I signed up for the Spectrum Internet Premier 500/20 and Spectrum Mobile just before I moved about 2 months ago. This Spectrum internet line is $30/month for two years and includes a Spectrum Mobile line that is free for one year.

Earlier this month I decided to also sign up for an AT&T Fiber 1000/1000 line for $35/month (after autopay with bank account ACH debit). The discount on this line is "ongoing" (which maybe means that the discount is good for the life of the account as long as I don't change the plan).

I'm debating on whether or not I should drop the AT&T Fiber line to save the $ (I really should be saving to help pay down credit card debt, but man, that 1000 mbps upload is soooo nice!) since I also have the Spectrum line. I use the Spectrum line as a wired-only connection to my work VPN that is also on Spectrum at my office and use the AT&T Fiber for the house WiFi.

I'd hate to drop the AT&T Fiber line and never be able to get it back for $40ish a month.

My work laptop and personal VOIP fax line are the only things I am using the Spectrum line for at the moment. The AT&T gateway is in the downstairs bedroom with no way to run a wired connection other than to run a really long (100 ft.) ethernet cable to the upstairs or settle for only a 50/50 mbps link using my Powerline over Ethernet adapters. I'm also considering getting a 100 ft. fiber cable so I can move the AT&T gateway upstairs. I live in a rental, so I can't drill holes to run cables through.

What would you do in this scenario? Thanks!

I just signed up for AT&T Fiber 1 gig (Internet 1000) for $35/month with autopay from bank account (ACH debit):

When I click on "See plan discounts", then click on "offer details", I get this verbiage:

I don't see anything in there saying that the discount is for only 12 or 24 months. In my customer portal, Under "Monthly charges" on my bill, it says "$45 off ongoing" underneath the "Internet 1000 (Fiber 1 GIG) Stand-alone".

I asked two AT&T Fiber reps via chat how long my discount was for- they both said that it was a 24 month discount?

I've read some posts here saying that "ongoing" means "for the life of the account as long as you don't change your plan". Are the reps wrong?

Thanks!
