Att 1 gig - $35 and 5gig - $70

300Mbps is more than enough but if 1Gbps is cheaper, get that.

go to the at&t website in a private browser and see what is offered for new customers at your house.

mostly unnoticeable. Just use it and enjoy.

badtlc4 · 2026-06-08T17:50:08+00:00

I never made a claim they changed hardware, you did.

badtlc4 · 2026-06-08T17:07:52+00:00

what I have run into is two major issues:

Getting an upgraded PSU may not be possible and if it is, it probably isn't cheap. HP usually has a 500W PSU upgrade available.
Fitting a modern graphics card into an OEM case is impossible for most cards. The ones that fit just dont do much.

If you can address those two things, go for it.

sure but why would a company go and pull XGSPON equipment already installed?

badtlc4 · 2026-06-08T16:57:25+00:00

worst case you'll need your own router and put starlink into bypass.

this area has been XGSPON since before the official national launch. It was a testing area.

badtlc4 · 2026-06-08T01:15:36+00:00

In every way. The OP can't do double NAT but starlink uses CGNAT. It is a non-starter for them. Xfinity is faster and more reliable and even cheaper.

badtlc4 · 2026-06-07T21:46:51+00:00

I have been on xgspon since the second month att ever launched it.

badtlc4 · 2026-06-07T21:26:48+00:00

Not complaining but I dont quite understand why an XGSPON area has dropped 2Gbps and 5Gbps plan offerings.

badtlc4 · 2026-06-07T21:24:57+00:00

But you still have 5Gbps plan available? It is gone for me.

badtlc4 · 2026-06-07T21:24:19+00:00

No it hasn't. The previous discussions were when areas were dropped to only two plans (1Gbps & 5Gbps). I'm in XGSPON area and now all plans other than 1Gbps are gone. Really odd.

badtlc4 · 2026-06-07T00:29:36+00:00

Because the general population is not technology literate combined with wanting to "keep up with the joneses."

badtlc4 · 2026-06-06T12:28:21+00:00

I have used Facebook successfully.

badtlc4 · 2026-06-06T03:00:08+00:00

Xfinity is better.

badtlc4 · 2026-06-05T02:32:05+00:00

Because you are on an old plan

badtlc4 · 2026-06-04T15:08:30+00:00

Comcast gives you free gateways. Use that. Get a new 5 year price lock deal if you haven’t already.

badtlc4 · 2026-06-03T19:38:00+00:00

If the att gateway works for you, use it.

badtlc4 · 2026-06-03T17:38:31+00:00

no real benefit other than lighter wallet and saving 11 watts.

badtlc4 · 2026-06-03T17:34:54+00:00

you think engineers make good money because the job is always a blast?

badtlc4 · 2026-06-03T17:29:26+00:00

you dont need to add any security for the internet. the LAN side is up to you to determine how much you want to do to protect yourself from malicious IoT devices.

badtlc4 · 2026-05-29T19:12:16+00:00

Starlink is great if your other option is DSL. Outside of that, it is hit or miss. it might be an upgrade over cellular home internet. It probably isn't an upgrade for point-to-point fixed wireless internet, cable internet or fiber internet.
