Decided to click on their links at the top of the page. Smaller content but other than names mentioned you would think you were on the AT&T page. Same issues and complaints. Different business models but the thrust of their posts are the same.

Just had to think hard for about 60 seconds to remember the name of HBO's streaming service. HBO Plus? HBO Go? HBO Now? This is not a good sign. (P.S., it's HBO Max.)
