AT&T Bundles Plans and Pricing

Are AT&T bundles good?

While we’re fans of the super-fast AT&T Fiber internet, we don’t love that AT&T doesn’t offer a discount for bundling with overpriced DIRECTV STREAM packages or AT&T’s voice-over-internet-protocol (VoIP) home phone.

If you want to give an AT&T bundle a shot, there’s no annual contract, so you’re free cancel if you find it’s not for you. We recommend Internet 300 + DIRECTV STREAM ENTERTAINMENT, since it’s a great starting point to cover all your basic needs without breaking the bank.

AT&T bundles deals and promotions

While AT&T doesn’t offer discounts on bundles, both AT&T and DIRECTV STREAM regularly offer sign-up incentives to new customers. Check out AT&T Deals and Promotions for a full list of AT&T’s ongoing deals, and check our internet deals and streaming deals pages to see if there are any promotions of note this month.

Also, keep in mind that AT&T includes its Wi-Fi Gateway in its internet pricing. Other providers charge anywhere from $5 to $15 per month for modem and router rentals, so this is a sweet little deal that makes AT&T’s pricing a bit more transparent than its competitors.

AT&T bundles plans and pricing

With DIRECTV STREAM, AT&T offers TV and internet bundles; internet and home phone bundles; and TV, internet, and home phone bundles.

All those services means there’s a lot of mixing and matching you can do to get the perfect plan for you. Want faster internet speeds but fewer TV channels? No problem.

But to keep things simple, we’ve listed only a few example bundles to get you started, rather than all 70 possible iterations. If you want to find the price on a different bundle, just add the price of each separate package together—AT&T doesn’t offer any discounts when you bundle.

For added expenses, check out our in-depth review of AT&T hidden fees. And keep in mind that if you want more DVR storage than the default 20 hours, unlimited DVR storage costs another $10 per month.

AT&T’s bundles don’t offer anything fancy, but AT&T’s service is pretty darn good to begin with. For example, while some providers give you unlimited internet data with bundle plans, AT&T standalone fiber plans have already done away with data caps, so you’re in the clear for that whether or not you bundle.

For your internet plan, even the slowest AT&T Fiber plan offers superb home internet, so we recommend you start with Internet 300. Unless you stream video games on Twitch or your house is brimming with smart home devices, you probably won’t need to upgrade to a more expensive internet speed.

DIRECTV STREAM isn’t among our favorite live TV streaming services, so we don’t have a particular plan we’d recommend for it. In fact, you should check out what other live TV streaming services offer before you decide to go for an AT&T bundle. We’re big fans of YouTube TV and Hulu.

If you’ve got the cash, AT&T offers Hyper-GIG Speed plans that go up to 5 Gbps (5,000 Mbps). AT&T’s 5 Gig Internet is one of the fastest plans on the market, and honestly offers a lot of bang for your buck. Team that up with DIRECTV STREAM PREMIER for your favorite premium channels included and an unlimited international home phone plan, and you’ve got the best of everything AT&T has to offer.

But most folks don’t need 5 Gbps at home—the Internet 300 plan should cover most of your streaming and smart home needs. Pair that with DIRECTV STREAM ENTERTAINMENT to get your favorite local and cable channels (like CNN, Disney Channel, and ESPN). It’s a pricey plan, but it should cover your basics.

AT&T internet plus home phone bundles and pricing

While you can’t get standalone home phone with AT&T (the VoIP technology requires an internet connection to work), you can bundle it with your AT&T internet plan.

AT&T Phone Unlimited North America gives you unlimited calling to the US, US territories, Canada, and Mexico for $24.99 a month (on top of your internet plan costs).

If you make a bunch of international calls, you might consider AT&T Phone Unlimited International Plus, which gives you the same unlimited calling, plus discounted per-minute rates on international calls. This plan will run you $31.99 a month in addition to your internet plan.

You may not want this extra expense if you don’t use a home phone often. However, a landline can help emergency responders find your home quickly (though we hope you don’t ever need to call them).

Like we mentioned at the start of the page, the best bundle AT&T has to offer is 5 Gig Internet, DIRECTV STREAM PREMIER, and Unlimited International Plus. With 5,000 Mbps download speeds, 140+ channels, and discounted international calls, you’ll be living the high life—for $359.98 a month. Oof.

In addition to being super pricey, this bundle is overkill. Consider pairing your speedy AT&T internet with another live TV streaming service instead. You can get YouTube TV for only $72.99 per month, and we like it better anyway.

AT&T cable and Wi-Fi equipment

For your AT&T bundle, you’ll need the AT&T Wi-Fi Gateway and a streaming device. Like we mentioned above, AT&T includes your gateway rental in the price of your service, so no need to worry about extra fees there.

While you could just stream DIRECTV STREAM on your phone, computer, or tablet, most folks prefer to watch TV on, well, a TV. For that you’ll need a streaming device.

DIRECTV STREAM is compatible with most major streaming devices, and you can check out all our recommendations in our “Best Streaming TV Devices” review.

Final take: Are AT&T bundles worth it?

TL;DR: We don’t love AT&T bundles because DIRECTV STREAM is overpriced, lacking all the flexibility of most streaming services and all the familiarity of traditional cable and satellite TV. While we give AT&T internet the stamp of approval, you can do so much better than DIRECTV STREAM.
