AT&T Internet raises prices $3 per month

News of AT&T’s wireless price hike stole recent headlines, but the operator also quietly unveiled a price increase for certain fixed broadband subscribers. In a notice posted to its customer support website, AT&T said monthly rates for AT&T Internet customers are going up $3 per month. The document is dated May 2, 2022. The jump is half the $6 price increase AT&T just implemented for customers on some of its older wireless plans. An AT&T representative said its nearly 6.3 million fiber customers won’t be impacted by the change. “Like others in the industry, we adjust prices and fees to address costs and the demands of the business,” the representative stated. Recon Analytics founder Roger Entner said AT&T Internet (formerly known as U-verse) is one of four broadband products the operator offers, the others being fiber, fixed wireless access and legacy DSL. He described it as essentially a “fiber to the curb” service. According to its website, speeds for AT&T Internet plans range from 25 Mbps to 100 Mbps. As of the end of Q1 2022, AT&T had nearly 7.6 million non-fiber internet customers, though it did not provide a breakdown of how many were AT&T Internet versus DSL or fixed wireless. The bump follows a $2 per month price increase for DSL customers announced in January.
