Key Takeaways:
- AT&T celebrates a decade of connecting customers to affordable internet through Access from AT&T.
- Access from AT&T now includes AT&T Internet Air, broadening the program’s reach and giving those who qualify a new, low-cost way to get online using the fast and reliable 5G network.
- Eligible customers receive a $25 monthly discount on Internet Air.
What’s the News: AT&T is marking 10 years of Access from AT&T by introducing another option for eligible customers to get online. Starting today, they can apply a $25 discount to AT&T Internet Air, our plug-and-play 5G home internet that is backed by the AT&T Guarantee1.
Why it Matters: Connectivity has become a key to nearly every door of opportunity, but tens of millions of Americans still don’t have access to high-speed internet, can't afford it, or have the know-how to use it. This is the digital divide.
Since 2021, AT&T has committed $5 billion to help 25 million people get and stay connected by 2030. Additionally, low-cost options like Access from AT&T help eligible households make internet more affordable – bringing the digital tools to learn, work, and thrive within reach.
AT&T Internet Air will help the Access program reach millions of additional low-income households in areas where the service is available. These customers won’t just get connected, but they will benefit from recent network enhancements following our mid-band spectrum expansion and could see download speeds up to 55% faster for AT&T Internet Air. This means more capacity for streaming, gaming, AI-powered applications, and more - all backed by our reliable network.
“Ten years in, Access keeps evolving because closing the digital divide takes continued progress and practical solutions that reach more communities,” said Josh Goodell, VP of Broadband and Converged Products, AT&T. “This expansion using Internet Air matters because in many communities, wired home internet is not yet available, and this gives families a new way to get online using the fast and reliable AT&T 5G network.”
More Details: Access from AT&T is our home internet program designed for limited-income households, offering eligibility through 18 federal need-based assistance programs. By adding AT&T Internet Air as an option, even more limited-income households can get connected and easily set up their internet in 15 minutes with no drilling or technician required.
This expansion builds on AT&T’s efforts to connect more people to greater possibility. We already deliver advanced internet over fiber or 5G to more than 90 million customer locations and counting.
