That's great for you (no sarcasm!)
Where I live - in the city of Los Angeles, hardly distant, rural America - AT&T is happy to provide me "broadband" internet at speeds of up to 10mbps for the low, low price of $45 / month (with a 12-month contract!)
Ironically, I get faster speeds on my AT&T-powered iPhone.
- dekhn 6y agoAre you sure? It looks like many cities in LA have AT&T Gigabit fiber. My guess is they deployed in San Mateo pretty early, and are filling out the major cities now. It's also possible that they don't put the service in cities where the expected subscription rate is too low.
- sib 6y agoYup, positive. I went and checked immediately before posting, to confirm that the situation had not changed since I last checked about 3 months ago. And I'm not in an outlying city in LA county; I'm right in the west side of the City of LA, less than 2 miles from UCLA, very close to Century City.
- dekhn 6y agoBummer! 10Mbps would make it hard for me to do my job while my kids stream videos or take classes or whatever. In our area, there was a way to sign up to show interest, which I think they might have used to estimate subscribers, so maybe sign up for that.
