AT&T Fiber
May 08, 2023 I live in a house with two floors. The house is not huge by any means but I have always struggled to receive a strong Wi-Fi connection throughout the house, especially upstairs. In my frustration I contacted AT&T multiple times regarding the issue of connection speed and signal strength but service technicians never solved the problem. I am currently satisfied with my internet connection but I had to supplement their equipment with Wi-Fi extenders in different rooms of my house.

January 21, 2023 I like our provider. Their customer service is incredibly thorough and I've never had a bad experience. I also really like how nice they are. The pricing is amazing, especially for the speed and the location that I live in.

October 11, 2026 I pay for the medium service and I expect faster speeds but I'm getting a whole lot of latency when I try to watch FB or Youtube videos. And it's consistent. Might be time for a change.
