AT&T wants to know why a town is building a 1Gbps network when it already offers 6Mbps DSL

 

 

Ars Technica points out that Chanute would charge citizens just $40 per month for its 1Gbps service, which is a mere $5 more than the six-month teaser rate for AT&T’s 6Mbps service. What’s more, AT&T’s plan includes a hard data cap of 150GB per month and going over that limit will set you back by an additional $10 per month.

I'm not proud of what I'd do for 1Gbps Internet access.

i hope the town collectively told at&t to go f*ck themselves.

A giant corporation like AT&T probably can't afford to do infrastructure upgrades like a tiny town in the middle of nowhere can.
