January 01, 2023 I made the switch to AT&T internet last year and I am very satisfied with their speed and service. When I was still considering changing my internet provider, I was able to promptly speak to a representative from AT&T who explained the benefits of choosing AT&T and the process of switching over to their service. Within two days, they sent someone to my home to install the hardware for me (which only took a few minutes) and the internet service began immediately with no problems. Since then, my internet has always been fast and reliable and I have not had a single issue with it.
