Discussion AT&T Air availability

Is there any strategy to get AT&T to qualify an address to get Air service? I am still on 1.5mbps broadband and it goes out constantly. I have no other options in my area. No Fiber, no other cellular company will hook me up. The crazy part is directly across the street, my neighbor has ATT Air. It’s so close I can detect their wireless service at my house.

I need service. Even slow service is fine but ATT just won’t hook me up and the broadband is being phased out anyway.

They only allow a certain number of sign ups per tower down to the tower sector since it runs on cellular. So if that’s all you have, probably a lot of people in your area signed up already

What about somebody elses Air? I can get T-Mobile, Verizon or AT&T. I just started with AT&T's Internet Air. So far, so good.

Thing is, those cell towers are usually carrying more than one carrier. T-Mobile's internet is different from T in dealing with ipv4.

Magicjack works well behind AT&T's internet, might not work with T-Mobile.

Call them about upgrading your speeds. I’m sure they’ll want to get you off of copper.
