AT&T Fiber
April 04, 2023 We have used AT&T for a long time. We used to have cable broadband until they switched us to a fiber plan. Like with any service, it can be iffy sometimes, but overall, we have been pleased with it. We have the 1 gig plan, and I would say the speed to price ratio is fairly decent. They do try to raise prices on us sometimes, but their customer retention department typically will work with us since we have been a customer for so long. Overall, I'd give out fiber internet an 8/10
