WASHINGTON, July 22, 2026 – AT&T added 367,000 fiber subscribers and 279,000 fixed wireless subscribers in the second quarter of 2026.
Those both beat analyst expectations, especially the fiber additions. It was the company’s best second quarter results for fiber net adds, and best ever for combined fiber and fixed wireless net adds, AT&T CEO John Stankey said on the company’s earnings call.
With the industry facing fierce competition, engaging a turnkey supply chain solutions and deployment partner is a more efficient and lower risk path.
The company will hold a live audio-only call at 4:30 ET to discuss earnings after the market closes.
The bill also bans the use of mobile phones in high schools.
The case began when bestselling novelist Andrea Bartz and two other authors filed the suit in 2024.
