The box on the outside is called the ONT. We use inside ones now that plug into the wall normally. They're about 5x3 inches. On the modem you always want Power/ BB1/ service to be green. Wifi will flash if you have an active wifi connection and ethernet will flash if you have an active connection.

ONT is the final termination. Outside box is a Slack NID (Network Interface Device). Connect Optical drop to Inside Optical fiber via SC connectors. Sometimes home owner requests drop wire taken all the way to ONT, bypassing need for slack NID. All Slack NID does is give repairman an access for possible future repair call

It's been great today! :) And the installer was really nice too. :D Thanks again!

The AT&T contractor installed our 1G fiber yesterday. He was quick and knowledgable. The only problem he ran into is that our house is up on a slight rise which means he had to request a 24 foot boom truck to get him high enough up the utility pole to make the connection there. After that, it was just a matter of running the OFS optical cable to the house, installing the box next to our existing AT&T phone / Internet box, then pulling the fiber through a new hole he drilled into our brick siding. He then switched our old AT&T router [an Ethernet Terminal Adapter, *not* a modem] for the fiber optic Gigabit router. One interesting thing to note is the new router has only 3 available Ethernet ports while the old one had 4. I will run a CAT-6E cable from the Raspberry Pi 4B that I am writing this note on when I get the time to drop by Fry's or MicroCenter to pick one up. Right now my Raspberry Pi's WiFi continues to work well. Port #2 is for our VOIP alarm connection by OOMA. Port #3 is hard-wired with one of my CAT-5 jumpers (until I pick up a CAT-6E version). I ran Speedtest before and after the 1G install: AT&T 24: *Ping* 27ms | *Download* 24.54Mbps | *Upload* 4.57Mbps 1G fiber: *Ping* 2ms | *Download* 72.6Mbps | *Upload* 57.27Mbps

Also, att does some budgets over a period of years. So they’ll allot a few million for a period of say 2-3 years for fiber installation in neighborhoods. They pick the cities and neighborhoods. If some cities (municipalities) give them trouble they’ll get bypassed and they’ll have to wait for the next budget.

The conduit has been ran in my neighborhood, the boxes are there but there is no cable inside the boxes yet, only the orange conduit. Reason I say this is because I got an email it was now available in my neighborhood. Naturally I went ahead and ordered (tv and internet) immediately (I've been stuck with 6meg dsl and satellite tv for the last 9 years with no other options) and was given an install date of March 6th. I later received a text message that they would be coming out on March 3rd to bury a cable at my location. I'm thinking the one in the yard. Should I be concerned they've jumped the gun on taking orders in my area? I had previously received an email saying it was available weeks ago which I knew wasn't true as they were in the process of installing the conduit and boxes. I promptly received another email stating that was incorrect. Sorry for the long comment but I'm curious as to what might happen this week. Thanks again for the video!

Your Broadband 2 light will never light up. Broadband 2 is for copper service. If the main node is too far away from the house (speaking about copper service vs. your fiber connection), they bring the service in on 2 pairs of copper wires rather than just one (on VDSL circuits). On fiber, the broadband light merely shows that your RG is connected to the ONT and is transmitting data. If the main fiber line gets cut, you'll still have a broadband light (only on broadband 1), but the service light will be red because there's no data passing between the ONT and the node.

Yes, I've done that and added my own Netgear Nighthawk router. Way better now.

Well done video. I don't use my internet for anything crazy. Can't I just get the 50 Mbps? I use netflix, youtube, instagram, and do work email and minor stuff. May be getting into internet gaming. I'd save $500 a month.

Thank you Excelsior Books! Yes, you should be fine with 50 Mbps. If it was the same price, I would say go with the most bang for your buck!! Thank you for commenting!

Awe man. Hopefully they get it soon!

