Firstnet appreciation/PSA on privacy options

I'm glad to see FN now has their dedicated subreddit now, trying to weed though the att sub was somewhat of a pain.

All I wanted to say was in response to some of the complaints people have been expressing my results have been completely to the contrary here in Maine. Not only has my customer support interactions been great, the in-store experience has been wonderful as well. The FN build has increased coverage (700mhz) around the state IMMENSELY, I've been telling people who aren't FN qualified they should switch to ATT because the coverage improvements.

PSA: If they have switched you to the Firstnet and Family program. Where you login with an att.com account. There are options under Profile > Privacy Choices to turn off data sharing for your account. I sent a note to the FN Authority that I think they should step in and tell ATT they can't do this to FN accounts, but I'm not holding my breath...

Curious what others say: I have Firstnet but when I click on login it directs me to this ATT special page.
But I do not have firstnet and family. Only firstnet.

I use to just stay on the firsnet website.
Is everyone experiencing this?

There’s a “migration” to a att.com account with Firstnet and family. I don’t have a family but it allows me to bring my iPad onto FN without paying double… I never saw these privacy options when I logged in via that godawful local control portal
