AT&T charges more for fiber internet if Google's not in your town
The same story seems to be true wherever you look. In Dallas, where AT&T's headquarters are located, the company charges the full $110. In North Carolina, AT&T launched its gigabit service at $120 a month, but when Google moved in, it dropped the price to $70. This is not to mention that it's also mandatory for AT&T users paying for the above mentioned gigabit speeds to sign up for "AT&T Internet Preferences" — a web monitoring service that collects users' search and browser history in order to deliver targeted adverts. The message seems to be that without competition, you not only pay more, you also give more away.
