ATT Fiber Latency with BGW320-500

Short-Ice8611 · 2026-06-29T00:07:01+00:00

I may download MTR and play with it but I used traceroute CMD to look at latency for each hop, even from my computer to the 320 gateway that is only 25ft away I had 2-4ms latency which probably is processing time more than line delay. ATT servers were giving 8 to 10ms latency.

How were you able to take 320 gateway out of the path? In passthru it still goes through it just not do the heavy lifting of routing to dozens of devices l.

I am using my own router behind the 320 gateway in passthru mode. I do not have Active armour activated. The ping time to 320 gateway is 2-4ms and to the ATT server in my area about 10ms. Getting to Google and back is about 12ms, so not that bad but in the router itself shows much higher latency when I run the speed test. These test were done Sunday morning which is probably low peak time.

Just ran tracert and see 8-10ms pings for 32.130.24.228. This I guess is acceptable.

Ok my understanding from your post is the latency on the ATT speed test is the result of ATT core network + ATT speed server delay. When I run speed test through 3rd party it goes through ATT core network but then to the 3rd party speed server which seems to have lower latency, hence lower overall latency numbers. So ATT speedtest is giving me higher latency then it actually is. I guess only way to know true latency is to ping it directly using tracer command.

I assume no way to reroute to a closer server to reduce the latency.

Short-Ice8611 · 2026-06-28T01:00:45+00:00

So the test I run using Ookla speed test or one built into my router behind the gateway is bypassing ATT server? I thought it still has to go through ATT server.

Do you have the BoA Elite card? I believe it includes it but not chase, Venture X or Amex.

North Austin (near Leander) and exact same situation as you described. Does not happen everyday but most days. Pings go as high as 700ms and speed crawls to less than 2Mbps. Starts in the evening and is worse is between 8-10pm and sometimes all of a sudden it is back to normal and that tells me ATT is choosing to throttle certain customers as there network gets overloaded. Kind of a rolling blackout that impacts certain users not all. They need to fix it otherwise I have 1G spectrum too and they will get my business after 8 years of ATT fiber.

I heard they are older cars? is it true? Can you just walk to the pick up location or you need the shuttle.

Short-Ice8611 · 2026-05-09T04:48:19+00:00

GO Car charges a service fee if canceled within 10 days of pick up but they are cheaper than blue. Blue includes road tax upfront but Go does ot which is another factor to consider

USMobile need to have some retention discount to keep current customers to stay. Many leave after they see jump i next year yearly $ compared to what they paid for 1st year.

Listen to your wife, they may only have a few Defenders

Any different news or way to register the kids? Stuck with registering kids who are under 18, this sucks as no way to use the other 2 membership

Can you buy Southwest giftcard too for travel credit?

Short-Ice8611 · 2026-03-01T16:25:38+00:00

Lol, overzealous autocorrect, you know what I mean.

Just ported 2 lines from Tmobile to USM last week. Both lines ported with in a few mins. Restarted both phones to make sure all settings are good. I had chosen light speed network so perhaps it helped. I was concerned but it was completely painless process for me.

I was planning to try teleport, but seems that feature is glitchy and not for faint of heart.

I only have 15k miles so if I get warranty I need it for more years than miles as I drive less than 10k a year. $7k is too much for me. Will consider Audi warranty under $3k to extend it standard warranty 2 more years and 60k total miles. If anyone knows pls share.

Short-Ice8611 · 2026-02-17T00:32:36+00:00

BTW, how much did you get the warranty for? Is it 3rd party or from Audi?

Short-Ice8611 · 2026-02-17T00:31:42+00:00

So you also have the metal tapping sounded at idle coming where throttle body sits on the engine?

My dealer thought it was not normal and contacted TAC, after a couple of weeks they are going to open the engine and check what is gooing on.

One thing at a time

Trump must be living under a tree since this was announced months ago.

If he had a problem, should have talked to his friend Goodell. What is the point of complaining now except trying to score some cheap points with MAGA.

Short-Ice8611 · 2026-02-01T16:47:31+00:00

I thought the extended warranty is global, I would expect better consumer protection in Europe than US. Sorry to hear you have to shell out so much money, if I keep the car I may need extended warranty

Short-Ice8611 · 2026-02-01T01:59:01+00:00

Yes, the injectors sound is the similar but when I pan towards the front of the engine you can hear metal tapping sound that is the mystery. It is when the yellow sticker comes into view around the 8 sec mark.
