This was bitterly needed because ATT support has been horrible so far. Let's hope it works out .

And yes, the AI bots are a disaster everywhere.

None of these carriers are ever going to have good customer support. They all outsource their customer service too other countries. They all use cheat sheets to provide service that they dont even use locally.


Mist of the calls go to the Philippines or India. Because all these companies wanna make lots of money, but cheap out on everything else.


It's not going to be better. It is just a marketing illusion.

So, yes, that was totally true for the last 20+ years. AT&T has publicly stated that they are reducing their "offshore" headcount and using AI to screen inbound care calls. No more "press 1 for ___, 2 for ____". It now just asks "how can I help you". Once it figures out what you want, it routes you to a person in the US.

No. After half an hour fighting with AI bots I get 3 hours later calls from the Philippines.
