AT&T Fixed Wireless
April 07, 2026 We switched from spectrum to ATT recently because they opened 5G fiber in our neighborhood. The pricing is about the same but the service is much better. My husband works from home and we do a lot of streaming and gaming so good Internet is super important to us. We are satisfied for now.

November 05, 2026 Service during the day has gotten a little better. However, Spectrum does a lot of maintenance late at night and therefore the TV and Internet go out. Not happy with that since I stay up late.
