I had my $10/mo sign-up promo end last month and asked a chat support person if there were any available. He said that there were no current loyalty discounts available, but to check back later in the month as they get generated monthly.
I was wondering if anyone else has had any luck getting any. Was considering calling in as well but I don't know if it's worth trying.
I see there's a $30/mo discount available for new customers on Internet 1000.

Any luck with getting promotional discounts?

[AT&T Fiber] Is this a peering issue? (PingPlotter chart included)
AT&T Fiber in Louisville, KY
FYI I'm not trying to diagnose the problem, this (peering) was just suggested as a possibility elsewhere and it was suggested that I post here.
Symptoms
Example:
Browsing a site at home on my PC/Phone/Tablet. Every once in awhile (~30-60 mins), the browser will get hung on a request (e.g. when clicking a link). Browser will appear to be disconnected from the internet. On my phone, switching off WiFi works immediately - site loads fine. Site generally starts working again within a few minutes.
Streaming video, once started, is almost always VERY good.
Speed tests are almost always VERY good.
App startup can be excruciatingly slow at times but is also VERY good pretty often.
Info Gathering
I'll start with an illustrative example using youtube.com but many sites tends to have this issue periodically.
Pingplotter, youtube.com
[att=1]
What I notice in this pattern (which seems to repeat indefinitely) is that whenever the DNS resolution is updated (DNS cache expires), there is a non-zero probability that the connection will degrade significantly.
This happens regardless of wired/wireless/device/OS but is limited to traffic exiting through the AT&T network.
Pingplotter, youtube.com via PIA VPN
[att=2]
This is the same trace with OpenVPN active using PIA. This is a much longer window (~7.5 hours) that shows no signs of this issue when the DNS target is updated.
Asking for help
I'd love to hear any thoughts on this.
I've done a lot of testing over the last several months that this seems to have become an issue and I feel like I've isolated enough variables to be pretty sure it's not something going on with my home network.
If there's any other data I can provide or tests I can perform, just let me know!
Clarifications
Tests were performed following a reboot of the BGW210
All presented data is from a wired gigabit connection.
I do understand that PingPlotter uses "ping" and "tracert" functions which rely on ICMP packets.
I understand ICMP packets may be de-prioritized by nodes throughout the route.
Youtube.com is an illustrative example but this type of periodic slowdown is not limited to a specific set of sites based on my observations.
I have used the Network Utilities iOS app to perform the same types of Trace Route tests when I notice slowdowns on my phone and I see similar results compared to PingPlotter.

[AT&T Fiber] Help with dumb switch bypass
Hello everyone. I recently acquired 1000/1000 fiber service in my new apartment but I was less than thrilled with the fact that they were forcing their equipment on me. I found instructions to perform the dumb switch bypass and bought the required hardware. I got a small UPS and a DGS-1005G switch and followed the instructions, and while my router does acquire a public IP via DHCP, I am left with no internet access. I am using a TP-Link Archer C7. This router was working fine on my previous connection, which was a barebones docsis 3.0 modem on Spectrum.
I have the MAC of my gateway cloned to my router.
From a completely powered off state, I power on the ONT and allow it to establish a connection (Solid green lights).
I plug the ONT and Pace gateway into my DGS-1005G, power on the Pace, and wait for it to establish a broadband connection (Solid green lights).
From a powered on state, I unplug the Pace gateway and plug in the router to the DGS-1005G.
I web into the router and confirm it has the same public IP the gateway had acquired.
Test internet connectivity, no access.
Am I missing a step or is the TP-Link Archer C7 perhaps not compatible with the bypass trick? I am fairly competent when it comes to computers and networking but this one has me stumped. Any tips or advice would be appreciated...thanks!

[AT&T Fiber] EdgeRouter Bypass with Successful IPv6
This is under the assumption you are already bypassed on the edgerouter and have a connection from the edgerouter straight to the ONT.
This has been up for me for the last few days and I have restarted the router a couple times and it grabs back the IPV6 connection in a few minutes after boot.
I generated the DUID from [link]https://github.com/aus/pfatt/blob/master/bin/gen-duid.sh and then grabbed the last octets after the 31:36:33:31:35:30 and pasted that in.
Edit: From DLS suggestions, to get rid of /128 and then added to the loopback.

