Gigapower Pricing
So gigapower is available for me as of today but the website doesn't reflect it yet.
Can anyone tell me what Chicaog GigaPower Pricing is?
I currently have Max Plus and U200 and I'm trying to estimate my incremental cost but I've been on chat with AT&T reps twice today and they are just giving me the run around - I don't want to call in and talk to someone on the phone.

@jcwillia1 Until it shows up for you here:
https://www.att.com/shop/unified/availability.html?product_suite=gigapower&saveme=True
You won't be able to order it.
Who let you knew it was good for you today?

can't reveal that 🙂
but I confirmed it with chat people - so I know it's right.
so I have read in various places that Gigabit service costs $120 a month in Chicago but then I thought I read somewhere that the cost of TV on top of that is like $10 or something ridiculously cheap. If that's the case, we can start this train right now.
If I'm going to triple my cable bill, well... then ... 🙂
(and yes I'm exaggerating)
they said I could call a phone number and get it ordered but I want information and prices and I have had really bad experiences with U-Verse phone sales and support.

"• U-verse High Speed Internet Premier: Internet speeds up to 1Gbps starting as low as $110 a month, or speeds at 300Mbps as low as $80 a month, with a one year price guarantee.4
• U-verse High Speed Internet Premier + TV: Internet speeds up to 1Gbps and qualifying TV service starting as low as $150 a month, or speeds at 300Mbps and qualifying TV service as low as $120 a month, with a one year price guarantee."
+$40 for TV - does that sound right? $40 for what though?
current pricing is $19 basic, $65 Standard, $80 U-200, $95 U300, $127 U-450
+$10 for HD
also, what are upstream rates - I'm seeing symmetrical - can that be right?

When I get information from AT&T chat, I assume that it's wrong.
Gigapower is indeed symetrical.
Your list of prices looks right to me. I do not know how steep the introductory discount is, or what service level you might get in that bundle where TV appears to cost only $40.

I finally found this by clicking on the Details link on the Gigapower page...
$150 U-verse with AT&T GigaPower offer: For residential customers in GigaPower areas when ordered online at att.com. Price for U200 TV and High Speed Internet 1Gbps. 1-year term required.
so if I'm reading this right, my increase for gigabit internet is almost completely offset by the decrease in TV price.

Note the "ordered online at att.com." Do not order by chat. Do not order on phone. Do not contact AT&T by chat or phone to make any changes to the order before the installation is complete. Doing any of these things make it a non-online order.

Yeah. Good luck with that. The idea is to encourage you to use channels where no one gets paid commission or a salary for helping you.

purchased last night - prices on phone were no different online vs on phone.
ONE LITTLE CATCH - in order to get the advertised pricing you have to opt in to them "monitoring" your internet traffic in order to send you ads and offers from around the internet. Sort of harmless but also kind of gross.
I get why they are doing it but it's a growing trend and I don't like it.
There is an opt-out option for $36 extra per month.
