If there's one arena where AT&T is outpacing not only T-Mobile, but also Verizon to some extent, it's fast internet. The company is reducing fiber prices, letting those who also bundle cellular service save as much as $420 annually.
Refreshed fiber plans

AT&T will launch new fiber plans on June 7. The 300Mbps tier serves as the new entry-level option, costing $50/month on its own or dropping to $35 if you pair it with wireless.
The 500Mbps and 1-Gig plans will run $65 and $80, respectively, and their bundle price will be $50 and $60.
Finally, there's now a 5-Gig plan that lands at $125/month standalone, or $100 with cellular service.

AT&T's offerings are currently a little crowded with six different options. The current baseline gives you 100Mbps for $45/month, and there's also a 2-Gig plan sitting at $155/month. Both of those are getting axed.
All current plans are more expensive than the soon-to-be rolled-out versions, but the difference isn't that drastic when you factor in the current discounts.
Why would or wouldn't you switch to AT&T's new plans?

I don't want to purchase both services from the same company
According to BNP Paribas, AT&T has lowered the entry point to make the service accessible to new segments, including price-sensitive customers. This is part of the company's strategy to boost fiber penetration to 50%.

The firm further reports that customer focus is shifting from fast speeds to price, which makes AT&T's move all the more prudent.
