Hello everyone! I just uploaded a followup video to this video, How is AT&T Fiber in 2024, Check it out! kzread.info/dash/bejne/n6N_y8GRoLeukrQ.htmlsi=UvVEeG9FAF0YfH_V

Informative, concise, no filler, no absurd intro music/graphics, hopefully more youtubers follow your approach

Moving to GA tomorrow. Have the AT&T tech suppose to come out right after, can't wait

Thank you @How. My ATT Fiber outside fiber optic cable system uses above ground fiber optic cables attached to the utility poles behind my house. However, it should be better than Spectrum... I mentioned this because not all fiber optic cables are burried. Only newer Titusville Florida neighborhoods have buried fiber optic cables.

I can see that, especially in older neighborhoods. And yes fiber is Soo much better than AT&T

I got this install to my home I just purchased. I got the same modem.

How deep did they dig down when burying the cable ? Is it in danger of lawn maintenance, and did they tag it so it could be detected in case of future ground work such as as pv array or pool service

No slack nid, need fiber jumper or IW going into your house. Now when it’s cut another techs going to have to re do it all

Thanks for the video! Which gateway did they provide for your Internet 1000 (1 Gig)? TIA for your reply.

had att fiber and canceled it a few months back to get spectrum . BIG mistake. spectrum is TRASH. like coax cable just can not compare to FIBER. reordering att fiber and getting 2 GIG, do I need that much speed? prob not but its way better and cheaper than spectrums "1 Gig" service. cant wait to get it back.

No consumer-level computer or other network device has a fiber port. Unless things have changed, AT&T runs fiber to your house. They install an ONT (optical network terminal) somewhere on the side of your house or a garage. This ONT is where the fiber enters the house. From the ONT, they run an ethernet cable from the ONT to your AT&T gateway. That gateway in turn gives you wifi and lets you plug in your network devices to the router with an ethernet cable.

if that black cable was cut because it is not buried deep enough, does att have to replace the whole black cable or they can just slice it and replace part of it?

@matthewgregory7583

A new cable is ran. A splice would get damaged by the elements the moment the technician leaves due the fibre being exposed once the protective sheathing is stripped. Splices are only done at termination points such as the slack nid, fibre jack or terminal.

Did this for 6 years. A clean, good working install. However an incorrect one. Multiple steps skipped, including the NID test point on the outside of your house. Your supposed to have a box covering everything there as a way of keeping extra slack and a test point for future techs. Good thing a manager didn’t come out and see that, he most likely would’ve had to redo everything.

@@how2374 It isn't. AT&T Canada is now called Allstream. In Ontario, Canada and I'm assuming most if not all of Canada, you would never be allowed to leave a wire on the ground like that. This is the second video I have seen with this practice. The first one was near or in NY. It would have gone to the light post and hung to the eaves trough and then down to the entry point. A second fiber would have been buried, connected and tested before the temporary one was removed. Nobody would come and bury it fast enough to be safe. Fast enough would have to be that day or the next morning. You cannot dig without locates.

He did not do your installation correctly. No slack nid. No fiber iw was used. No service loop just goes straight in. SMH. The next tech gona be pissed when there is a repair. Fiber needs to be inside slack nid and broken down with slack so the tech tech doesn’t have to re run the whole line

@@how2374 So now you have both Coax and Fiber at the same time? I've been with Cox communications for 17yrs and tired of them always raising the price and fluctuating speeds and poor upload speeds. I have gigablast 1000down but a measly 35upload. They are doing "Hybrid Fiber" but thats not true FTTP and a cheap move to not fully invest on Fiber or I'd just stick with my current provider. I can go from $139 a month to $75 at ATT. Or for a little more get the 1000down and 1000up. Also would be back to having unlimited data in my house like I use to have years ago before my current company switched up its internet plans and introduced data caps unless you wanna spend and extra $50+ for unlimited data. Data caps on house internet is a crime imo. Its not mobile internet. Another reason I wanna ditch Cox Communications. But Att isnt any better in comparison but every where I read on reddit or KZread that say if Fiber is available in your area TAKE IT and hardly see anyone that has issues with their service with ATT fiber internet.
