| AT&T is clueless An AT&T Senior VP told me and a few others that they do not see a threat from Cable. When on of us asked why he said that Cable can't do a quad play. That's their mind set. They honestly think that as long as Cable can't offer wireless they are no threat. |

Mullica Hill, NJ | This is why companies like AT&T sit on and squat spectrum though. if Comcast where able to buy spectrum they would not need deals with Verizon, they could build out their own cellular network. And in areas they service with Cable just use their own fiber backbone as the back feed for the tower.

I guess Muni-Fiber is no threat, then.... but why do they oppose it every time it's suggested? |

At one point I had all four services from AT&T. I didn't bother to integrate my wireless bill, there was no advantage in doing so. Now all I have left is my AT&T wireless account.
AT&T's dumbest move was to add 150gb caps to these un-upgraded markets. If I was a heavy user I might put up with slower speeds if I could use it unlimited.

Wow indeed!
Who cares about quad-play? Nowadays, it's cheaper to get all the services unbundled anyways. Noone uses quad play, it's stupid and there are not even any incentives at all whatsoever.
I've been with U-verse for 1.5 years, never received anything about AT&T Wireless that wasn't already available to regular non-U-verse customers in the first place. |

Sometimes bundling makes sense. I pay $55 for 10/1 and unlimited phone. |

Looks like they finally fixed wireless on Seco Canyon for you. |

Comcast could buy Sprint. Comcast has decent management, a lot of cash, and a track record of updating technology.
