My 2 neighbors off the same pedestal are rated at 75 Mbps while my loop is rated only for 50 Mbps. The neighbor across the street has an outside loop distance greater than mine, though I suspect their inside wiring is less for roughly the same overall length. At one time I had FTTN 24 Mbps on a single pair that consistently tested at 29 Mbps. If I order the "50 Mbps" service, is it possible that I actually will be closer to the 75 figure? It's CAT 5E from the NID to the modem. Will AT&T install bonded pairs? The cable will be for internet only as I have DirecTV.
New subject: A while back there was a discussion that customers, without video on the cable and FTTN service, could expect a significant increase in speed by AT&T using the B/W previously used by the video. That subject/initiative seems to have died a natural death. Any news?

[AT&T Fiber] Bad Node Hop from 6PM to 12AM (8ms to 60ms)
I am nearing my first year with ATT Fiber 1000 plan in Oklahoma City and within the past two months, I started noticing weird latency behavior on my Ubiquiti Unifi panel, where it will stay a constant 8ms from 12am to 6pm but will then consistently go to 60-70ms for 6 hours.
I initially thought it was because of some issue of bypassing the gateway through eap proxy using a Ubiquiti USG, but I went ahead and connected the gateway as it would normally be and only a wired connection to my desktop that has never had issues pulling a full Gbps up and down. However, the issue did not seem to go away. I ran speed tests throughout the day for the past 4 days through speedtest with a node from ATT in Richardson Texas, along with the dslreports speed test.
Basically, both speed tests showed during 12am to 6pm, my speeds are within the tier I'm paying for and an average of 8ms.
However, from 6pm to 12am, I will get 60-70ms and get flaky download/upload speed tests.
I went through their automated support and live support which consisted of resetting the gateway and some reboots but did not change anything.
I have a tech coming this Tuesday from 4-8pm but I am not exactly sure what would be causing this weird behavior or how to best explain the issue.
Has anyone else ever experienced this?
Edit: The 60+ ms increase in ping is not just with the speed test nodes, it's with everything. Ex: Pinging google via cmd is normally 7ms but during the weird hours, it also jumps up by 60ms.
Edit: Issue seems to point to a certain ATT node.

[AT&T Fiber] Is this the Central Office in my town?
So we have AT&T dedicated enterprise fiber to our house SLA.
They told us we are getting a direct line from the CO, so I been doing some driving around town find the stupid CO, and I am not sure if this the Central Office in our town? since it's driving me nut's to figure it out.
Plus the for sure this not an AT&T dispatch place since there are no trucks at all.

About to get AT&T Fiber 1000, question on bridge mode, modem
I'm about to have Fiber 1000 installed in 2 months when my current Comcast contract ends, and needless to say I was fairly excited. But the enthusiasm faded a bit when I came across this article:
http://solderthoughts.com/2017/06/growing-pains-att-gigabit-fiber/
From what I read in the article, AT&T Fiber came with a very bad modem with a low NAT limit, and no option to set the modem into bridge mode.
I have a Mikrotik CCR1009-7G router. It has built-in SFP+ port but according to the article I also cannot run the fiber directly into my CCR and bypass the AT&T modem due to 802.1x authentication.
So I'd like to know since the article was written last year, if there has been any updates/changes/improvements? Specifically:
1. I assume it is still not possible to set the AT&T modem itself into bridge mode. I saw a couple large "TrueBridge" threads, but did not find much information about Mikrotik/RouterOS related techniques. Most of the info seems to be related to Ubiquiti products. Does anyone happen to have a similar guide with MT/RouterOS?
2. Has AT&T come up with a better modem with a more generous NAT limit? What is currently the best modem? Is it possible for me to explicitly request a good modem when the technician comes for installation (I'm in Houston TX). Is there any news/rumor about any upcoming equipment upgrade that could be worth delaying my installation for?
3. Any other tips I should know as a soon-to-be new AT&T Fiber user?
Your advice would be greatly appreciated!

How to get full speed out of AT&T Gigabit
I have an AT&T Gigabit fiber connection. Have the 1000/1000 plan. Speed test result is wired directly to the back of the modem via cat#5e. How come this is the best I can get? The modems internal speed test shows the results Im looking for. My network card is up to date. I have tried 4 different computers hard wired, same results.

ATT TrueBridge Mode for for Ubiquity Security Gateway (USG)
So, I have taken the plunge and replaced my PFSense firewall with a Ubiquity USG. This is an affordable device, around $110 on Amazon, and is the perfect companion to Ubiquiti Unifi wireless access points and its controller if you happen to use any. For the same reason as "rockstar" did with his PFSense thread, I decided to open up a separate topic for those searching for information, without having to go through the "True Bypass" monster thread.
During my research before purchasing, I came across this gem:
https://blog.taylorsmith.xyz/att-uverse-modem-bypass-unifi-usg/
It explains in clear steps what you have to do. The most difficult portion is the trimming of the .json file somewhere halfway. I spent a good 20 minutes on it, and the examples that were given on the site above were of good help.
Remember: when you start following the guide above, you will eventually disconnect from the internet, so make sure you have all the sites open you want open, and have all the files you need before proceeding. Make sure you read every step, don't skip any.
PROS:
Latency decrease. As if the gigapower itself wasn't good enough, a ping to 8.8.8.8 has changed from 3-4ms to a solid 2ms. If you are further away from bigger datacenters, the latency decrease can actually be noticeable.
Speed: Speedtests are the same, really.... 930/930 to 940/940, the maximum you can push through gigabit. No change.
DPI: This is with deep packet inspection enabled on the USG, so you can really keep check to see where your data is going. This is actually a cool feature, it shows you exactly how much hundreds of applications take in data, ranging from Facebook to P2P/Torrent to Netflix to OneDrive to Speedtest.net to Gmail to online games, you name it, and all displayed in a userfriendly and accessible way.
CONS:
No decent IPv6 support yet. Ubiquiti is working on it, and current firmware has "alpha" support for it, but it will be coming soon. If you need IPv6 NOW, don't use this.... if you can wait a few months till Ubiquiti really has their IPv6 ironed out, we may be able to get it to work in a similar fashion. It may actually work now, I just haven't gotten around to really testing it yet.
NEUTRAL:
I have static IP's. I have them mostly "just because", for the geekness of it, to run servers etc.... but the reality is I managed to consolidate all those back to the one DHCP IP for now (which never changes anyways), so I can take my sweet time figuring out how to get them to work. I'm sure its not that hard, just will take some digging.

