Cox vs ATT fiber comparison w/out ATT sales pressure?

Is there any consumer-oriented website that lets you compare costs/services of Cox (now use for internet and TV) versus ATT (cell phones 3 lines).

Recently ATT installed fiber in my neighborhood, so I want to do a careful comparison before switching from Cox. Yesterday two ATT sales reps showed up at the door pushing hard for a sale on the spot. They could or would not provide me with any fact sheet nor a link for solid info.

I've explored the ATT website and can't find cost/service info without providing some of my contact info. That only invites more sales harassment.

All you have to do is put in your address. That will then give you a page with all of ATT's speed and detailed pricing options. If you're that concerned about it, just plug in your neighbor's address. That's what I just did to confirm that you don't need any info other than the address (I'm already with ATT fiber, so if I plug in my address, it will try to take me to my account).

Your mileage may vary based on location, if you have any discounts, etc, but this is the current pricing for my street:

i was with comcrap for nearly 30 years and the last 2 houses i've lived in offered ATT fiber and i would do it again in a heartbeat and twice on sunday.

the best part (creepy?) was when i had it installed at my current house and he came out with brand new equipment; plugged it in and when I accessed my account online...EVERYTHING CAME BACK ONLINE..lightbulbs, smart devices, hue hub, sonos, phones, laptops..all my info was stored in the ATT cloud i guess and so i didn't have to do shite..it brought my whole WiFi network and SSID naming convention over.

i was planning on at least a week to get everything set up on the new WiFi network..didn't even spend 10 minutes.

just order the At&t 300Mbps service and be done with it.

Yep. I’ve got the 500 and don’t even know why. Think I started with the gig speed and dropped it down after the first bit. Have had zero speed problems ever. Just pulled 170 down and up over WiFi sitting on my couch to my phone.

Is everyone just doing fiber + YouTube tv? My house is wired with fiber (previous owner) but I had cox installed. YouTube tv seems good but I do like the ability to scroll a guide/channels when I’m watching tv aimlessly.

Fiber with YTTV off and on depending on the season. Currently off. When college football starts up, I’ll start it back up. Kill it at some point around the Super Bowl. Maybe kick it back on depending on how LSU baseball is doing. Pick it up during Olympic years. Etc.

My favorite benefit of using YTTV instead of Cox is being able to start and cancel with zero notice and zero aggravation. No one has to come to my house; I don’t have to return any equipment. I don’t love how expensive it’s gotten, but when you can easily kill it for a third+ of the year, you can factor in quite the discount.

If I didn't have 25 years of my cox.net email address and use it for every login everywhere, I would change today.

Cox has already stopped offering new email accounts to new customers. They are getting out of the email business. You might want to go ahead and prepare for what comes after your Cox email address as there is a very good chance in the near future they shutdown all existing Cox email accounts.
