I dont normally defend ATT, but… "The plans are specifically priced at $15 per month for 25 Megabits per second (Mbps) download speeds and $20 per month for 200 Mbps. These prices must include recurring taxes, equipment rental fees, and other usage fees, with annual price increases capped at 2%." $15/month for 25Mbps, and that price includes all equipment fees and taxes? Thats a little ridiculous given inflation and general cost of living. If it were $25/month - then maybe ATT should make it work, but $15 is too low. -John

FYI. AT&T is discontinuing their ABF service in New York.
What's Happening with Existing ABF Customers in NY AT&T Business Fiber customers in New York will be able to keep their current ABF service until March 1 at no charge, as they find other options for broadband service. Customers must do one of the following before 3/1/25, when their ABF services will be disconnected: • Sign a 12-month contract for existing ABF services at current rates • Switch to AT&T Dedicated Internet (ADI) or AWB with standard pricing • Take no action, and their ABF services will be disconnected on 3/1/25 Existing customers are being contacted via email and direct mail to inform them of the changes and offer the option to either sign a 12-month contract or migrate to AWB or ADI. AT&T’s nationwide wireless service will not change in New York. AIA-B and ABF are still offered in all other qualified locations and states. We value our customers and AT&T will continue to support policies that promote capital investment, innovation and a competitive market.
