On dsl? Enjoy your pixelated mess and sub 240p picture on your new giant 4K tv you poor rural and 1.5Mb customers.
@wxb, If you haven't already left the company, maybe it's time to seek new employment? You seem really spiteful and negative.
That's no way to go through life.
It's a clever tactic, and the response thus far seems pretty good.
100 channels? Sounds like they don't understand cord cutters. Cord cutters don't want to pay for channels we don't watch.
You can tell T already knows it will fail when the story had to be dug out of the bigger acquisition lead.

What is incorrect about what I posted?
Incorrect data, there is nothing cheap about AT&T , Dow Jones Business News (Oct. 20, 2016) - AT&T's new streaming service will "stream dozens of channels without a cable box or dish"
"Customers will pay as little as $20 a month to stream almost 30 channels from Dish Networks SlingTV service, to as much as $75 a month for a bundle of over 100 channels including HBO and Showtime, from Sony Corp's PlayStation Vue service".
That's a substantial discount in price, considering the media report said cable TV "subscribers paid an average monthly bill of $117 in the last quarter".
"AT&T says it is going after 20 million U.S. households that don't pay for home TV, including cord-cutters and younger customers. It boasts of having more than 100 channels signed up, including ESPN, Discovery Channel and Nickelodeon."
"It is also an attempt to get ahead of others reportedly lining up wider cablelike services, including Apple Inc., Amazon.com Inc., Alphabet Inc. and Hulu, which is owned by Comcast Corp., Time Warner, Walt Disney Co. and 21st Century Fox Inc.."
