AT&T is speeding up its plan to phase out long-standing services that customers keep canceling as demand for newer alternatives grows.
Several of these alternatives have seen strong customer growth in the third quarter of this year. According to AT&T's latest earnings report, the carrier attracted 379,000 postpaid phone customers during the quarter.
It also added 416,000 AT&T Fiber customers, up 44.4% year over year, and 280,000 new Internet Air (its fixed wireless internet service) customers, a 3.7% increase from the same period in 2025.
On an earnings call on Oct. 21, AT&T CEO John Stankey said that the company has been focused on "removing friction for consumers by constructing plans built around simplicity, transparent value, and convergence."

Sandra Bullock's journey to becoming one of Hollywood's most recognizable stars began far from the blockbuster action movies that eventually made her famous. Growing up with an opera singer mother, she was introduced to performance at an early age and studied music, ballet and other forms of movement. Acting eventually became her focus, but major success did not arrive immediately. Bullock spent years building experience before finding the role that transformed her career. That gradual rise helped shape a performer known for moving comfortably between action, comedy, romance and drama.
Bullock began appearing professionally during the late 1980s, taking smaller roles as she worked toward greater opportunities. Her breakthrough finally arrived with Speed in 1994. Starring alongside Keanu Reeves, she played Annie Porter, a passenger forced to take control of a Los Angeles bus rigged to explode if its speed dropped below a dangerous threshold. The movie combined large scale action with humor and chemistry between its leads, turning Bullock into an international star.
The production also demanded considerable physical commitment. Bullock later described the genuine fear she experienced while filming scenes aboard the speeding bus. Although she was not actually controlling the vehicle during the most dangerous sequences, being positioned at the front made the action feel very real. That sense of physical vulnerability contributed to the urgency of her performance. She returned to the franchise for Speed 2: Cruise Control in 1997, this time facing danger aboard a runaway cruise ship.
Bullock was already looking beyond acting alone. In the 1990s, she established Fortis Films, giving her greater involvement in developing and producing projects. That experience became especially important with Miss Congeniality, the 2000 action comedy in which she played FBI agent Gracie Hart. Bullock also served as a producer, helping shape a movie that combined physical comedy, crime and an unconventional transformation story.
Her career continued to expand across genres. Films such as While You Were Sleeping, The Proposal and Gravity demonstrated her ability to move between romantic comedy and intense drama. One of her most significant dramatic successes came with The Blind Side in 2009. Her performance as Leigh Anne Tuohy earned Bullock the Academy Award for Best Actress, adding another dimension to a career already **** ociated with major commercial films.

For nearly two minutes, one of the pilots of the Amazon cargo plane that careened off a Miami runway and killed five people repeatedly warned his counterpart they were going too fast as they approached for landing and after touchdown, according to flight information released Wednesday.
A summary of ******* pit voice recordings compiled by the National Transportation Safety Board said the fellow pilot never gave "a consistent verbal response" to the warnings. The plane touched down awkwardly, briefly attempted to take off and then smashed into a van carrying the five victims.
The Amazon plane came in fast on Sunday afternoon and then barreled roughly 1,300 feet (396 meters) past the end of the runway and smashed into a van carrying workers at a plane cleaning company before hitting a compact SUV as it slid across a public road before catching fire.
All five people who died were in the van. Five others were hurt, including two who remained in critical condition on Tuesday. The two pilots survived and were interviewed Wednesday by investigators.
At the point when the pilot first called out the plane was speeding, former FAA official Mike O'Donnell said the crew could have done a number of things to slow it down, including extending the spoilers, cutting the throttles and lowering the landing gear. Or the pilots could have just aborted the landing at that point and circled to try again.

McLaren and Red Bull have won their appeals against the result of the Monaco Grand Prix after a controversy over multiple incorrect pit-lane speeding penalties.
The victory means Alpine's Pierre Gasly loses the podium he was awarded after an appeal by his French team that overturned two five-second penalties.
Gasly, who finished third on the road, is dropped back to the seventh place he received in the official results.
Alpine, unlike the other teams involved, did not serve the penalties in the race because they believed they had been applied incorrectly.
Red Bull's Isack Hadjar is returned to third place and McLaren's Oscar Piastri fourth, with Racing Bulls' Liam Lawson and Arvid Lindblad moving up to fifth and sixth.

