AT&T Hikes Internet Prices Again: Details and Savings Solutions
AT&T Internet Service Price Increase

AT&T announced a new price increase for its home internet service of $5 per month, effective December 1, 2025. This increase is the second in a row, as the company had raised internet plan prices by $5 per month in November 2024, and some customers experienced other increases in 2023. The company justifies this step as necessary to cover increasing operational costs and ensure the continued provision of high-quality internet services. In this context, AT&T spokesperson, Jim Kimberly, stated that the company is committed to keeping its customers informed about these updates and their available options.
How to Mitigate the Impact of the Increase

To mitigate the impact of these internet price increases, customers who have not yet enrolled in automatic payments and paperless billing can benefit from a monthly discount of $10 when signing up using an eligible bank account, or a $5 discount when using a debit card.
