WASHINGTON, Oct. 20, 2025 – AT&T’s impending price hike for home broadband does not apply to its fixed wireless customers, the company said Monday.

News outlets reported Friday that the company notified customers their broadband plans would increase by $5 per month starting Dec. 1. Asked by Broadband Breakfast, an AT&T spokesperson said fixed wireless customers were exempt from the increase.

The mobile carrier has about 1 million fixed wireless subscribers, compared to about 9.8 million fiber subscribers.
