AT&T is "Not Allowed" to Give Schools Quotes on Internet Service?
I represent a private school in the Central Midwest, and we were attempting to get a quote from AT&T for a dedicated internet line.
I spoke with a sales rep, had a meeting with an applications engineer to discuss technical specifics, and they said they'd get me a quote.
Now, almost 2 months later, I'm being told that AT&T is not allowed to give us a quote for internet service because the school doesn't receive federal funding (E-Rate).
Does this sound normal? Who do I need to talk to to get better information?
Thank you!
