  • AT&T has announced it will end its home internet service in New York, effective January 15.
  • The decision comes in response to the state’s Affordable Broadband Act.
  • The law requires internet providers to offer low-income households broadband plans priced at $15 and $20.
AT&T has announced that it will cease offering its 5G home internet service in New York State. This drastic decision, first reported by CNET, comes in direct response to the state’s landmark Affordable Broadband Act (ABA), which mandates that internet service providers offer low-income households significantly cheaper internet plans. (h/t: Ars Technica)

Starting January 15, the Affordable Broadband Act (ABA) will require providers in New York State to offer plans at $15 per month for 25Mbps speeds or $20 per month for 200Mbps speeds. These prices must include all recurring taxes, fees, and equipment rental costs.