Remember when every other day featured some glowing review of rookie safety Caleb Downs and his immediate impact? That receded a bit over the past few weeks as he mostly watched preseason games from the sidelines, but that hasn't adjusted immense expectations, and now they can ramp up again on the eve of the regular season.
Downs isn't the only one raising expectations, as Quinnen Williams said some things that will get Cowboys fans fired up. Presumably, Hunter Luepke is fired up to own a piece of Von Miller's chicken farm, and former Cowboys Shiyazh Pete is still firing up people he speaks to.

Alpine's Pierre Gasly has lost his podium at the Formula One Monaco Grand Prix after McLaren won their appeal against the result, motorsports ruling body FIA said in a statement on Friday.
Gasly was demoted from third to seventh after the race on June 7 due to two separate five-second time penalties for speeding in the pit lane.
However, his position was restored after Alpine requested a right of review.
McLaren the appealed against that decision and the FIA's International Court of Appeal reinstated Gasly's penalty.
That means the driver dropped back to seventh place and Red Bull's Isack Hadjar returned to third place. McLaren's Oscar Piastri has moved up to fourth. Kimi Antonelli of Mercedes won the race.

Good morning. It’s been eight months since Nvidia announced its $20 billion deal with chip upstart Groq, which is focused on speeding up the use of AI models after they have been trained. The commercialization of that deal has started, and its success may tell us a lot about the extent to which AI agents in the enterprise live up to expectations.

Indycar takes to the streets around Washington, DC. (Photo by Chris Graythen/Getty Images)
First things first. I am a car enthusiast, a motor racing fan and an active race competitor, having competed in the Nurburgring 24-hours in Germany and countless other domestic races in ****** an over the last 25 years. I've also been to watch numerous F1 races, the 24-Hours of Le Mans, the Indy 500, World Rally Championship events in the middle of nowhere, and even street F1 races from Monaco to Melbourne. So yes, I love cars and racing. But what President Trump did last weekend by staging his Freedom 250 IndyCar Grand Prix race in Washington DC was, well, let's just call it excessive, disruptive, inappropriate and tone-deaf.
Over the weekend, the distinct, ear-splitting whine of 2.2-liter twin-turbocharged V6 engines echoed off the marble facades of federal buildings as IndyCar made its highly controversial debut on the streets of the nation's capital.
The event, billed as the "Washington Grand Prix," saw open-wheel Indy race cars speeding at over 150 mph down Pennsylvania Avenue, transforming the historic corridor between the U.S. Capitol and the White House into a 1.7-mile long temporary, high-octane racetrack. The narrow, angular cars blasted past the US Capitol, made sharp turns around the National Archives, and pass the Smithsonian Air and ****** e Museum for a total of 147 laps, a number which equals a race distance of 250-miles. Yes, you guessed it. That 250 number had to relate to the nation's 250th anniversary celebration.

On August 7, Airbnb, Inc. (NASDAQ:ABNB) shares surged to a more than four-year high after the company raised its full-year revenue forecast. The firm gave artificial intelligence credit for cutting costs and speeding up how fast it ships new features.
Its competitor Booking Holdings Inc. (NASDAQ:BKNG) had a rougher time delivering good news: On August 4, the firm beat second-quarter estimates but trimmed its full-year gross bookings forecast. It blamed ongoing fallout from the Middle East conflict on international travel.
Airbnb now expects 2026 revenue to grow at least a mid-teens percentage, up from its earlier low- to mid-teens call, after posting second-quarter revenue of $3.61 billion, up 17% and ahead of the $3.57 billion Wall Street wanted. CEO Brian Chesky didn't hold back, calling AI the best thing to ever happen to Airbnb and pointing to a 16% drop in customer support costs per booking as proof.
Booking Holdings Inc. (NASDAQ:BKNG) made a similar case for its own AI investments. CFO Ewout Steenbergen said the company is already seeing a positive return. Argus Research backed that up by raising its price target to $245 from $210 on August 10. Yet Booking still cut its full-year bookings outlook to high-single-digit growth from a prior high-single- to low-double-digit range. The firm warned that reduced Middle East travel and pricier airfares will stick around through the third quarter.
If AI is paying off at both companies, why did only one of them feel good enough to raise its outlook?

