June 14, 2026 Good speed, nice people, great price, but they don't offer a public IP address and stick you behind CGNAT. You have to use a vpn or tunnel out if you want to share your plex library, access your cameras, or anything that requries you to have an open network.

June 14, 2026 ATT is my services provider. I have one of the biggest fiber internet plans. We stream everything and don't have cable. We have 5 tvs and have never had issues with the internet unless there is a storm. When there is a storm the internet rarely goes out. We are very happy with it.
