AT&T. I used to live in a very rural area with very low service. But according to their maps, my service was great, and I should have absolutely no problems using my service at my house whatsoever.

Well AT&T, I hate to tell you, but I live at my house, and your maps don't. And AT&T is like, okay, you can buy this $400 Wi-Fi booster that you plug into your internet, and it will make your signal stronger.

So, I cancelled my AT&T service and went with somebody else.

It was such a bad experience that if I can avoid it, I will never use any service of theirs ever again. And I actively discourage others as well.

This all took place in 2013 or 2014, and over a decade later, I still refuse to use any service that they offer.