Former Manchester United footballer Paul Scholes has been handed a six-month road ban after he racked up two driving convictions in the **** e of two days.
The 51-year-old was caught speeding in a Range Rover on the evening of 3 March while on a late-night drive through Cleckheaton in West Yorkshire.
In the second case, Scholes's Mercedes broke the speed limit on Mossley Road near Ashton-under-Lyne, Greater Manchester, on the morning of 14 November last year.
On 12 August at Bradford Magistrates' Court, he was handed a six-month driving ban for the first offence, along with fines. The next day at Manchester Magistrates' Court he received six penalty points on his licence, and further fines.
Fines, costs, and court fees for the criminal cases totalled £1,472.

Drivers caught speeding, using illegal number plates and creating excessive noise have been targeted in a police road safety operation.
During roadside checks in Plymouth on 6 August, Devon and Cornwall Police identified seven vehicles with illegal number plates. Two drivers were caught speeding on West Hoe Road, while six were found exceeding the limit on Millbay Road and three on Durnford Street.
Seven motorcyclists had bikes fitted with illegal exhausts that created excessive noise. The riders have been given a week to fit legal exhaust systems and pass a further MoT test, officers said.
The action followed concerns from residents about antisocial driving, said police.
Police said several vehicles failed to stop when signalled by officers.

Rashee Rice is trying to put his recent jail sentence behind him.
The Kansas City Chiefs wide receiver addressed his recent 30-day jail sentence that he served earlier this summer after a probation violation for the first time on Tuesday while at the team's training camp.
"It was a learning experience and a reality check," Rice said, via ESPN's Nate Taylor. "Don't focus on the past. Focus on what's going on now. I'm doing [well] mentally."

Rice was on probation after his involvement in a multi-vehicle crash back in 2024. He was reportedly driving a speeding Lamborghini that caused the crash, and he eventually pleaded guilty to a pair of felonies. Rice then served a six-game suspension as a result.

Newly released footage of an officer tackling an 18-year-old Black woman to the ground and punching her in the head after a traffic stop in Arkansas is causing anger and demands for a use-of-force investigation.
Alisa Hackett, of Osceola, Arkansas, was pulled over on State Highway 18 near Manila at about 10:45 p.m. on Aug. 1 after she was seen driving 71 mph in a 60-mph zone with the vehicle's hazard lights on, according to an Arkansas State Police report of the incident.
When she was pulled over, Hackett told state trooper Moisses Arellano she was rushing home because her car's window had broken, according to the police report.
Arellano noted that Hackett was not wearing her seat belt, had her license plate covered and had a cold bottle of liquor in the front seat, according to the police report. In the dashcam footage, Arellano can be heard saying, "Why do you have a ******* o's bottle, you're not even 21?" Later in the footage, Arellano acknowledges the bottle was sealed.
Arellano described Hackett as "being difficult" when he issued her citations, according to the report. He then called another trooper who said Hackett had been pulled over for speeding "a few days earlier" and had an open alcohol container in her vehicle, but was let go with a warning.

