I had shitty Xfinity internet the past year and it was terrible. Was supposed to get 250 Mbps download speed but it would dip down to like 10 constantly.

Check out this speed test

Texas. It seems like a new promotion? Check out the ATT website, they had been advertising it for a while.

They would if they could. In order to lay down fiber lines, they have to dig up the streets. Lots of cities and towns wont allow that. Its a huge ordeal to get fiber in an area apparently.

I remember when Google Fiber came to Austin a few years ago it took over a year just to dig fiber lines.

Isnt it $10/mo for equipment fee required, and $49.99 for stand alone internet, making just internet $59.99/mo?

It would seem its only $39.99/mo (+equip fee) when bundled with another AT&T service for 12mo.

Still good pricing but a little misleading unless thats mistaken.

Its 40 for me, I guess because I also have ATT cell service? Yeah, $10 equipment fee, but pretty much every internet company has that too.

Any particular way yours is set up?

It's too bad the telecoms pocketed the government broadband infrastructure grant instead of building out fiber back in the early 2000's.

Dont use their modem/router as a router. Bypass it, disable their WiFi signal, and make sure you you have a router capable of handling gigabit internet speed.

Do you have a separate router?

I have this TP Link

Id highly recommend it! The firmware is super easy to use, even if youre a network noob. Again, make sure you disable the WiFi on the ATT modem
