... we got that because my wife needed it for work. This was before Pacific Bell or Comcast even offered high speed internet to residential customers in our area. Mostly Pac Bell wanted to sell us a hideously expensive ISDN service and they didn't tell us we had other options. We discovered those on our own.
Our original high speed internet service morphed into a fairly conventional DSL service when AT&T started offering DSL to it's own customers. For many years it was solidly reliable.
In recent years the DSL service got flaky and it's become pretty clear that AT&T isn't interested in maintaining its wired infrastructure here and wants everyone to switch to wireless. They send me all sorts of offers in the mail for "free" iPhones, discounted wireless internet service, etc.
So do the other cell phone carriers.
Can you get unlimited 5G internet in your area from your present cell phone carrier?
One of my kids is satisfied with that. When they were working at home during the COVID epidemic they pretty much required home fiber but now that they are back to their office and living in a different place they are saving some money using the unlimited 5G service available from their cell phone provider. It's pretty good from what I've seen.
My wife and I switched to a direct "fixed wireless" connection from our local provider but that's only possible because we're line-of-site to one of their towers. That service has been solid.
I won't do business with Comcast or Elon Musk.
