Yeah, this is also my experience.

AT&T won't even build fiber home internet to urban/suburban residents that have existing fiber-to-the-node (original U-Verse) service -- places less than a mile away from functional residential AT&T fiber drop already (DSLAM).

They're still happy to charge me the $100/month for that ~60mbps VDSL copper service though. (even though, if anything happens to that line, they're refusing to repair/replace it)

It's ridiculous.



AT&T actually end-of-life'd good ole fashioned DSL at my Dad's house. They don't offer any wired internet services there any longer.
