3 Dividend Stocks That Pay You More Than AT&T Does

Few dividend stocks come steadier than telecom and content giant AT&T (NYSE: T). Currently paying out a 5.4% yield, AT&T's dividend is nearly triple that of that average S&P 500 company. What's more, its estimated payout ratio of 67% (i.e., what percentage of earnings it returns to shareholders as a dividend) suggests its stipend is easily sustainable. 

Yet, when we spoke to our Foolish investors, they had dividend stocks in mind that they believed could one-up AT&T's hefty yield.