On August 4, SentinelOne (NYSE:S) expanded its work with Amazon Web Services, folding its AI security tools into a single governance layer for Amazon Bedrock. The news arrives as the cybersecurity company's revenue growth is speeding up and its losses are shrinking, even as two of its top executives cashed out stock in the same stretch.
The new integration ties SentinelOne's Prompt Security, Singularity Cloud Security, and Singularity AI SIEM into Amazon Bedrock AgentCore, giving security teams one dashboard to watch, enforce, and fix AI risk. It builds on a narrower integration from June 2026 that put runtime guardrails at the Bedrock AgentCore gateway. This time the scope is bigger: usage visibility, policy enforcement across AWS and other clouds, threat detection, and automated fixes for misconfigured or noncompliant AI code. SentinelOne's tools are already sold through AWS Marketplace, and the company is targeting AWS re:Invent 2026 for the full governance layer's general release.
That product push lines up with a business that is growing faster, not slower. Fiscal first quarter revenue rose 21% year over year to $277 million, and SentinelOne guided for $289 million to $291 million in the following quarter, up from $242 million a year earlier. Scotiabank upgraded the stock from sector perform to sector outperform, pointing to that sales growth alongside a cybersecurity market that matters more as AI agents grow capable enough to probe for weaknesses. Recent cyberattacks on water systems across 12 US states have only sharpened that case. The losses are also narrowing. Operating loss fell to $79.7 million from $87.5 million a year prior, and net loss dropped to $76.2 million from $208.2 million, a sign the company is getting its cost base under control while it scales.
SentinelOne is still not profitable on a GAAP basis, and that gap has not closed, only narrowed. Two executives sold stock during the run described above. CFO Sonalee Parekh sold 12,987 shares on July 27, 2026, for about $237,013, and CEO Tomer Weingarten sold 53,811 shares on August 6, for roughly $1.1 million. Both sales were mandatory sell-to-cover trades tied to vesting restricted stock units, not open-market bets against the company, and each executive kept a large stake afterward, Parekh with 964,281 shares and Weingarten with 1,840,586. Still, the timing stands out. Parekh's sale came less than two weeks after shares touched a 52-week high of $20.71 on July 15, and Weingarten's came the day before shares set a fresh high of $21.51 on August 7. The AI governance layer itself is not fully available yet either, with general availability pegged to a trade show months away, leaving execution risk on the table.

LOS ANGELES (AP) — Memphis Grizzlies forward Brandon Clarke died in May from the effects of heroin and cocaine, authorities said Friday.
The Los Angeles County Department of Medical Examiner said the 29-year-old basketball player's death was accidental.

FC Barcelona has made a major statement in the transfer market. Hansi Flick has decided to personally take charge of the negotiations to secure the signing of Rodri Hernández, star of Manchester City and a key target for the Barça board.
As journalist Carlos Monfort revealed in SPORT, the German coach held a phone conversation with the Spanish midfielder in recent hours. During the call, Flick conveyed the club's genuine interest and outlined the key role he would play in his project.
This strong move confirms the Blaugrana side's definitive entry into the race for the Madrid-born holding midfielder. The manager's direct involvement is aimed at speeding up a strategic operation to strengthen Barça's midfield ahead of the challenges to come.
The phone contact also comes at a crucial moment. It was recently leaked that Barcelona has managed to gain the upper hand and move into pole position to complete his signing, overtaking Real Madrid in the race.
Despite the financial complexity and Rodri's importance at Manchester City, optimism reigns within the Catalan club. The ambitious sporting proposal explained by Flick could be decisive in tipping the balance in favor of Camp Nou.

If you aren't using AI just yet, you likely will be soon in some capacity. Whether it be in daily life or on your day job, there's no stopping the train that's already left the station and speeding down the track. While some of the things AI can help you with can be useful for daily routines, others can be used for fun. But which AI model is the best when it comes to predicting the outcomes of college football games?
We decided to pit two AI models against each other when predicting the Ohio State football schedule for 2026, and you can bet that we'll keep track and come back to what actually occurred during the game played on the field and off of predictive AI models. For this particular exercise, we used Google's Gemini and Claude. There are some differences, and it's interesting to see what each says about the game summaries when it comes to games against the likes of Texas, Indiana, Iowa, Oregon, Nebraska, and Michigan.
Here's how things panned out when asking these AI models to predict the Ohio State football schedule for 2026.
Location | Ohio Stadium (Columbus, Ohio)
What Gemini Says | The Buckeyes open the season at home with an absolute fireworks display. The offense clicks immediately, airing it out early before letting the depth chart get valuable reps in the second half. Final Score: Ohio State 52, Ball State 7

