   AT&T said it is correcting mistakes and will exceed requirements in each state.

   If you live in an area where AT&T has taken government funds in   
   exchange for deploying broadband, there's a chance you won't be able   
   to get the service - even if AT&T initially tells you it's available.   
      
   AT&T's Mississippi division has received over $283 million from the   
   Federal Communications Commission's Connect America Fund since 2015   
   and in exchange is required to extend home-Internet service to over   
   133,000 potential customer locations. As we previously reported, the   
   Mississippi Public Service Commission (PSC) accused AT&T of submitting   
   false coverage data to the FCC program. As evidence, Mississippi said   
   its "investigation found concrete, specific examples that show AT&T   
   Mississippi has reported location addresses... as being served when,   
   in fact, the addresses are without service."
