A few years ago (10?), AT&T got into a lot of trouble - they lost in court - for making unilateral changes to an unlimited plan.
1. The AT&T unlimited plan being talked about here includes the HBO Max streaming for $0.
2. Just a few months ago, Xfinity started breaking out their free streaming service on internet bills, and put in a statement that said that in either late 2024 or early 2025 they were going to start charging a monthly fee unless you cancelled that part. If any of y’all have Xfinity and don’t have a habit of reading your bills, you’d better go take a look!
3. I’d be willing to bet that the “new” AT&T unlimited plan has contract language that will let them also do what Xfinity is doing, and the “old” one doesn’t. Maybe AT&T is considering a sale/spinoff and needs to have that charge broken out for accounting/valuation purposes.
- mynameisvlad 3y agoConsidering a sale/spinoff of what? HBO? That already happened last year.
- Kon-Peki 3y agoAh, well there you go. I doubt that they can keep including that service for free forever. Do you?
- mynameisvlad 3y agoThey certainly can but it would impact their profits, which is a no-no. Will they drop the subscription? Almost certainly. Even if the spinoff included free access to AT&T subscribers, it'd likely only be for a few years.
