I've had AT&T fiber for years now. It is rock solid. Once they start in your neighborhood, things move pretty quickly. Depending on your service tier, the ultimate speed to your systems will depend on your gateway and interior wiring. I have gigabit service and the speed to the modem is usually close to 1000Mbps. Wi-Fi to my phone varies from high 300's to high 400's. All this is way more speed than you will ever need but to me the best feature is the reliability.
Fiber is Coming to my neighborhood
I just talked to a At&t Technician in our neighborhood and he said they are bringing fiber very soon. I hope this improves my internet I have cox cable out several times a year working on my internet from cox. The internet seems to very on my computer when surfing the internet but streaming TV doesn't seem to be affected much. I am building a system so I don't have my DAC or streamer. I do have my amp and getting a preamp as we speak. Would Fiber have any effect on the type of streamer or DAC I look at? I do assume that fiber will be better than cable. What should I look for to improve signal as far as jitter?

@llg98ljk When you talk about the gateway are you referring to the modem? Did. you use the equipment from AT&T or did you purchase your own? |
brbrock: Yes, I use their equipment, and the gateway is a modem. You have to use their gateway if you have fiber. I don't know of any way to get around that. Apparently, you can piggy-back your stuff onto it but that gets into areas that are way above my pay grade, I like to keep thigs simple and it all works to my satisfaction as is. |
@llg98ljk I imagine just going getting fiber will be a huge upgrade when it gets here. I constantly have sporadic issues with cable. |