Former F1 designer and Jordan technical director Gary Anderson has urged Lewis Hamilton to own up to his recent mistakes instead of pointing the finger at others.
Over the past few race weekends, the seven-time world champion has picked up several penalties from the stewards, including two in Hungary that partly compromised his final result.
The first came in qualifying, when he was handed a three-place grid penalty for impeding Oscar Piastri. Having originally qualified second, it cost him the chance to challenge Lando Norris off the line at the start. The second came during the race, when a five-second penalty for speeding in the pit lane dropped him behind his teammate in the final classification.
In his latest column for The Telegraph, Anderson questioned Hamilton's recent performances, admitting he found it surprising that a driver of his experience had been making so many mistakes. He suggested the errors could either be the result of an unfortunate run of form or point to a more significant underlying issue.
"I have to say that I am surprised that, with all his experience, Hamilton is making these mistakes. It is difficult to say why exactly he is making them. Sometimes it is just a run of bad luck and the driver wonders why they are happening. Other times there is something deeper going on."

On Monday, one day before the Chargers veterans reported to training camp in El Segundo, it was reported that the team had released veteran offensive lineman Ben Cleveland.
In February of 2025, Cleveland was arrested and cited for DUI in his home state of Georgia. He plead guilty to the charge on November 4th and was ultimately suspended for three games by the Ravens. Cleveland was given a one-year probation on his driver's license. On July 16th, just 12 days before the start of camp, Cleveland was picked up for speeding which violates that probation.
Due to the repeated off-field issues, it looks like the Chargers finally decided keeping Cleveland around wasn't worth the negative publicity. And to be fair, Cleveland was no longer a good fit with the Chargers after the firing of offensive coordinator Greg Roman.
Now, the Chargers can focus on their wealth of young offensive lineman without needing worry about the availability of a fringe roster player.

A "reckless" young driver who killed two people in a crash while speeding has had her prison sentence increased at the Court of Appeal.
Attorney General Ellie Reeves KC referred the case of Liberty Mitchell to the court under the Unduly Lenient Sentence scheme, and it was increased from six years and eight months to nine years and three months.
Taxi driver Octavian Codreanu died at the scene and passenger Moyra Whelan died in hospital after the crash on the B4425 in Gloucestershire in December 2022.
Mitchell, 21, who passed her driving test three weeks before the crash, had admitted two counts of causing death by dangerous driving and causing death by driving while uninsured.

Socceroos World Cup star Cristian Volpato has allegedly tested positive for cocaine after police twice stopped him for speeding in Sydney on the same night.
The 22-year-old Australia midfielder was stopped in a BMW Coupe on the Anzac Bridge at 11:05pm local time on Thursday night after he was caught travelling between 86-94km/h in a 60km/h zone, police said.
He was subjected to a roadside breath test, which returned a negative result.
However, Volpato allegedly returned a positive result for cocaine when he was stopped two hours later for travelling at 109km/h in the same 60km/h zone.
New South Wales state police said Volpato was issued an infringement notice for excess speed, while his international driver's licence was suspended for six months - which means he cannot drive in New South Wales.

Scotland goalkeeper Angus Gunn suffered a nightmare debut for San Jose Earthquakes as they slumped to a 4-0 defeat at home to Orlando City in their first match following Major League Soccer's break for the World Cup.
It was the 30-year-old's first game since his national side failed to qualify for the knockout stages following a 3-0 loss to Brazil in their final group game - and his first club game since coming on as a substitute in Nottingham Forest's 1-1 Premier League draw with Crystal Palace in February.
But, in truth, Gunn could take little blame for any of the goals while also producing a couple of saves that prevented a more painful loss for Bruce Arena's hosts.

Among the three Texas A&M players who accompanied third-year coach Mike Elko to SEC Media Days this week, senior linebacker Daymion Sanford spoke at length about his recovery after suffering a lower-body injury during the Maroon & White Game that required surgery over three months ago.
Alongside redshirt junior quarterback Marcel Reed and senior safety Marcus Ratcliffe, Sanford was not wearing a walking boot or any exterior protection, which, on the surface, looked like a great sign that the star defender has made significant progress and could return to the lineup earlier than previously expected.
However, when asked about a potential return date, Mike Elko remains unsure, while Sanford sounded much more optimistic, telling On3's Carter Karels that Texas A&M's training staff and doctors have aided in speeding up his recovery, which could result in returning to the field before the second half of the 2026 season.
"It's been going along good," he told Karels. "I've been working with the training staff; we've got the best training staff and doctors in the country, and they've been doing a lot with me. So I've been doing pretty good."
Last season, Sanford exploded on the scene after senior linebacker Scooby Williams dealt with injury issues, ranking fourth on the team in tackles with 57, paired with 3.5 sacks, an interception, three pass deflections, and two forced fumbles. A 2026 team captain, the Katy (TX) native is widely considered one of the best and most important players on the roster, while his mental toughness has been vital in getting through this latest hurdle.

