One "hack" I discovered not too long ago, is if you get "Internet only", there's not a penny of taxes.

But if you get "Internet + TV" even for the same price, there's like 25% extra in taxes and fees applied to the whole amount.

So even when they offer "TV for free" it turns out it costs an extra $15/month of these taxes+fees.

Until you sign up for AT&T Fiber what tacks on a $10 equipment fee that does allow taxes.
