Price keeps going up, for the same service. Terrible internet service: 6 outages in the past month (Sept-Oct 2026) Very unreliable. If you have a problem: Customer Service is an AI bot.

AT&T is a great provider. The speed is great. I always get great connections. My only compliant is the price. I joined AT&T on a promotion. Once the promotion ended, the price went way up.

I had an issue with my internet provide earlier in the year. I contacted them about the issue and they were very helpful. The representative was very patient and help to provide a solution. They ended up having to send someone out to resolve the issue and it was done in a timely manner. It only took a few hours for everything to be done.
