Everything seems to be seeing back-to-back price hikes right now, why not your home internet bill too? AT&T is raising prices by $5 per month on all AT&T Internet plans, company confirms The edge. This is in addition to its $5 per month increase starting in November 2024 and, reportedly, a $5 per month increase for some customers in 2023 as well.
“To ensure we continue to provide the quality service and support you deserve, the price of your home internet plan will increase by $5/month starting December 1, 2025,” reads an email I received Thursday. But it’s not just me, the company confirms.
Here’s AT&T’s statement, via spokesperson Jim Kimberly:
As we work to meet the changing needs of our business and manage increasing operational costs, we are adjusting the prices of our Internet packages to help maintain the high-quality service our customers have come to expect. We are committed to keeping our customers informed of these updates and their choices. To help offset these changes, customers who are not yet enrolled in autopay and paperless billing can receive a $10 monthly discount by signing up with an eligible bank account, or a $5 discount with a debit card. Customers can view full details regarding their plan and associated fees on their monthly statements or by visiting att.com.
It’s true that AT&T reported $300 million higher operating expenses last quarter. However, the company made so much money that it also made $4.9. billion of pure profit during these three months and $12.3 billion in pure profit for all of 2024.
Kimberly writes that while the new price increase will apply to all of AT&T’s internet plans, it won’t affect customers who signed up within the last year, nor those through its Access from AT&T program for low-income households.
I signed up with AT&T in 2022 for around $80 a month, I’m currently paying $85.38 and I suspect I’ll be paying over $90 soon. Here is the entire email I received:
