Connection question for people with ATT Gigafiber
Posted on 6/1/17 at 3:37 pm

How does the connection run from the wall to the modem? I don't have a phone jack in the house, so I'm wondering if I can still receive the service.

I believe we have an actual ATT installer on the tech board that can better answer. I'd assume that a CAT6 cable is run directly from the demarc where the fiber enters your home to the modem.

Ok so if this is the case, we'd have to run a cat6 where my coaxial cable for my cox internet is running. That would kinda suck.

I wish I could get this. The best ATT can offer is 30mbps and we rarely get over 18. I'm sure the Att store less than a mile from my house isn't having this issue. frickers.

In most cases we run the fiber directly to where the modem is being placed. From the slack NID on the side of your house a fiber homerun is ran to the location of your choosing. Sometimes that is not possible do to fire stops in the walls or house configurations that make it impossible to get a line where you want it.
In those cases I've run fiber to an accessible location that has a power outlet and possibly a cat 5 line co-located so I can place the ONT there and then feed the signal via cat 5 to the modem in the original location that was desired.

Thanks, do you guys ever use existing cabling to pull the fiber through a wall or is that not possible.

Your gonna love the speed :-).

We can use existing cabling to pull the fiber through but I try not to do that unless there is no other choice or if the customer wants the existing cabling removed. I like to leave things in place so the customer has their existing wiring intact. You never know when you are going to need a coax or cat5 feed and ripping it out or using it to pull new wiring through just complicates things further down the road.

What's the average you see on a real world speed test? Say a download of a large file from download.com?

So if I'm downloading or uploading from one of my servers in our Data-center, I see above 800mbps. Some of that is because of overhead on the encryption I'm assuming. If I do a speedtest to an ATT server I get 960+ up and down.
When doing a test to inside our data center, it's usually an Iso or vhd so large files.
Also if I download something from usenet, 900+

That's pretty sweet. I asked because I am strongly contemplating switching over myself.

I absolutely love it. If you torrent a lot you may have issues with the NAT table limitations, but I don't so no big deal for me.

Does the ATT transducer come with a battery back up in case of power outage? I had a telephone co-op FTTH (Fiber to the Home) system with a previous system and it had a battery backup.

The ONT on the outside of my house has a battery backup, but the modem wifi router inside my house does not.

I download the diablo 3 game which is 16 gigs in about 3 1/2 minutes.
Posted on 6/2/17 at 6:03 pm to Styxion
Connecting with my iPhone the speed test is only 98 megs up and 96 down.
