re: AT&T Gigabit Internet

Don't mean to hijack the thread, but I am curious as to how long it takes AT&T to light up the fiber. The subcontractor came through early last month and tore up the yards in the neighborhood running fiber. I would have thought at least one AT&T van would have been seen working the area since then.

I like most people are waiting for fiber so I can ditch Cox.

One other question, I know my neighbor across the street got one of the in-ground boxes dropped in her backyard. On my side of the street, I have the green Cox tube and a neighbor behind me has the green AT&T cube but not the in-ground box. I looked at the neighbors on each side of our houses and they don't have one either. How many houses do one of those boxes support?

Thanks

They can give you a better deal than that trust me. Make sure you tell them you're leaving Cox so they need to make it worth it. I recently did a price check because my Cox was getting expensive. So i looked around and called Cox telling them if they brought my price back down to what i originally signed on for i would stay. I went with the AT&T deal because the arrogant Cox lady told me i just looked in your area and there's no one offering a better deal than we are. She basically told me to frick off i dont think you're going anywhere. So i left. Its pretty good though im satisfied.

People don't need to buy nice houses, cars, clothes, food either. Also, with gigabit you have no data cap. That becomes more important with all the streaming these days.

I don’t think we’ve ever hit the cap and we stream all day and night. Never had any issues. Even the ATT person trying to sell me on 300gigs said it was completely uncessary unless I ran a business off of it.

I got locked in for $70/month for lyfe of the contract for the gig

My hoa had a stupid contract with cox. When the contract finally ran they put the fiber in my neighborhood and offered me a pretty sweet deal. I have zero complaints especially for the price.

No and I had 1gb fiber for a year and did not come close to tapping into that bandwidth on even a remote basis. I can’t wait until we need to though.

had cox with 300 dl and 25 up, 1 terabyte cap...104 a month

got AT&T optic fiber 1000 dl 1000 up that recently got installed in my neighborhood....90 a month unlimited data


i dropped cox(customer for years) like a hot potato...

the AT&T fiber is stand alone,not sharing the connection(throttling caused lag,buffering, frame rate)in your neighborhood like cox was during busy times(evenings)

I've had AT&T for over 2 years and was paying 90 a month. just called and said i was canceling and now i get the same service for 60 a month for a year hopefully that 5g will be close when the year is up.

What neighborhood are you in? Reason I ask is because I am in Azalea Lakes and we just had the fiber lines run a month or so ago.
