On September 4, Kinetic and AT&T announced that they are partnering to combine AT&T’s 5G network with Kinetic’s high-speed internet to benefit Kinetic customers across its 18-state footprint.
Ben Midanek, chief marketing officer at Kinetic, called the partnership a step towards improving quality and affordability.
“Our customers already enjoy the fastest internet options available,” said Midanek in a press release, “and now, coupled with AT&T’s fast, reliable, and secure service, our customers will be able to stream, work, and learn at lightning-fast speeds, while at home or on the road.”
Through the partnership, existing AT&T customers will be able to receive a $20 monthly savings on Kinetics’s high-speed internet for up to 24 months. The same offer is extended to new customers who switch to both AT&T and Kinetic.
Erin Scarborough, senior vice president of consumer products for AT&T, said the partnership will put more smartphones into the hands of Americans.
“We share in Kinetic’s goal to connect people wherever they are,” said Scarborough in the same press release. “This collaboration advances our mission to connect people to greater possibility, including bringing connectivity to help bridge the digital divide for millions across underserved and unserved communities.”
