What specific government regulation or action are you asserting here that caused this action?

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.
