AT&T Fiber
August 11, 2026 Service is fine. However I was promised enrollment in a plan which bundled wireless and internet and would substantially drop my rate. That was Dec 26 and I'm still waiting for them to honor their price -July. Spent many hours on phone trying to receive the discounts I was promised. one month wireless goes up and internet goes down. next month internet jumps up and wireless goes to where it should be. Don't trust them...
