AT&T is offering 100Mbps service for $50 and 1000Mbps service for $90 (monthly). Ten times the speed for less than 200% of the 100Mbps service.  But will a casual surfer and Prime Video junkie appreciate the fasterness?

Well, it is being installed chez-moi on Monday. After that, I will venture an opinion.

what data?

Wait. . . you have a limit on data?

Lots of people do. I suspect it is a consequence of brand loyalty. My usage this month on my phone is 12 GB so far. Doesn't bother me. I am unlimited. The "fair use" clause kicks in at 50 GB and nothing happens when I break it.
