AT&T hard sell

[gghigo]

Had an AT&T salesman going door-to-door in my neighborhood today. Among other dubious or outright false claims, he said Sonic uses 100% AT&T fiber infrastructure, but AT&T can provide faster service. Why is that? He said AT&T uses end-to-end fiber vs. Sonic using coax cable for the last mile.

IMO door to door salesmen misrepresenting their product or the competition is not news. It's a story as old as sales.

We’ve heard of a few different types of false claims by their door to door sales. Please do refute - and, if you’ve got doorbell video, we’d love to be able to use that to try to force them to stop misleading people.

An AT&T door to door salesman today offered me their Gigabyte Fiber service for $37 per month (in part because we use AT&T for wireless service). I checked on the AT&T website and it looks legitimate.
So... I'm paying $85 per month for Sonic, why wouldn't I go with AT&T offer?

There's a good chance that's a promotional rate for a limited time. There may be other caveats, too, such as a requirement to stay subscribed even if rates change or pay an Early Termination Fee. Ask questions!
