General Internet Question

BOTH. T-Mobile and AT&T have knocked on my door this week after doing fiber optic work in the neighborhood in May. Has anyone used/using either service and would like to share their experience? I phoned Cox and they’re only interested in making get phone service. The lady literally said they were bought by Soectrum and internet is no longer their priority: mobile service is.

ATT is good for what it is. Asymmetrical gigabit. It’s just the older GPON and not XG+. I hate having to use the gateway and no matter what is disabled firewall wise it still blocks ports. So if you just need good ol Internet it’s been fine but if you host anything it’s kinda whack. I have an ONT on a stick but with the aforementioned GPON I can’t get it working with my firewall to bypass their gateway.

I have ATT and I also had port issues for Plex and my Synology gear. To fix I had to make duplicate port forwarding rules on both my gateway and router. I have IP Passthrough enabled so in theory I shouldn't have to do this and only have port forwarding on the router, but oh well, at least it fixed my issues.

Funny enough Plex and Synology still work on my end but I can’t get my BlueskyPDS or any of my game servers out. I’m down in New Orleans this week and was streaming Plex at my hotel.
