T-Mobile Home Internet Fixed Wireless
June 25, 2023 I switched a couple months ago from AT&T to T-Mobile and I'm very happy. T-mobile is cheaper and has been more reliable. AT&T was always slow and frequently didn't work.
A San Diego, CA Customer
AT&T Fiber
April 23, 2023 The internet speed from AT&T has been great, however, the coverage has been shaky. I sometimes need to use Zoom for meetings at home, but I have to be within 30 feet from the modem/router without any obstruction of walls to ensure I don't experience any instability in the connection. I've experienced several dropped connections when I was within the 30-foot range but had several walls between myself and the modem/router, which has been incredibly frustrating. What's even more frustrating is that I don't have much of a choice in options other than to choose this internet provider due to the location/region of my residence (which is in a suburban neighborhood next to a large city), so I'm not able to seek out other competitors for a better experience.
