AT&T Expands 1GB Fiber Service
- Arstechnica, Tuesday, November 10, 2015 1:52 PM
AT&T is expanding its Gigabit fiber service to parts of 23 cities, Ars Technica reports. The telecom will charge $70 a month for Gigabit service in markets where it competes with Google Fiber, but only if customers also agree to allow their Web-surfing activity to be tracked for ad purposes. AT&T is charging $110 a month in markets where it doesn't compete with Google Fiber, including the Chicago, Houston, Miami, and Orlando metro areas.
As I've said, pay $5 a month, use a VPN, then your traffic is encrypted, AT&T can't serve ads, and you can get the lower rate.
