AT&T Fixed Wireless

2 of 5 stars September 11, 2025

The internet provider I use is adequate but overall the service in the area is slow and wavering. As there are few to no options for other internet providers, the best option I have is to use AT&T which I already use for my phones. However, given the pricing, it is apparent the connectivity and rate at which my internet runs is unfair. I am expected to pay every month for internet service, yet my internet goes out during the day or runs so slow, that I can’t do anything.

I chose Focus Broadband as my new service provider because they came by to offer a really good price. I previously had AT&T fiber for about three years. I had no issues with AT&T, but I was paying $55 per month for 300 MPS. Focus Broadband offered me a price of $35 for 500 MPS. How could I refuse? They are a fairly local company. I was interested in getting the same company at my other house in Raleigh, NC, but they are not serving that area yet. So far, I have been very happy with the service and have no issues. There is only one glitch to report however. When the servicemen come to install the fiber, they accidently cut my water line! It became an emergency right away but they were able to fix it within an hour. Mistakes happen. They remedied the issue and all is well! A manager came by to visit me the next day to make sure everything was OK and that the repair was appropriate. I appreciated that they took the time to do a proper follow-up since cutting a water line is a pretty major gaff!

I'm currently dissatisfied with my internet. They are the only providers in the area so we are forced to use them, even if they lessen the quality while driving up prices. There are constantly outages everywhere within a 50 mile radius and their customer service skills are less than savory. They charge hidden fees, falsely advertise great service, and still find ways to not only short their customers but their own bottom-rank employees as well.
