It's at a really low price right now around $22. It's P/E ratio is around 8. Dividend is 7.3%.
I just got AT&T Fiber 300 service, and let me tell you I have never experienced such excellent service in my life. They told me it was available one day last week, I signed up for it and they installed it at 8AM the next morning.
The service is guaranteed at 300 mbps both DOWN AND UP! Cable services typically only have 10-40 mbps up which makes uploads take forever. However I am getting more than 300 up and down.. it's more like 370 mbps.
It's $55 per month and tax/fees are 35 cents so it's $55.35 here in Oklahoma. They promise the monthly bill won't go up in 12 months. They have no equipment fee. Their router/modem is the best looking one I've ever seen (upright trapezodial monolithic with one light at the bottom middle).
The had a rep come out right after it was installed to make sure I was happy (and of course to pitch a few other things but they didnt' press them at all). He was a really nice young guy; we talked a bit and he's doing Dave Ramsey's debt snowball right now but I told him about MrMoneyMustache and I think he might check it out :)
There is no data cap either.
They even made a personalized video addressed to me, they actually say my name in the video, explaining my bill and dollar amounts and when the bill is due.
I just have never seen this sort of service and value before. The rep told me people in the area are quitting cable internet in large numbers every day switching to AT&T fiber.
I don't know the rest about the company other than that they gave up on digital content streaming and the low stock price reflects their failure in that area. I am more interested in their internet offerings and I suspect great growth but I could be wrong. I also like the high dividend.
So with all that said I am thinking of putting like 5% of my monthly allotment into T instead of all into VTI. Just because I like the company so much and what they offer. But I know it's not necessarily a good purchase just because I am personally happy with what AT&T provides me.. so this is why I posted this here.. to see what others think about AT&T and investing like 5% into it.