[AT&T Fiber] Configure BGW210-700 for Public IP's
I'm on Uverse and I have 5 static IP addresses. Behind my BGW210-700 I have a SonicWall firewall that is doing my firewall and routing. Unfortunately my old Uverse gateway, which was not the same model, stopped working and ATT came out and replaced it with the BGW210-700. I wasn't smart enough to get screenshots of how the old one was configured before ATT took it. Now I can't get the BGW210-700 configured properly to allow access to the public IP's. The Sonicwall has a NAT 1:1 rule that points one of the public IP's to an IP on my WAN. So basically I just need the BGW210-700 to forward traffic that comes in on the public IP over to the SonicWall and the SonicWall will know what to do with it. All of this was working before my uverse gateway was replaced. Can someone PLEASE tell me how to configure the BGW210-700 to do what I need?

[AT&T Fiber] Extremely slow upload speeds with new fiber install
So here is an interesting issue, I had new fiber 1000 service installed in my apartment yesterday, and everything seemed to be working fine, I ran lots of speed tests, and nearly always got 930+ mbps down and up. But I came to notice that I am only getting those upload speeds whenever I am using a speed test website like Speedtest.net, dslreports, or fast.com. Whenever I try to upload something to an actual website like google drive, or an off-site FTP server everything is extremely slow, like 30-300KBps. Similarly, if I connect my computer to a VPN, and run a Speedtest, I still get great download results in the hundreds of megabits, but the upload slows down to a halt just like non-speedtest websites when connected to my connection directly.
Any idea what could be going wrong? I've done tests connected directly to their modem/router, and through my Unifi USG connected to their router in IP Passthrough mode. My AT&T provided router/modem is the BGW210. It's almost like they are throttling everything but speed tests.

ICMPv6 issues with Uverse
Does anyone have a perfectly functioning IPv6 with an MTU higher than 1280?
It seems that some (AT&T?) routers in communication path are filtering out ICMPv6, specifically 'packet too large' messages. This behavior is not consistent, so it appears that only some routes are affected and not all the time (as in load balancing scenario).
What I am seeing is when I set MTU higher than 1280, sometimes IPv6 works great, with correct ICMPv6 messages at appropriate times. Other times I get connection resets and timeouts on IPv6 pages without receiving any ICMPv6 messages.
The only thing that works all the time is setting MTU on my internal RAs to the lowest possible value of 1280, but that is not how IPv6 is supposed to work, it is an ugly workaround for misconfigured carrier routers.
Does anyone have good IPv6 experience without hardcoding restrictive MTU?
I have not reached out to tech support. I am sure their advice would be to restart the router or disable IPv6.
P.S. I am not using any AT&T RG. My connection is straight from my router to ONT. I am not filtering or throttling ICMPv6 on either my router or my PCs. I am getting /60 with DHCPv6-PD with my subnets receiving /64s. I am not using 6rd.

Has Anyone Gotten Offered a Rate Below the New Customer Rate?
Hi guys,
I live in Milwaukee, WI and AT&T Fiber is available at my address. I'm interested in the service, but I need unlimited data, and it seems like the Gigabit plan for $90/mo is my only option (with a rate increase after the first year). I only need a speed of 50 Mbps however.
Is it possible to call AT&T to go below $90/mo on the gigabit plan or to get 50 Mbps with unlimited thrown in? What is the new customer rate for 50 Mbps in areas with fiber?
I am not looking to bundle. As far as competition goes, my only other option is Spectrum, which offers 200 Mbps for $45/mo ($65/mo after one year) or 400 Mbps for $65/mo forever. Both options are unlimited data.
Has anyone gotten offered a deal below the new customer rate with AT&T Fiber? Was that a deal good forever or only for the first year?
Thank you guys for your help!

[AT&T Fiber] Promos Almost Ready to Expire
We should still have 3 months until our promos expire but I am starting to think about it more. We currently have Internet 1000, U200 TV with HBO, and unlimited phone. Also have a wireless box but aren’t charged for it. Bill is around $178 a month including tax. It’s not terrible rate IMO because we also received quite a few reward cards when signing up last year.
What is the likelihood we’ll be able to have around the same rate? I know that Internet prices went up shortly after we ordered.
Are we best off checking out DTV Now and ditching U-verse? The only thing I’ll really miss is the physical DVR with all of that storage. Not the biggest fan of U-verse though so I wouldn’t necessarily be disappointed. Haven’t heard anything recently about the new service so need a backup if it doesn’t show up before our promos expire.
Any advice would be greatly appreciated.
