It's not even competitively priced.Slow speed and low caps....and far too much cost for the speed. It's a joke and just meant I think to make people think they are trying to provide service, but it looks more like they are just trying to find new ways to pad their wallet. |

So much for fixed wirelessProviders have tried selling consumers that the solution to these rural markets is fixed wireless. They don't have to invest much if anything into the markets in term of infrastructure and get to charge up to $200/mo for a whopping 10Mbs. That sounds just like what people were demanding. Who needs fiber optic when you can have this "great" service? I bet people will be lining up to drop their DSL service for this deal.
I especially like that $10 for each additional 50GB option. Everybody loves metered service.
The pricing wouldn't have seemed so bad 5-10 yrs ago when speeds were much lower and Comcast still had 250GB caps. |

I see a lot of complaining...This service is a godsend for people who have no other options. It's far more affordable per gig than using a normal wireless plan, and 10mbps is quite usable for most things online.
I'm not sure why there's so much complaining; this is the first reasonably priced cellular fixed-wireless offering I've seen. Verizon has one too but it's far more expensive. It would be even better if AT&T would let you bundle this with a cellular plan, but they're probably counting on the improved RF efficiency of a fixed directional antenna to offset the cost of the additional data. |

Stingy behavior now more to come after T.W mergerI simply do not understand AT&T mobility's business reasoning behind this service. They offer unlimited postpaid hotspots,whpi,connected car plans but choose to offer these low data cap plans to rural america.
AT&T mobility has changed gophone to AT&T prepaid but has not made any robust changes to it's plans. AT&T stock prices has been slipping despite the pending merger. Something seems wrong. Everything smells of stingy conservative behavior It will be interesting to see their Q2 earning report. |

Randall will jettison when his company finally implodesI almost pity poor Randall and those that think that this "5G" will good enough once cord cutting internet streaming TV becomes the norm. But then again, the guy sure is a good snake oil salesman.
AT&T's Direct TV Now choked many times. Just imagine that trying to work on wireless. I can imagine how much anger the customers are going to be once they see their fixed wireless bill LOL. |

Makes senseThis is really a service for those with DirectTV in rural locations. You don't need a high cap because you already subscribe to satellite with a DVR, streaming is not something you need to do. |
