AT&T is ditching copper and building fiber, but many will get only 5G or satellite.

Moved to a new location. Options were Cox, who had 1Gbps+ service over coax or something like 30 Mbps with AT&T. For similar pricing. I hate both, but no shit I’m going with Xfinity. Keep asking AT&T if they are ever going to get fiber. Nope, nope, and nope. But they keep sending folks by, trying to sell shitty internet along with satellite tv.
Fast forward a few years. Ezee Fiber comes through, I drop Cox the second they can plug into my house.
Not two weeks later, AT&T comes knocking, “Hey, we’ve got fiber now, want to roll with us?”
Haha, fuck off. (I didn’t say that, dude’s just trying to make a paycheck, but I was thinking it when I politely said no thank you.)
Yeah I hate that shit. „Oh no its not profitable“ … „wait there’s competition?“
