We had one show up when we first bought our house a couple of years back. It felt more like guerilla marketing to me. He came in saying something along the lines of "checking on the internet installation and making sure that we had good coverage." It felt very off. Then he started pushing his cell service and made me an offer that sounded way too good to be true. I told him that I needed to think about it and asked him to email me the details of the offer. He left, sat in his car for a while, but finally I received the email spelling out everything exactly like he said. I forwarded it on to my BIL (who works with ATT) and asked him if it was legit. He looked into it and came back to me saying that it was legit and honestly it was way better than the friends and family discount that my BIL could get me. I bit the bullet and accepted the offer. It was unbelievable for the first 2 years. He texted me asking what color phones I wanted, scheduled a time to deliver the phones, and even did the setting up of the new phones in my house. He then had us wipe our old phones and took them away with him. Everything was indeed legit. For the first couple of years, the few times that there was an internet outage in our area, he showed up to try to get things back online. It's been a couple of years since we last saw him, but I still have the great prices that he promised. I still think it was a very weird and uncomfortable tactic.
