AT&T DSL
May 18, 2025 AT&T is the only option in our apartment complex. This surely is illegal, but everyone just accepts it. I will say the service is very reliable. We only lost service during power outages. The speed is OK but not awesome. I could buy faster but I believe the price is not worth the boost from 300 Mbps to 500 Mbps. I definitely did not like I had to install the device AT&T mailed me with poor instructions. It didn't work and in the end I called customer service. It turns out there was an error on their end. They did fix it promptly, but not very impressive.
