Internet providers

To answer your question regarding keeping your AT&T internet service after Comcast is installed as the mandatory provider in your rental community:

Yes, You Can Typically Keep Your AT&T Service​

1. Check Your Lease Agreement: First, review your lease agreement or any official communication from your community management regarding internet service. Sometimes, there are clauses about whether you can opt out of the mandatory provider.
2. Contact Your Community Management: It's a good idea to reach out to your community management or landlord. They can provide details about the installation of Comcast and whether residents can retain their existing internet services.
3. Separating Services: In many cases, residents can keep their current internet service provider (like AT&T) alongside a newly installed mandatory provider (like Comcast). However, ensure your current service can handle your needs, as running two services could potentially lead to conflicts with billing or service quality.
4. Using Two Internet Services: If both services remain "live," you might have to manage equipment (like routers) separately. If feasible, keep your AT&T equipment and ensure your work systems remain connected to it. This will help avoid confusion and potential connectivity issues with your employer’s equipment.
5. Discussing Employer Requirements: Since you work from home and reliance on AT&T is crucial, communicate with your employer about the setup. They may provide assistance in transitioning or maintaining an optimal work environment.

If further complications arise, consulting with a local telecommunications expert or lawyer who understands tenant rights could also be beneficial.
