We have discovered what it takes to kick AT&T into its fastest fiber-installation mode, and the answer is a quarter-page Wall Street Journal print ad. https://t.co/V9SdycEo5r

$10K print ad is the Greatest Generation equivalent to dragging on social.

It's super effective https://t.co/gqxF8CsbEW
It worked: a week later, after national media attention, Epstein has 300mbps symmetrical fiber. AT&T figured that in this one instance, doing its job was more important than protecting its shareholders.https://t.co/C8mjXMBqzP

It took a $10,000 ad to get faster internet. His neighbors still don't have it

AT&T scrambles to install fiber for 90-year-old after his viral WSJ ad https://t.co/B2iTETIiJj
The actual CEO of AT&T called Aaron Epstein today, and apparently contradicted what AT&T public relations told me. AT&T's statement was difficult to believe even before, as they are claiming they always planned to do this upgrade and finished the whole neighborhood. https://t.co/V9SdycEo5r pic.twitter.com/tC22RJmlkN

No, you don't have to buy a $10,000 ad to get Sonic fiber!

Instead, write to your City Council and ask them to make it a priority to update construction standards. Many cities do not allow new trenchless construction, blocking competitive fiber buildout.https://t.co/YMnvWK9ZkO https://t.co/yNU581x0rH
Good for them and for him for speaking out the way he did. Sad he had to spend that kind of money to get their attention, but dealing with customer service can be a nightmare for even tech savvy folks. https://t.co/siuXuAgpRI

and all it took was a $1100 ad in a major paper followed by nationwide press attention!

(I'll assume the millions of marginalized folks in cities like Detroit, Dallas, and Cleveland haven't gotten their upgrades yet?)https://t.co/eu1rNAG6Gy https://t.co/Oxhq2AwVnI
그 광고에 대략 만달러가 들어갔고. 바로 AT&T에서 연락이 왔고 그 다음날 기사가 와서 광케이블을 설치해주고 갔다고 함. 지금은 3백메가 이상 나온다고. 근데 문제는 이 할아버지 이웃들은 아직 DSL쓴다고; 그는 “AT&T는 영화가 아니라 통신망에 돈을 써야한다”고 일침. https://t.co/xAWvSWhiDn pic.twitter.com/5zr1PFtljb

And for those in areas without fast Internet who can't afford to place full page WSJ ads, just sign up for Starlink from @SpaceX

Updated story. AT&T upgraded his neighborhood to optical fiber service. So, the ad worked.https://t.co/0EXOxjQn93

지난주 WSJ에 AT&T의 광랜 보급이 지지부진해 자기 집 인터넷이 느려터진 DSL만 된다는 지면광고를 낸 애런은 1960년부터 AT&T 고객. 신문이 나온 다음날, 기술진이 방문했고 어제 대칭형 광랜(300Mbps)이 그의 집에 개통됐습니다. 이웃에게도 12개월 안에 개통될 예정이라고.https://t.co/i9cyNebm8Z

Great job @ATT! Now go install the internet to the millions of families who can barely pay their bills during the pandemic, can’t afford internet, but their kids need the it for school... and have to literally go to @McDonalds to do homework ? https://t.co/TEg2UZ654b
