AT&T sold me an HTC One A9 and hasnt given me any of the released software updates?

I bought an HTC One A9 new from AT&T around the end of 2016 at the time I was expecting to get frequent updates as they were released because I was buying a new phone. However AT&T totally dropped the ball and almost a month or two after I bought the phone stopped selling HTC phones. I then never recieved updates some of which have been out now for well over a year.Yet AT&T still charges me for the monthly installment plan of a phone that was outdated the a month or two after I bought it. Overall a really bad experience and I want to find a solution to my problem. So when can I expect to get the nougat software update?

Hi @Penguinkid

 

Thanks for reaching out to us! Android Marshmallow is the most current update that we currently have for your device; you can sign up here to be alerted if we push out Oreo to you. We apologize for any inconvenience.

No carrier can provide an update the manufacturer doesn’t send them.

I find that hard to believe considering every other carrier gave out the nougat update for the HTC One a9. The only carrier who hasn't given it out is at&t.

I'm not even talking about Android Oreo I'm referring to Android nougat which every other carrier gave out the update for the HTC One a9 except at&t.

Despite the reply from Support, it’s not correct.   Att provided the Nougat update in May.

Android phones are promised 2 years of OS updates.  Which it has been provided.  Android 5 to 6 and then 7.  If you are using ATT and not getting the Nougat update call tech support.  If you are not still using ATT, you wont get updates.
