<human>: Can you summarize the given text in a few sentences?

I live in an area highly dominated by Time Warner Cable Company and all of its smaller spinoffs and whatnot.  And so AT&T and DirecTV make runs as per usual to people's houses trying to talk bad about Time Warner.  This time its different, though.  AT&T claims they have fiber optic internet @ 12Mb/s (? I thought that was just in Korea?) and their TV is also better than DirecTV without weather issues because it comes through the same line?  And they are going to offer it all to me for half the price of what I'm paying now?!  This can't be true.  Is it?
<bot>: AT&T came to my house, wants to beat out its competitors.  Is AT&T really that good a provider?
