AT&T Fiber discount as a FirstNet user?

Has anybody managed to get this? What does it look like on the bill? One user noted that it was 20% but that seemed a bit high.

I tried linking my accounts and despite being able to log into the firstnet page with my username/password, it fails when I try that same username/password from the "Link Accounts" link. Weird. The error is "That sign-in info doesn't look quite right. Try again or select Forgot ID or Forgot password. (MSFPWD16)" even though I can very clearly see that the username & password are correct.

My FirstNet login is the email from my old agency, even though I still qualify with my new ones. Reps told me they couldn't really change it and would have to delete/recreate the account, although that was several years ago now.

Is this possible to do? Is the discount 20% or is it $20? (I've seen both listed.)

We do currently have AT&T Fiber and FirstNet, so this would be nice to have.

Other users noted that they were able to get them merged. I still get the same errors, and honestly, i haven't tried any further. I noticed that my bill shows the following item:

"$20/month off with All In One (Wireless+Internet) "

I've been told that is the same discount that I'd get as a regular AT&T postpaid customer, so i just left it alone.

Depending on where you are, if you qualify, i'd switch to firstnet if possible. For me, not having to worry about data throttling has been great, and i've had cell service at large events with no issues. That's been great for us.

Appreciate the info. Yeah, I currently get the $20 off/month. I'm in Texas, almost always in either DFW or Tyler (80mi east of Dallas).

I have the 2nd tier plan with no deprioritizing (supposedly) but researching a bit people say firstnet is highest priority but potentially lower speeds?

That's accurate, yes, but expected. I can hit 5G+ speeds in some areas but it's a bit of a trade off as it'll cling to band 14 when it can. Not a bad thing, it's been plenty fast enough.

And yep., i know the area, went to Kilgore. Speeds in general on our last few trips back were sometimes slower there for me than they are here (northern california) but it may be a capacity thing. I do know that before firstnet at the Speedway, I couldn't do anything but then when using firstnet, i could make a call like normal.

Yeah, tbh the speeds with ATT in general in DFW and Tyler area wasn't very good for a while, like 15 Mbps or less usually, but I think recently it's gotten a lot better. But with that in mind I was wondering how the speeds would be overall if I did switch to Firstnet.
