Ya know, somehow I find it hard to believe anything they say. They are the same company who said their acquisition of Time Warner would lower prices and then immediately raised them. https://arstechnica.com/information-technology/2018/07/att-promised-lower-prices-after-time-warner-merger-its-raising-them-instead/

I find it hard to believe anything they say because they're at&t. If they said the sky was blue I'd go outside to verify it.

Hahahahah Love it! I can just see you, cartoonishly, rubbing your eyes at the sky just like, "am I seein' this shit right?" 🤣
