re: Cox Internet Gigablast vs. AT&T Fiber Internet 1000

Check the coverage maps for T-Mobile very carefully. You may get coverage, but not in the house or in a vehicle (I'm not kidding.)
Fiber is binary; it works or it doesn't. It doesn't have issues the way Coax does, troubleshooting is easier with fiber. I've had fiber for 7 out of 9 years I've lived in current house, and AT&T fiber has gone down twice, for a total of 72 hours. Comcast (the Houston version of Cox) went down for multiple hours about once every six weeks, and was overpriced. As long as you have power to your endpoint (the DMARC where the fiber "terminates" in your house) and your switches/routers, fiber will stay up.

Interesting. I run a BGW320 in "ip passthrough" mode and dont have any of those issues.
It's the limited tcp/ip functionality of their device's controller that got it sent back. I need the ability to run more than one ssh instance per host in my house and the controller on that device does not allow that.
IP passthrough is just NAT for hardware to mirror the host IP to the other device so the functionality of the network connection is ensured.
My main issue had nothing to do with that.

You could always try the ONT stick bypass. DSLreports.com has some guides on the at&t forum.

Yea, I'm trying the TMobile Home internet 5G service out currently. I have the little "node" pointed towards my closest TMobile tower. I'm getting about 300down / 30 up consistently. It's nothing amazing compared to my ATT Fiber that I also have, however, I do not like ATT AND Tmobile is about 30-50$ cheaper a month if I go to TMobile for cell service. Currently I have Mint, so it's the same network.
What I'm really curious about though is in bad storms or post hurricane. Post Ida, my ATT line got knocked down and wasnt restored for close to 2 months. Would 1 major benefit of running a 5G internet be that it would be back almost instantly after power was restored to the tower?

Those towers should still operate in a power outage. They usually have some backup power for a while.

Yea, and that's a major selling point, for me. I like ATT Fiber but not for 80$ a month. I'm so tempted to just keep TMobile 5G. Sure, my pings are a bit worse when the family games, but I don't really care that much.
Anyone ever run a 5G antenna to one of these gateways? I'm tempted to super charge this summabitch.
