AT&T offers free HBO to Unlimited Plus users

AT&T is sweetening the deal for those on their Unlimited Plus data plan. You'll get free access to HBO, whether or not you subscribe to U-Verse or DirecTV.

This goes alongside other pre-existing perks, including a $25 per month credit for DirecTV, U-Verse TV, or DirecTV Now.

In case you aren't privy to the terms of this plan, AT&T offers unlimited data, talk and text, including 10GB of mobile hotspot data which is slowed to 128Kbps after you hit the cap (but otherwise unlimited, too). Of course, the unlimited plan itself comes with a certain limitation of speeds, with AT&T slowing you down after 22GB per line. Still, that's a lot of data for one line, and the ability to keep going without any added charges is better than exorbitant overage fees.


The plan comes in at $90 per month for 1 line, while 2 lines get it all for $145 per month, any additional lines adding another $20 to that. Knock off the chunks you get for AT&T's video savings and it turns out to be a pretty decent value. Be sure to explore the plan options right here.

All the major carriers offer similar unlimited plans these days, which means cell providers are going the extra mile to entice customers to use their service. The latest is AT&T, which announced today that it will be offering free HBO to customers on its top plan, the $90-a-month Unlimited Plus service.

Surprisingly, there aren't too many catches beyond that. The deal only applies to the Unlimited Plus plan, which allows users to stream in HD if they choose. Although, like most other plans, AT&T may slow your data after you burn through 22GB in a month.

AT&T is offering the free HBO in three ways: if you already pay for HBO through DirecTV, DirecTV Now, or U-verse, then AT&T will simply make that free. Similarly, DirecTV, DirecTV Now, and U-verse subscribers who also have Unlimited Plus plans will get access to HBO's channels automatically if they don't already have them, while customers who don't use any of AT&T's video services will be able to access HBO through either DirecTV Now or HBO Go.

It's worth noting that AT&T is currently in the process of acquiring Time Warner — which, among other things, is the parent company of HBO — although this newest offer is taking place before the deal has closed. AT&T also recently began to include free HBO service for subscribers to the most expensive channel tiers on DirecTV Now last month in a similar effort to attract customers to the video service.

Blockchain

  Blockchain is a decentralized digital ledger technology that enables secure and transparent record keeping. It is often used to facilitate transactions, such as financial transactions or the transfer of digital assets.   A blockchain is essentially a digital ledger of transactions that is duplicated and distributed across the entire network of computer systems on the blockchain. Each block in the chain contains a number of transactions and a reference to the previous block, forming a chain of blocks. This creates a permanent, unchangeable record of all transactions that is stored across the entire network. The most well-known application of blockchain technology is Bitcoin, a decentralized digital currency. However, blockchain can be used for a wide variety of other applications as well, such as: Smart contracts: Blockchain can be used to execute and enforce the negotiation or performance of a contract automatically.
