AT&T Internet Overview
AT&T Fiber is AT&T’s fastest internet, offering download speeds close to 1,000 Mbps. Fiber internet is essential if you have a large home with many users or if your work and personal activities require fast speeds. AT&T’s fiber plan offers unlimited data and most users will enjoy a download speed around 940 Mbps. The Fiber 1000 plan starts at $60/mo. with a 12-month contract.
If AT&T Fiber is more than what you need, you can opt for standard DSL internet. AT&T offers five DSL plans with speeds starting at 10 Mbps. Choose from Internet 10, Internet 18, Internet 25, Internet 50 and Internet 100. Prices also start at $35/mo. with a 12-month contract.
Depending on your location, you may only have certain packages available to you, so AT&T can’t always guarantee a higher internet speed. You may also have access to AT&T’s three Basic Internet Plans: Internet Basic 768 (.8 Mbps), Internet Basic 1.5 (1.5 Mbps) and Internet Basic 5 (5 Mbps). The basic plans can accommodate light web surfing.
When you choose an AT&T internet plan, you can opt for self-installation or have an AT&T technician install your service. The company will provide an AT&T Gateway, which is a combination modem and router. For most plans, you’ll have a $5-$10/mo. equipment rental fee. As an AT&T customer, you’ll also have access to nationwide WiFi hotspots if you need to stay connected on the go.
AT&T TV
AT&T TV isn’t cable TV or a traditional streaming service. Instead, it combines both by offering on-demand programs through the AT&T TV app and 5,000 additional apps through the AT&T TV streaming box. AT&T TV partnered with Google Assistant to allow you to surf live TV channels faster than before. Currently, AT&T TV offers six packages starting at $59.99/mo.
If you’re looking for the best deals with AT&T, consider bundling your internet and TV. Through bundling, you can save up to $20/mo. and enjoy unique offerings like unlimited data, a Visa Rewards Card, HBO Max and more.
AT&T Bundles
Those looking to save should consider investing in one of AT&T’s many bundle packages. When you bundle TV (either AT&T TV or DIRECTV) and internet into one bill with AT&T, you get an unlimited data credit, free installation on new TV and internet services and are guaranteed to save at least $10/mo. on existing services.
AT&T Phone
AT&T offers standalone phone plans starting as low as $19.99 for domestic calling in North America and $41.99 for international coverage. By bundling your phone plan with AT&T internet or TV, you can save money each month while also enjoying customer perks like Visa Rewards Cards.
AT&T’s phone bundles start at $77.99 for phone and internet, which includes unlimited nationwide calling. If you’d like to bundle internet, phone and TV you can pay for the triple play package that starts at $114.97.
