A family switched to AT&T with a promotional internet price of $15/month but has been charged $47.55/month for four consecutive months.

This points to a structural accountability gap between in-person sales promises and what actually gets provisioned on the account.

Telecom Sales Reps Promise Discounts That Are Never Applied to the Bill

A new business customer was promised a loyalty discount on an AT&T internet plan, verbally reconfirmed by chat support, but the discount never appeared across four billing cycles and a manager later admitted the offer was fabricated to count the sign-up toward a new-account sales metric. The customer cites BBB complaints suggesting this fake-discount pattern is a recurring sales practice rather than an isolated incident.
