English Turn fiber kept going even when the power was out during Ida. If you had a generator, you were good to go.

Not rich, but smart with my funds. Bought at a great time and enjoy the neighborhood very much. Locks are optional in English turn.

Oh I don't mean it deragatory like some do. I strive to be rich but then I had 3 kids in the NOLA area and send them to private school so it made it infinitely tougher.

But good to know about ATT Fiber. I'm hoping it will do the same in my area IF there's a hurricane or bad storm that knocks out power. If not, I will permanently move to TMobile home internet even if it's a little slower.

I have AT&T 5gig fiber. We went without electricity for 4-5 days recently. My internet worked just fine (on generator power to run router).

That private school bill is a bitch, lol. Mine has 4 more years before it turns into a college bill.

Yeah, fiber will work as long as they have power to the switch, which I believe AT&T has done that for all of this boxes.

Don’t hesitate to get fiber. It’s way better than Cox and it isn’t even close.
