AT&amp;T is raising prices by $5 a month on all AT&amp;T Internet plans, the company confirms to The Verge. That\u2019s on top of its $5-a-month increase from November 2024, and, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.reddit.com\/r\/ATT\/comments\/15b3xp4\/fiber_internet_1000_went_up_by_5_with_no\/\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">it appears<\/a>, a $5-a-month increase on <a href=\"https:\/\/www.reddit.com\/r\/ATT\/comments\/15b3xp4\/fiber_internet_1000_went_up_by_5_with_no\/\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">some customers<\/a> in 2023 as well.<\/p>\n<p class=\"duet--article--dangerously-set-cms-markup duet--article--standard-paragraph _1ymtmqpi _17nnmdy1 _17nnmdy0 _1xwtict1\">\u201cTo ensure we continue providing the quality service and support you deserve, the price of your home internet plan will increase by $5\/month, starting December 1, 2025,\u201d reads an email I received Thursday. But it\u2019s not just me, the company confirms.<\/p>\n<p class=\"duet--article--dangerously-set-cms-markup duet--article--standard-paragraph _1ymtmqpi _17nnmdy1 _17nnmdy0 _1xwtict1\">Here\u2019s AT&amp;T\u2019s statement, via spokesperson Jim Kimberly:<\/p>\n<p class=\"duet--article--dangerously-set-cms-markup ewrhy38 _1xwtict1\">As we work to meet the evolving needs of our business and manage increasing operational costs, we\u2019re adjusting our internet plan rates to help maintain the high-quality service our customers expect. We\u2019re committed to keeping customers informed about these updates and their choices. To help offset these changes, customers who have not already enrolled in Autopay and Paperless Billing can receive a $10 monthly discount by enrolling with an eligible bank account, or a $5 discount with a debit card. Customers can review all details regarding their plan and associated fees on their monthly statements or by visiting att.com.<\/p>\n<p class=\"duet--article--dangerously-set-cms-markup duet--article--standard-paragraph _1ymtmqpi _17nnmdy1 _17nnmdy0 _1xwtict1\">It\u2019s true that AT&amp;T did report $300 million in higher operating expenses last quarter. However, the company rakes in so much money it also made $4.9 billion in pure profit <a href=\"https:\/\/about.att.com\/story\/2025\/2q-earnings.html\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">during those three months<\/a>, and $12.3 billion in pure profit during <a href=\"https:\/\/about.att.com\/story\/2025\/4q-earnings-2024.html\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">the entirety of 2024<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p class=\"duet--article--dangerously-set-cms-markup duet--article--standard-paragraph _1ymtmqpi _17nnmdy1 _17nnmdy0 _1xwtict1\">Kimberly writes that while the new price increase will apply to all AT&amp;T Internet plans, it won\u2019t affect customers who signed up in the last year, or those through its Access from AT&amp;T program for low-income households.<\/p>\n<p class=\"duet--article--dangerously-set-cms-markup duet--article--standard-paragraph _1ymtmqpi _17nnmdy1 _17nnmdy0 _1xwtict1\">I signed up with AT&amp;T in 2022 for around $80 a month, currently pay $85.38, and I guess I\u2019ll soon be paying over $90.
