AT&T Forces Service Upgrades With Hidden Fees and Delivers Unreliable Performance

AT&T customers report being involuntarily migrated to fiber optic plans that perform worse than the service they replaced, require nightly router reboots, and include billing fees that were not disclosed at the time of the upgrade. The combination of forced migration and billing misrepresentation leaves customers with degraded service and higher costs they cannot easily escape due to contract terms.
