T-Mobile Offering Wi-Fi in Communities Where AT&T Dialing Down DSL

T-Mobile said Thursday it's stepping in to provide wireless broadband in communities where AT&T is phasing out DSL. “What AT&T takes away, T-Mobile brings back,” T-Mobile said: “Following news that AT&T is discontinuing DSL home broadband in many communities, T-Mobile is massively expanding its Home Internet pilot service to give another option to an additional 20 million households in parts of 450 cities and towns.” Current DSL customers will keep that service, an AT&T spokesperson responded. “We continue to make substantial investments in wireless capabilities and fiber to reach more customers with faster speeds,” the spokesperson emailed: “That’s why as of Oct. 1, we’re not accepting new orders for DSL service 6 Mbps and slower.”
