Are you paying double for your internet bill? AT&T says new plans starting Tuesday, March 31st could lower your monthly bill by bundling your home internet and wireless service into one subscription.
The new plan is targeted at customers who pay separately for home internet and mobile service, a setup that AT&T says can result in higher monthly charges. By bundling both into one subscription, the company is positioning OneConnect as a simpler and potentially cheaper alternative to traditional wireless and broadband plans.
“Why buy twice when you only have one Internet?” Jennifer Robertson, AT&T’s executive vice president, said in a statement. “Delivering a seamless, reliable connectivity experience at home or on the go in three easy steps.”
AT&T says customers can sign up within five minutes. All OneConnect plans include unlimited mobile data combined with 1 gig of home internet, with monthly fees ranging from $90 to $225 depending on the plan.
The company says cost savings will come from consolidation. AT&T claims that its bundle plans cost less than similar services from Verizon, T‑Mobile, and Spectrum, noting that its $120 per month Duo plan is on average $39 cheaper than comparable plans from these competitors.
