There is no more certain sign AT&T will soon light up the fibre in our neighbourhood than Comcast’s fancy mailing offering “X-class” symmetrical high speed internet with unlimited data at a special lower price (for the first year.)

The previous years of slow, expensive, meagre upload speeds with ridiculous data caps (unlimited data just $20/month extra) was fine before AT&T showed up apparently.

I’m glad to see just this tiny, tiny gesture of market forces at work. The duopoly still guarantees internet access is remarkably expensive compared to any other country on earth.

@nuthatch

ATT is selling snake oil in my neighborhood.

There is no current fibre even running close, and as they found out, laying fibre cable in solid rock is a problem.

They are selling something, but I suspect it is just 5G.

The neighbors are buying snake oil.
