Couldn't you just delete the AT&T WiFi data from your phone so it never tries connecting?

If there was an option not to connect to AT&T wifi hotspots I couldn't find it. Unlike most wireless routers it wouldn't only automatically connect to ones I've used before, it would eagerly connect to any AT&T hotspot.

There is no way to remove it via the UI. You sadly need a rooted phone to remove it.

I thought so at first too, but here it is on my AT&T branded Moto X: http://bitraf.no/~mortehu/skrot/attwifi.png
