What kind of speed do you get from AT&T? Charter has 30, 100, 200, or 1000 offered here. No DSL out here.
It's that time of year again, upcoming price changes.

What kind of speed do you get from AT&T? Charter has 30, 100, 200, or 1000 offered here. No DSL out here.
My spee is at 100 (Spectrum), but there is a budget for $14.95 for 30 here.
I have the 25 meg package. I tried for the 45 meg package, and the AT&T website said we could get it, but when the tech came out to install the modem, the signal wasn't strong enough. But when he tried modem designed for the 10-25 meg packages, the signal was average but was able to get it. 2 doors down though, the 10-25 meg package wasn't even an option due to our distance away from something (can't remember exactly what). That is how close I am to being stuck with the 3 meg DSL package I used to have. Literally my neighbors can't get the 10meg u-verse internet package. Even though I have the 25 meg package, very rarely do I get those speeds - much more in the 15-20 meg range, and that is what the tech told me would happen because of my distance. So much better than 3 megs, but not enough for me to dump Dish and go streaming only.
17 year Dish customer here.
AT250 w/locals, 722, 612, grandfathered $7 dvr fee.
Noticed bill went up due to past 2yr lock in commitment expired.
Past bills including $5~ tax = 97~ .
Called today to negotiate. They were really trying to upgrade me to Hopper/joey for free.
I declined.
They offered $15 off a month for 2 years, or $25 off a month for 1 year.
Took the one year commitment.
Which means bills stays basically the same including $5~ in taxes at $97~ .
Bill under $100, I'm happy.
Will renegotiate in a year.
Question; If I can figure out antenna to capture my locals OTA plugged into the 722 and 612 built-in ota tuners, then cancel the locals to save more $, will the dish guide still populate with programming info for locals?
IOW; Without Dish locals will dish guide still show local programming info with just OTA antenna plugged into 722 and 612 ota tuners?
Thanks

I presume DSL is different that cable internet as far as the strength getting a certain speed? Since I have never had DSL or any phone type of internet here, I am not familiar with how it works. One thing I am not happy with is, the wifi speed. I am paying for 100, which I get close to on the computer directly connected, but only get 45-60 via wifi from my $200 Netgear modem 15-20 feet away. There is sure a lot of loss in wifi. And I am about line of sight.
Dsl speed-you’re qualified for a speed based on your footage from a DSLAM (can be a really good speed like 100+ or very bad). Cable should be same as long as line is there. Make sure you’re using the 5ghz band that close. Some devices show a slower speed/not accurate speed like game consoles. Not sure about sat boxes.
You should go to your router's web page. That should tell you which devices are connected to your Wi-Fi and which devices are connected to the 2.4 GHz band and which ones are connected to the 5 GHz.
At least that's how it works for me. I have an AT&T router.

Thanks. I get about 50% on wifi and the info I have read that is about it with error correction and all. But at 40-50 down, do I really need anything more?
You get a $15 discount on HBO and a $10 discount on Cinemax. Combined it is $25...
Sorry, I don't really know. Somebody else is going to have to answer that.
For my devices connected to the 5 GHz band, I don't really get a strong signal, like 1 or 2 signal bars out of 5 usually. But I never get disconnected and the last time I checked it with Speedtest.net, I got 23 Mbps down, which is pretty good considering I'm on the 12.1 to 18 Mbps package.
