AT&T Raises Legacy Fiber, Internet Air Bills by $5 Starting Aug. 16

3 articles · Updated · Android Central · Jul 20

Summary

  • $5 monthly increases will hit AT&T customers on legacy Fiber and Internet Air plans from Aug. 16, with notices set to appear on upcoming bills.
  • Promotional discounts will remain, but the higher base rate means many affected subscribers will still pay more each month.
  • AT&T says the added revenue will support network, service-quality and customer-experience investments, repeating the rationale it used for recent wireless price and fee increases.
  • The move adds to a broader run of hikes this year and could steer customers on older plans toward AT&T's newer bundled offerings or rival providers.
