AT&T low-income plans
AT&T currently offers just one plan option for low-income customers in Fremont, called AT&T Access 10.
The key issue with AT&T's low-income offerings is network availability. Less than half of the AT&T network in Fremont has been upgraded to fiber, which means that most low-income locations are serviced by older copper lines. AT&T is a better fit for mid-income customers using an ACP discount — but only within the AT&T Fiber service area.
AT&T Access 10
- Download speed: 10 Mbps (10 Mbps upload)
- Monthly price: $10 plus tax
- Fees: Taxes only.
