SBC rebranded as AT&T after a mid-2000s acquisition. Today AT&T provides online bill pay and unified billing, as well as a mix of internet services (AT&T Fiber, legacy DSL, fixed wireless). Business customers can add security and managed-support options. Availability, speeds, and promotions vary by location, so check your address before signing up.

From SBC to AT&T: a quick history

SBC Communications acquired AT&T and adopted the AT&T name in the mid-2000s. Around that time, SBC and Yahoo ran co-branded consumer services and portals, but those kinds of partnerships have since ended and the companies now operate separately. The telecom landscape has changed: legacy DSL remains in some areas, while fiber and wireless options have expanded.

Online bill pay and unified billing

AT&T today offers online bill pay and unified billing for customers with phone, internet, and TV services. You can enroll through your AT&T account online or the AT&T mobile app. Typical enrollment asks for account verification and a payment method - bank routing/account numbers or card details - so you can stop mailing checks and avoid trips to the bank.

Online billing also supports paperless statements, scheduled payments, and autopay. These features make it easier to track recurring charges and keep a single bill for multiple services.

Business accounts: security and support

AT&T sells both consumer and small-to-large business internet services. Business plans commonly include options for enhanced security (firewalling, spam and virus filtering, and managed services) and dedicated support channels. Specific security features and response levels depend on the business plan and add-on services.

If you run a small business, look for packages that bundle security tools and priority technical support. For larger organizations, AT&T Business offers scalable managed networking and cybersecurity services.

Choosing the right AT&T Internet service

AT&T now markets multiple internet products, including AT&T Fiber where available, legacy DSL in certain markets, and fixed wireless in select regions. Speeds and prices vary by technology and location. AT&T often advertises introductory promotions for new customers; terms, speeds, and availability depend on your address.

If you have an older SBC/AT&T DSL modem, check whether your address qualifies for AT&T Fiber or if your DSL service remains active. In many areas, fiber delivers far higher speeds than DSL, but fiber availability is not universal.

Tips for switching or signing up

  • Check availability at your address before choosing a plan.
  • Enroll in online billing and autopay to consolidate bills and reduce paper mail.
  • Compare security and support features if you need business-grade service.
  • Ask about current promotions and contract terms before you sign up. 1
The core benefit remains the same as when SBC and AT&T began combining services: simplified billing and bundled communication options. The details have shifted with new technologies, so verify availability and pricing for your specific location.
  1. Confirm current AT&T service availability tool URL and exact enrollment steps for online bill pay.
  2. Verify whether AT&T still offers fixed wireless in specific regions and current branded product names.
  3. Confirm historical details and dates for the SBC/AT&T rebranding and the SBC-Yahoo co-branded services to provide precise year references if needed.
  4. Check current promotions, typical starting prices, and state coverage figures before quoting any specific price or availability numbers.
