The agent successfully assembled a comprehensive explanation of AT&T's services, pricing, and competitive positioning, but had to work around an opaque website by relying heavily on third-party sources and web searches rather than AT&T's own pages. Direct fetches of att.com returned JavaScript-heavy HTML with minimal extractable content, forcing the agent to source pricing details, plan comparisons, and service overviews from external sites (CableTV.com, BroadbandNow, Android Headlines, etc.). The site itself proved difficult to navigate programmatically, with at least one broken URL (att.com/internet/plans → 404) and no clear, machine-readable documentation of offerings.

• ›Web search steps [7, 8, 13, 14, 16] were the only content-bearing sources; they returned third-party aggregator and news sites that clearly stated pricing tiers, plan names, speeds, and competitive comparisons. Direct AT&T fetches [1, 3, 4, 5, 10] returned only truncated HTML boilerplate with no usable content.
• ›AT&T's website structure actively obscured pricing: wireless plans page [10] was fetched but returned no extractable data; internet plans page [11] broke with a 404. The agent had to infer plan details from external sources like cabletv.com and broadbandnow.com, which had fresher, clearer information than att.com itself.
• ›The site's agent-readiness is poor for discovery: no structured data (schema.org), no plain-text pricing tables, heavy JavaScript dependency, and broken internal navigation make it impossible for an agent to autonomously extract core information. The agent also noted that DIRECTV bundling was discontinued but this fact was not evident from AT&T's own pages—it had to be inferred from the absence of results and third-party reports.
• ›Business vs. consumer segmentation is fragmented: AT&T Business operates on a separate domain (business.att.com) with different styling and unclear service overlap, adding friction to understanding the full product suite. Regional availability (Fiber vs. 5G Internet Air) is location-dependent but not discoverable from static pages.
