Motley FoolIf You Invested $1,000 in Verizon in 2014, This Is How Much You Would Have Today
Verizon (NYSE: VZ) is often considered a stable investment for conservative income investors.

Motley FoolDon't Answer the Call on AT&T Stock Until the Company Makes This Move

Despite the 47% cut, the payout has brought consternation instead of relief -- so much so that AT&T might want to eliminate the dividend completely. The focus on the dividend might come as a surprise, since after 35 years of consecutive increases, AT&T slashed the annual dividend from $2.08 per share to $1.11 per share.

Motley FoolAT&T Just Supercharged Its Fiber Business
Telecom giant AT&T (NYSE: T) is best known today as a leading wireless provider in the United States, but it's also investing heavily in fiber internet. To expand it, a provider must start by laying down fiber in neighborhoods and near businesses -- a capital-intensive endeavor -- and then hope that enough customers sign up for the service to make its investments worthwhile. Right now, AT&T's fiber network reaches 19.7 million homes and 3 million business locations, but only a fraction of those potential customers have signed up.
