T-Mobile Home Internet Fixed Wireless
April 18, 2026 I live in the country where internet service is usually spotty at best. I have tried many different providers, from DSL to 5g, and each of them had considerable issues with connectivity and speed. I signed up for T-Mobile 5g internet service about 2 years ago and have experienced reliable connectivity and adequate speed to stream many devices at the same time. I am very happy with this service and plan to continue to use it as long as it works the way it has for me since I started. I am glad to have finally found a solution for us people who live in rural areas and have told many neighbors about this service. Plus we only pay $62.00 per month, which is very reasonable.

February 07, 2026 I live in a rural community so internet is very slow. I pay $80 for a speed of 12. It is infuriating and frustrating. ATT says there is nothing they can do as there is no money to be made by investors for a better system.

AT&T Fiber
January 22, 2026 AT&T has been very good to us. Although their prices can be expensive, the internet is always fast and reliable. We have been getting gig speed and hope to continue with the company. Internet is important in my life so having fast internet is enjoyable. If you are willing to pay, I would recommend AT&T Fiber.

AT&T DSL
December 21, 2025 My internet provider charges an exorbitant amount. The service is mediocre with bad speeds and house coverage. There is also a lack of competition so there is a monopoly on it. I wish there were more options for internet service here but there are not. I cannot even get fiber connections.
