AT&T Yahoo! is an information service sold by AT&T Internet Services. It is a partnership between AT&T, Inc. and Yahoo! Inc. to provide co-branded dial-up and DSL Internet service.
The AT&T Yahoo! high-speed service is only offered to customers who receive telephone service from AT&T in the former SBC service areas. Customers of the former BellSouth will still be provided broadband under the FastAccess DSL service during AT&T's integration of BellSouth.
From 2003 to January 1, 2006, the ISP was known as SBC Yahoo!; because of the SBC and AT&T merger, its name was changed.
Other ISPs owned by AT&T include Prodigy, whose customers were urged to migrate to the SBC Yahoo! service, and AT&T WorldNet, which still exists after the SBC/AT&T merger to serve customers not in SBC's existing service areas. AT&T also used to provide broadband Internet through cable under its AT&T Broadband division; that division was sold to Comcast in 2002.
Yahoo! also provides Internet service with other companies besides AT&T, such as Verizon and Rogers Communications in Canada as Verizon Yahoo! and Rogers Yahoo!, with BT Yahoo! in the UK for BT Group respectively.
Beginning May 2, 2011, all DSL customers of the company will be subject to a monthly use cap of 150GB. The company began sending users notice of the change in Terms of Service on March 18, 2011. The plan for charging when a user exceeds their limit is to begin doing so if the account exceeds the limit three times over the life of the account, and will be $10 for every 50GB of overuse for DSL users.[1]