"Chrisley Knows Best" star Lindsie Chrisley has broken her silence on her May 2026 DUI arrest on a new episode of her "Coffee Convos" podcast.
The reality star, 36, made headlines earlier this year after she was arrested and charged with driving under the influence, attempting to evade police, reckless driving, and a slew of other charges while driving her car in Georgia.
According to Lindsie Chrisley, she's dealt with mental health struggles over the last year, adding that it's caused many problems in her personal life.
Speaking with MTV veteran Kailyn Lowry on their shared podcast, Lindsie said she takes her ongoing legal woes very seriously. She said that she hasn't been able to comment publicly because she's stayed off social media and deleted all the apps from her phone. "If people are sending me messages, I'm not getting them," she said.
According to TMZ, Lindsie was arrested and booked in jail in Georgia in May 2026 before bonding out the next day. She told the publication that she was pulled over for speeding past a car on a two-lane road after trying to avoid being hit by another car that swerved to avoid an animal.

Chase Briscoe didn't wreck anybody to make his point this week. He just went on a podcast and said the thing every driver in the Cup Series garage already knows but almost ****** ody puts on the record: NASCAR's disciplinary process has a don't-ask-don't-tell problem, and it keeps turning the sport's biggest stars into bad actors every time a fresh wreck gets reviewed.
The remarks came on the Rubbin' is Racing podcast, days after NASCAR closed the books on two separate Chicagoland Speedway incidents without issuing a single penalty. Briscoe's issue isn't that NASCAR lets drivers settle scores on the racetrack - he's fine with that part. His problem is what happens after the checkered flag, when a driver who obviously wrecked somebody on purpose has to stand in front of reporters and call it a racing incident, because that's the price of staying out of the penalty report. "Everybody knows you're lying about it," Briscoe said, describing the bind NASCAR's own process puts drivers in.
He's not wrong about the bind. He's also sitting on more supporting evidence than he probably realized, because NASCAR has spent this entire season demonstrating, in exhaustive public detail, what actually earns a driver a fine, and intent alone has never been enough.
Rewind to Texas Motor Speedway in early May, before any of the Chicagoland drama existed. Ryan Preece got frustrated with Ty Gibbs, announced his intentions over his own team radio, and turned Gibbs into the outside wall about half a lap later. NASCAR's response was swift and public: a $50,000 fine and a 25-point penalty, among the stiffest behavioral penalties handed out all year. NASCAR's vice president of racing communications walked through the reasoning himself: officials reviewed the team radio, the in-car video and the car's SMT telemetry data, and the combination of Preece stating his intentions and then following through on them was enough to cross into what the rulebook labels actions detrimental to stock car racing. RFK Racing appealed. The National Motorsports Appeals Panel upheld the penalty in late May, and Preece was left admitting it no longer mattered what he thought, the fine and the points were staying gone.
This wasn't Briscoe's first brush with NASCAR's points ledger this year either. His own speeding penalty back in March already put a dent in his playoff cushion, which makes his willingness to needle NASCAR's officiating now feel less like a driver picking a random fight and more like someone who has personally paid the price of the system he's describing.

A Nolle Prosequi was entered in the Superior Court of Glynn County on Monday July 6.
Riddle, a transfer from East Carolina, had been charged by Glynn County police with possession of marijuana of more than one ounce, possession of a schedule 1 controlled substance and misdemeanor speeding.
The Kingsland, Ga., native was alleged to have driven a Dodge Durango 90 miles per hour in 70 mile per hour zone on I-95 South.
When Riddle was stopped, the police report said an "overwhelming odor of marijuana," could be smelled from inside the vehicle.
