360/360

Use my own routers that are solid as hell and have a bunch of my TVs, docking stations, etc. hardwired with Ethernet.

ETA: never have any internet speed issues with this plan.

Comcast/Xfinity cable is about $88 a month. Some complain about outages, but we’ve been very lucky in that regard, and we use the hell out of it for work and streaming TV, music, etc.

ATT just put fiber in the area, and they’re offering a very nice introductory rate, but who knows how long that will last. I assume it is reliable, but not sure.

It’s nice to have competition to choose from, but I’m sticking w Xfinity for now.

My country relative has Starlink, and it has been super and so much better than any of the other crap service they tried out in the sticks.

ATT Fiber 1 gig here. I like ATT because they use XGS-PON which means each node is on 10 gigs, so your neighbors are less likely to slow you down. Many of the municipal fiber companies are still on GPON which is 1 gig shared.

Still I would take any fiber over the cable companies. Fiber is just more reliable because it doesn't need amplifiers or any powered equipment at all between the central office and you. This means there's nothing to "fail" unless someone digs and cuts a cable (or if overhead if a tree falls, etc.)

Xfinity 1 gigabit plan, about $110/month here. Only other option is AT&T which is a bit cheaper but very unreliable, not that Xfinity is that great here either. Wish we had Verizon FiOs as an option.
