The initial process involves determining whether or not AT&T Internet Fiber has reached your house. This can be done by plugging in your address at the address checker section of AT&T’s homepage. The site will inform you whether fiber-optic broadband is available and what internet speed packages you can expect to be provided for the area you live in.

Some of the details that you will need to enter include your contact details and the service address. AT&T has a new order activation fee that can vary depending on the location but is approximately $49 although it offers some promotions where the fee can be exempted.
The following action that the client should take is to schedule an appointment for the installation of the AT&T service. Upon your order placement, you can select the dates and schedule your setup. These installations are normal and no digging or special construction on your part is needed to get it done. During the appointment date, an AT&T technician will come to your home with the AT&T Fiber box that should be placed outside a home then connect the fiber optics inside the home until the planned internet router and/or Wi-Fi gateway device.
During the appointment, the necessary wiring connections will be made by the technician and the technician will double-check to ensure that all the connections made are correct. This involves the setting up of your Wireless gateway and hooking up your device to the fast network. The technician should also show you how to log into the AT&T Smart Home Manager app, which allows you to track usage, manage your Wi-Fi, and more if you are a new customer. On average, you should expect the in-home appointment to last between 1 and 5 hours due to the nature of the installation process.
Again, it must be pointed out that AT&T sets up another appointment for any outside line work on the property before the installation process if the property is not wired for AT&T lines at the time. This work often comprises running the fiber line from the street right to your house. Therefore, you may order with us today and wait for your in-home appointment to come at a later date because of this construction schedule. If you are buying, you should call AT&T and ask them regarding the timelines of delivery so that you do not get confused.
Also important to mention is the fact that when visiting the installation appointment, the customers will find that AT&T provides them with fiber internet service on a 12-month+ term, meaning that they will have to commit to the fiber plan for that amount of time. It is also important to be aware of any other account obligations, other charges for extra services (for instance, TV bundles), use of data allowance rules, and other terms and conditions before placing the order.
While joining the AT&T Fiber without compromising the connection’s blazing speeds does involve some scheduling and the installation of equipment. After that, you will get a top-of-the-line broadband connection where your download and upload speeds are the same and this is something that cable internet cannot offer. Many households can greatly benefit from the investment since contemporary networks have a difficult time handling multiple devices or users. If you are investigating a new connection and would prefer more bandwidth and speed, you would not regret it to sign up with AT&T Fiber Optics.
