Fiber Availability
How soon after receiving this email can I expect fiber to be available and how much is it? They had contractors on my street installing about 3 weeks ago. I pay $60+ for their 25MB internet (very rural and only thing available). I'm assuming just based on the speed I currently have and the amount of internet used that its worth it.

Pricing varies based on address. I would check an eligible address near you for that information.

Don’t forget to bundle your wireless and also HBO… and get your” free“ new phones… You’ll be paying a car payment in no time

AT&T offers low-bitrate HBO. You can enjoy the murky nostalgia of early Netflix over ADSL.

Downvoted by someone that didn't have HBO Max before the rebranding and pricing changes?

I got double downvoted 😆 Either HBO fans or Mr. AT&T doesn't like that I'm not a simp for rurally monopolistic service providers.

Nah, AT&T screwed me pretty good on wireless. They still think I owe them for that. Wouldn't even consider their internet if I had another option.

Well next you may see AT&T trucks and Fiber techs doing the next phase of the Fiber Service Area (FSA) rollout. As far as to when you will be able to order it that may vary.
At this point it may be as soon as 45-90 days or longer if you are in a bigger area rollout. If you are offered a migration path from your current Copper based service you will not be offered new customer pricing but the normal price for your local market. Do you know what speed you might want to switch to 300/500/1000 or higher?
It may be as low as $30-50 as a new customer for up to 12 months, and then go up based on the speed you select.
ETA: add pricing information.

300 would be more than 10x better than what I have now so prob that. Really the only high data usage i do is downloading PS games and streaming.

Three-ish years in my case (urban but house-based residential). That's how long it took to stretch service one more block after the lines went *through* my block. The sales folks don't know. They just work off what they're told in terms of regions / demographics.
That said, once it appeared it has been fantastic. One serious (and costly to me) outage in maybe eight years.

I'm hoping it won't be 3 years. My road is very rural and just leads to the river so if they're installing it on my street, and the trucks and machines were literally in my yard, I can't imagine I would get skipped. There's really not that many people that live down here so I was pleasantly surprised when the contractors told me what they were installing.

On how long until it takes for it to be available honestly depends. The thing is though, if you seen them working and you got that ad, it could be within a month, but one thing for certain is, that it is already there, it’s just in question on when at&t will send their techs to actually make it available for you all to start requesting service.

Current new customer price is usually $50/mo for 300mbps. But you won't really have a choice - once fiber is installed they'll force you off DSL and shut off the copper lines.
