AT&T Data for Detroit seems to have records that don't align with their actual plan offerings #3

Description

@amanda-D3

There are several records in this data set that list the wrong type of technology, for what AT&T actually provides at that plan level.

3 records list as "Internet Basic 1.5", and using fiber
3 records list as "Internet Basic 5", and using fiber

Internet Basic is entirely IPBB (fiber to the neighborhood, but copper to the premises, as a way to work around the signal degradation DSL suffers over distances) or DSL based.

Similarly, there is 1 record listed as "AT&T FIBER INTERNET 300", which lists its technology as "Not Fiber".

Do you know whether these records were provided by AT&T with these values, or is this something that happened in preparing the data set for publication?
