pretty dry humor
Seriously though, ATT was a government entity that got its huge advantage from being a monopoly. After they were forced to "split up" (wink wink nudge nudge) they then shed all their unprofitable business and recombined again as new "ATT".
At no point have they ever really become a customer-focused company and all their decisions are steeped in monopolistic style thinking.
- scarface74 7y agoI have had AT&T Gigabit Ethernet for 3 years. It’s $70 a month, no extra fees, no caps, and I consistently get 900+ u/d. Compared to cable companies it’s a dream. Comcast has a maximum upload of 35Mbps on their highest plan, it’s more expensive, less reliable, heavily over-provisioned and the bills are full of junk fees. Even at the new price of $60/month, AT&T Now was still a better deal than Comcast’s cable offerings - again with junk fees, hard to cancel service and cable box rentals. I’m using Hulu Live Tv now though.
- dragontamer 7y ago> Compared to cable companies it’s a dream. AT&T is a cable company (U-verse) that owns WB, DC Universe (Superman, Arrowverse, Wonder Woman) HBO and more.
- scarface74 7y agoI’m thinking of a cable company as one that has a local monopoly that you have to use to get internet. I don’t care about a random content company. As far as Uverse, it’s so irrelevant it’s not worth discussing. AT&T is trying to force people off of it. https://www.cordcuttersnews.com/att-hides-u-verse-tv-on-its-websites-as-it-will-reportedly-stop-offering-the-u-verse-this-year/ https://www.cordcuttersnews.com/att-hides-u-verse-tv-on-its-...
