10 bucks isnt for the router, its not even for the modem - its for the Fiber to ethernet converter box that you cannot buy. Thats why even if you have your own compatible modem/router they can still charge you the $10.
So it is actually $60 with the fiber cable box rental you cannot purchase your own per month plus taxes. How much does the price go up to after the first year is over?
Normal price is $70/mo + rental, you are saving $20/mo with the deal, a total of $240 savings in a year.
Added att fiber only last week. This is a deal for the bundle with TV only, the TV side is a 24 month contract which has a big increase for second year. Cheapest bundle TV deal is $59.99/month first year then goes up to $97/month second year at current rates. The fiber discount is first year only, then normal price second year and on. No contract.
The increase for tv the second year is a deal breaker for us right now, we decided on the fiber and added paying no contract for Hulu + live tv for now. Att fiber gives you hbo max included... so about$140ish per month no contracts.
I keep seeing this every week and feel bad every week because this isn't available in my area. I was so excited back when they announced AT&T fiber. That was at least 5 years ago and seems that they just stop upgrading old lines here in San Jose, CA.

I used link from Cashback site " BeF gal" coming from their site it automatically added the $100 and the $25 GC promos when ordering internet only. On the check out screen if you wait for the pop up it says get an additional $100 card now if you order today. You click the check out button and it adds the last $100 for and all 3 showed.
BeFrug is a scam. They dont pay sometimes. Especially on high value cb such as this. TCB is not perfect either but if I have to choose between the two I recommend TCB
That is incorrect. The equipment fee for att is for their "gateway" which is a modem when they use it with their DSL and router when used with fiber. There is no rental fee for the Optical Network Terminal which is the device that attaches to your wall and converts the fiber to Ethernet (and then connects to their gateway).
you can use their gateway in a passthrough mode and this allows you to use your own router. Their gateway is used for some sort of authentication. it's really dumb. no other fiber provider requires this.
I don't have AT&T fiber, but I do have fiber from my local provider, my experience MIGHT be applicable.
I wanted to bypass my ISP's gateway/router (not the ONT), so after they connected my house to their fiber system and confirmed it worked as designed, they left. I then connected my router directly to the ONT instead, bypassing their gateway, but it didn't work. I later learned that I needed to spoof the MAC address (as if my router was actually theirs). This worked, and it has been flawless ever since.
All that to say, yes, it might be possible to eliminate their gateway, but I probably did need it to originally setup the system. Knowing AT&T, even if you needed it just once, they'd probably want to continually pop you for it.

Never had an issue with Befrug. This CB would be on the higher side but have always gotten some amount even if it was less than advertised. When I check my shopping trips in my account it does show
Store: AT&T TV + Internet
Order Amount: $0.00
Cash Back Amount: $130.00
I always looked at the CB as icing on the cake show here is to hoping I get something.

I was on their Internet 300 plan for 300Mbps/300Mbps for $50/month and no equipment fee that was about to expire next week. I called AT&T and requested "retentions" like others mentioned. I was auto routed to the retentions department and asked for Internet 1000 plan with new promotion of $49.99/month and $10/month for the equipment charge. The rep came back and said he was able to upgrade me to Internet 1000 plan for $49.99/month and since I was not paying anything for the equipment that they would not charge me the extra $10/month for the equipment rental.

I just signed up but it says "Enjoy a 30-day free trial of HBO Max™! We'll email you a promo code and details on how to start your trial."
HBO is included for 30 days or for 12 months?

I ordered last week with a monitor, 100 dollars gift card, and the same plan as OP said.

What kind of monitor was it?
Instead of 1Gbps it changed to 100 and limit to 1TB data.
with two $10 CR for 12 months and $100 reward card.
Not sure it added $25 for some reason
When I called they told me this is the best they have available at the moment because there is no ATT fiber in my area
Anyone in same situation?
I may need to cancel later today. What a pain.

You can spoof it and give your modem the same name but you would need there's initially to get the address to spoof.
I got the fee for gateway rental dropped for 1 year by upper tier customer service.
Store: AT&T TV + Internet
Order Amount: $0.00
Cash Back Amount: $130.00
