A McKinney, TX Customer

AT&T Fiber

3 of 5 stars December 20, 2025

ATT is a provider that I have been with for over 20 years for cellular services and internet. I have been thrilled with my cellphone service but recently my internet slowed down to the point where I had to hook up my own modem to increase the internet speed to be sufficient for at home work. For the price we pay for internet I would expect the internet speeds to be good for at home work. We pay for the ATT fiber internet

The speed and quality of the service is fine, but their infrastructure in our area is terrible. They keep going down, especially during heat waves, and it takes 1-3 days for them to restore service. It's highly annoying. But they're also the only game in town -- there's no other provider who reaches our neighborhood except DSL, which is much, much slower.

AT&T Fiber

3 of 5 stars June 11, 2023

The main reason I like my internet service provider is the cost. I get 300mb/s up and down with AT&T Fiber. I pay roughly $44 a month after taxes for it which I can't complain. However, because of where I live I don't have a choice in providers. They have a exclusive deal with our rental owners.

My internet provider (Spectrum) is by no means the best service, but it works most the time. I've had issues several times in the past with them increasing my bill without notice and repetitive service interruptions. When I've contacted them in person and on the phone about various issues I've run into walls because the representatives don't care very much. If I could find a provider with better service, I would switch; however, Spectrum is currently the "cheapest" and most available option in my town.
