It’s easier than ever to watch live TV on any device you own. There are multiple services that charge a flat monthly rate for access to dozens of stations and a variety of perks, such as recording and video-on-demand. AT&T is one of the many companies that offer live TV, but one service apparently is …
The Federal Communications Commission is preparing to recommend that a fine of at least $200 million be levied against four major US wireless carriers — AT&T, Verizon, Sprint, and T-Mobile — in the wake of a serious consumer privacy violation that came to light back in 2018. It involved the disclosure of some real-time location …
If you happen to notice problems with your cell phone and connectivity today, you’re not alone. Reports have been streaming in of major outages at all four of the big US wireless carriers, including Verizon, T-Mobile, Sprint, and AT&T (as well as some smaller carriers), with Down Detector showing reports especially on the East Coast. …
To really put into perspective the size of the TV subscriber losses that AT&T suffered during the final three months of 2019, it’s helpful to imagine it this way.

Heads up, AT&T customers. We’re just a few weeks away from the start of a new year, which will bring changes to many of your DirecTV and U-verse TV packages, and that, unfortunately, will mean higher bills. In spite of the fact that, as noted by Ars Technica this week, AT&T also implemented a price …
Colorado’s Attorney General Phil Weiser has told both DirecTV and Comcast in letters sent to the companies that his office is investigating a practice that sounds so obviously sketchy that you’d think it would be a no-brainer to not do this. Both companies — with one important distinction between them — have been charging customers …
From now on, AT&T is going to be prohibited from making any official representations about its mobile data speeds and amounts “without disclosing any material restrictions on the speed or amount of data.” That’s according to a settlement with the Federal Trade Commission announced on Tuesday, which also includes AT&T paying $60 million to resolve …
