AT&T is ditching copper and building fiber, but many will get only 5G or satellite.

Ah, so that's why AT&T stopped fiber upgrades in my town in 2022 or last year. Which is disappointing to say the least, and I live on a main road too.

Hopefully this won't lead to Spectrum (my current provider) shuffling their feet on implementing high split service, now that their main competitor is opting for inferior 5G home internet for half their customers. High split would allow for symmetrical upload/download and faster than gigabit speeds.

I bet anything that they're hoping for the feds under the new president/king to force CA to let them walk away from the upgrades.
