@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?
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?

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. |
As a retired AT&T tech, I can assure you it will be better than what you have now. Try to use a ethernet connection instead of wifi if possible, so if you can have the tech that comes install the gateway close to your system, it would facilitate a short run of ethernet cable. It doesn't really matter what level of equipment you purchase, it will benefit. |
@allanblissett Yes thanks for the info. I am excited about it. I have the cable guy out at least 2 to three times a year. I think I mentioned this in a previous post but I feel like they come out and just put a bandaid on the problem. |
