You could maybe transfer them to another WISP but I don’t see how you “sell” 
them to AT&T.  If you really can’t be remotely competitive with AT&T’s 
offering, the best thing you can do is give sufficient advance notice to allow 
the customers to switch gracefully.

 

What keeps you from rebuilding with new equipment for better service?  If you 
could do that, maybe refocus on a segment of the local market that AT&T will 
not serve well.  I find that business customers often hate dealing with the big 
phone companies, who tend to offer a one-size-fits-all solution generally 
intended for residential.  If you are able to  offer reliable service, static 
IPs, onsite VoIP PBX, networking support, and work with their 
computer/networking guys, you may be able to hold on to your business customers 
or even grow in that segment.  Realizing they will probably have cellphones 
from one of the big carriers.  Not necessarily AT&T.

I don't think there is any way to do that other than to become a reseller or 
find someone who is and sell them to them.

Has anyone "sold" customers to AT&T?  They're providing wireless service on top 
of a portion of my network, and the local municipality isn't cooperating with 
installing any towers.  I can't really extend in to the area, or rebuild with 
new equipment for better service.

 

I don't just want to turn these customers off if there's some value to flipping 
them to AT&T.