I have xfinity that gives me 100 MBS, and it’s completely trash when I try to play Fortnite. We have more then 8 devices connected when I play. I wanted to get at&t fiber, but it’s not available where I live. There’s some near me, but still not available. I check on google, and they don’t have it either. So I check xfinity, and they charge $30 more than at&t! It’s $80 per month with at&t, $110 a month with xfinity. That’s honestly ridiculous!

Looks like that but they come out within a few days and bury the line. It is nerve racking though to think that someone may trip over it and break you connection.

Wanted to touch back in. Our service has been great but be warned if you pair this with uverse tv you will have lag if you play online video games. Probably fine for Warcraft but not for twitch shooters such as call of duty, quake etc for sure. Reason being uverse tv takes priority in the packet queue so your gaming packets get delayed if tv is being watched. 1 receiver on might be ok but from my troubleshooting more than that effects it. I have the Pace 5268ac gateway. others may have qos built in but this pace is restricted a lot and no qos I can see so you can't prioritise packets. Yes you can run your own router with qos but the iptv (uverse) has to go through the gateway so it wouldn't help. I game a lot on cod so debating switching to directv to address the issue. My understanding is even if under contract they'll let you switch with no penalty since they're pushing ppl toward dtv anyway. I had to figure this issue out my self. If you have voip that takes priority over tv while on calls.

@KevAdams1989

Regardless of the priority of the packets, your bandwidth is so high, you shouldn't see lag. Gigapower allows 6 streams into your home for the tv service. Those 6 streams will never cause congestion on your connection. Go ahead and turn on all your tv's and check your ping before and after, you shouldn't see much of a difference, if any. I will say that, from watching the video, the ping is not where it should be for fiber, each time I test a new fiber install it consistently shows 3 or 4ms, it certainly shouldn't be jumping all over like that. You likely have a defective gateway or ONT. I suppose it's possible your light level is bad on your fiber but the ONT shouldn't go online if the light is low. It's possible that your cat5e cable is pinched or poorly connected, or picking up interference from a magnetic field nearby.

Price?

Old vid.. but.. why the heck are you paying for 1GB if you don't have anything wired? Your max speed is going to be around 300-350 Mbps wirelessly.

@BrianRobinsonCoaching

7 жыл бұрын

Because 1GB is still cheaper than any alternative that I have in my city. There is only one other company to chose from that is more expensive.

This is a lie man. They told me 1g but I only get 70mb on my iPad. They say it's the iPad fault. But my Xbox says 88mb and they say it's the Xbox fault. So wtf. Are they lying to me? Should I cancel? The highest I got was direct line to my Xboxone and it was 300mb but usually 100mbs. I am sad man.

@BrianRobinsonCoaching

6 жыл бұрын

Awe man. I do know some devices aren't capable of going past certain speeds but if you got 300mb's once then 100mbs another time...thats crappy! Are you paying more than other services that could give you the same speeds? If so, I would tell them that you are going to switch if they don't fix it...but be prepared to do it if they call your bluff! Sorry your experience is bad.

They are actually right, the xbox isn’t capable of the high speeds same as the ipad. My pc can handle 1Gb if it is directly connected but my wifi adapter can handle a maximum of 300Mb

@IHunger4Battle1

6 жыл бұрын

Xbox One's speed test is faulty. It won't give you a consistent result. The only worthwhile speed test is Ookla's speedtest.net. That being said, an older iPad has a 2.4GHz adapter built in. 2.4GHz will normally only get speeds of around 75-100Mbps at best. 5GHz devices aren't all equal either. My iPhone 6 for example, can get around 300Mbps on wifi on a Gigabit account, while my iPhone 8 plus normally hits speeds of around 550.

I think you mean 1Gb and not 1GB. Internet is measured in gigabits and not gigabytes. You are getting 120MB with a 1 Gb connection (125 megabits without any kind of overhead, but you will generally never get that and your speed will hover between 110 to 120).

There isn't any radiation.... the light traveling down the fiber is just a laser. If the laser can get out of the fiber then your service will not work.
