AT&T is reportedly increasing home internet prices for certain customers by $5 per month starting August 16. This price hike will affect customers on legacy AT&T Fiber and Internet Air plans. While promotional discounts are expected to remain, the increased base rate means many subscribers will ultimately pay more.

This follows a series of price increases AT&T has implemented on its wireless plans earlier this year. The company states that the additional revenue will fund network and service improvements, a familiar explanation for previous price adjustments. Customers may receive notices on their upcoming billing statements detailing the change.

With AT&T continuing to offer newer plans, such as its customizable Build-A-Plan service, this price increase on older plans could incentivize subscribers to explore alternative or newer offerings. Customers with affected plans are advised to review their bills and compare their current plan with newer AT&T options or competing providers to assess the continued financial viability of their service.
