July 25, 2026 It goes out often. The router typically has to be reset multiple times and there are no other options available.

AT&T Fiber
March 05, 2026 It took us a while to get AT&T fiber where we live because we live in a more rural area. It does go out on occasion, but it is usually back up in one to two hours. So far, we have been happy with the service. We do have additional Internet hotspots in our house to make sure that it runs smoothly.

November 13, 2026 Rudest supervisor is Christy. We were told we had to use our previous equipment at our new address in the same zip code but only a soft start was needed because the previous owners of that residence, but Customer service and Christy said no. Said we must talk with Tech support. They said no. So, we'd have to schedule a date and wait hours for someone to show. Meanwhile I work from home and need the Internet to work. Christy then says IT can do it tomorrow at 8AM, but I have a 9 AM meeting I must make. She won't give us IT's number to arrange a better time, so we say we will have to look at other options. She then calls back wanting to cancel our current service now. Can you believe how rude and petty this woman is. We can't have another appointment for a soft start or new equipment installed at the new residence, so I can at least continue working in the meantime. If you treat all your customers this way. You deserve no customers.
