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.

AT&T Fiber
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.
