Customer service: No ISP is known for great customer service, sorry to say.Plus its equipment rental and self-installation fees are reasonable. Contracts, equipment, and fees: We’re happy to say that AT&T Internet comes with no contracts.
(Unless you pay for extra data, that is.) Data caps: All AT&T Fiber plans come with unlimited data, but if you’ve got AT&T DSL, you’re stuck with a small-ish 1 TB data cap.
But AT&T DSL speeds are too slow and too iffy for our liking.
Download speed: With speeds of 300 to 5000 Mbps, AT&T Fiber speeds are perfect for a family who works, studies, and has fun online. But its DSL plans quickly lose value if you can’t get max speeds of 75 or 100 Mbps. Prices and plans: AT&T’s prices either match other ISPs serving similar areas or are cheaper. Here’s a quick recap of why you might or might not like it. View AT&T Internet Plans | View AT&T Fiber PlansĪT&T’s internet offers up some competitive pricing and zippy fiber speeds, but its DSL internet plans leave something to be desired. But you’ll pay almost $15 more per month for gig speeds with WOW! compared to the price of AT&T’s gig plan. Compared to WOW!: WOW! and AT&T charge a similar price for their 100 Mbps plans.
Otherwise, these two ISPs are neck-and-neck when it comes to price for the speed you get.
Compared to Xfinity: AT&T’s DSL plans might be a better deal than Xfinity’s 25 Mbps plan-depending on what speed you can get with AT&T. The saving grace? Spectrum comes with no equipment fee. And AT&T’s gig-speed plan is much cheaper than Spectrum’s. Compared to Spectrum: There’s no comparison of AT&T’s low-speed DSL plans here since Spectrum plans start out at up to 200 Mbps*, but at that speed you’ll pay more per month for Spectrum than if you got the AT&T Internet 100 plan. Compared to Cox: AT&T Internet and Cox prices start out even, but Cox’s Gigablast 940 Mbps plan is more expensive than the AT&T Fiber Internet 1,000 plan. But AT&T’s DSL internet plans are risky since you don’t always know what speed you’ll get.
We think the biggest value is in its fiber internet plans. Overall, AT&T’s internet prices are right in line with what you’ll see from other ISPs-or cheaper.