AT&T TV Launches Nationwide February 2020
I hope they add more streams. They also don’t have two main channels in my area that I like 11 and 24.
AT&T TV launches nationwide in February 2020
AT&T Communications CEO Jeff McElfresh, speaking today at Barclays Global TMT Conference, said that AT&T TV will officially launch in February 2020 and that it, along with HBO Max, will spearhead a “market reorientation” at AT&T.
“Our growth agenda is on fiber, in our entertainment group, and on AT&T TV,” said McElfresh. He said AT&T TV will feature customer acquisition costs of about half of what AT&T currently spends to bring on legacy satellite TV subscribers for DirecTV. He said the content lineup will be “every bit as good” as what AT&T currently offers through DirecTV and U-verse and that the user experience is “future leaning.”

Cannot reset IP allocations
Have one wired device connect to the gateway with DHCP. out of the 5 IPs (1...5) sequentially it picks .4. I would like it to be .2. I allocated the MAC address to .1 rebooted the device and it won't connect. The only way to get it to connect is to unallocate the IP but then it comes back to the assigned IP of .4. The device itself has to be DHCP, so I cannot pre-assign it a fixed IP internally.

[AT&T Fiber] High packet loss at 3rd hop
I have had AT&T Gigabit Fiber for a year or so, and it has been amazing until a few months ago.
It is painfully slow trying to browse the internet or play some cell phone games.
I turn wifi off on my cell phone just to browse. It's absurd.
I still have very high download speeds.
I can stream Netflix/Hulu without issue.
Web browsing is the main concern for me right now. I am fairly confident the issue is not in my home.
AT&T support came out and replaced my modem; no improvement. My house is fairly new, and the cabling from the
Fiber Optic converter box is new and undamaged.
Speed test on the modem shows 999Mbps. So, tech support says its fixed. I've not found the right person to assist
with this problem. I will be cancelling my service eventually if I can't get this resolved. I hate to do it. But I
can't take the painful web browsing.
I have found a user with the exact same problem on the forums, but no answer:
https://forums.att.com/t5/AT-T-Fiber-Equipment/ATT-Fiber-High-Latency-Packet-Loss/td-p/6075249
I ran a similar test with MTR to several websites overnight. Results are below.
The issue appears to be at IP 76.201.209.8. Over 90% packet loss. It's always the 3rd hop outside my modem.
Does anybody have any insight to fix this?

[AT&T Fiber] Incredibly slow speeds
I have Gigabit fiber service. After a 10 mb/sec stream buffered endlessly, I ran speed tests to about 30 servers and tracroutes to about 15. Other than the AT&T server in my town, the best downstream results were under 500 down and all that router through Dallas were under 60 mb/sec - one as low as 38. I tested with a Cyberpower PC via Ethernet directly to the modem. I confirmed these results with an Alienware laptop, also via Ethernet directly to the modem and several wifi devices (same basic speeds as Ethernet site by site). These problems occur repeatedly in peak hours.
AT&T support told me because they had a perfect connection from my home to their local DSLAM, that they would not even look into it. When I asked what I should do, they said "check my equipment". When I reiterated that I had confirmed the problem with multiple high end pieces of equipment, they said, "check my equipment". The direct support link said "connection refused. I'm in Austin TX. Does anyone have a contact at AT&T that might help me?

Could My Subdivision Be Getting A FTTH Upgrade?
Pulling in the entrance I noticed a Utility Work Ahead sign. No crews yet. We recently had underground wiring installed so I know that’s not it.

blog.taylorsmith.xyz gone?
I just had my fiber installed yesterday (went great, and the installer was amazing), and am now digging into research on the best ways to integrate my Ubiquiti equipment. The eap_proxy github repo points to https://blog.taylorsmith.xyz/att-uverse-modem-bypass-unifi-usg/, but that site doesn't work for me (looks like there's no DNS record for blog.taylorsmith.xyz). Is there a new resource that folks are using instead?

[AT&T Fiber] Worth Calling Retentions
We have U200 with HBO, Internet 1000, and unlimited home phone. We pay around $184 after tax. I have called Retentions in the past and have been told that’s the best they can do. I called them today asking how much it’d cost for Internet only and if we could get any promos with that. The rep first said let me look into your current plan first and came back with $20 off Internet for a year! If I recall correctly, we should now be paying $50 a month for Internet 1000. I am glad I called!

[AT&T Fiber] Data usage not correct
I have an issue that I hope someone here can help with. AT&T associates seem to want to pass the buck. I had an outage in late August due to me getting too close to the fiber run to my house with my string trimmer or mower, and it pulled it loose from the NID on the outside of the house. This was repaired and the cable was re-buried to prevent this from happening again, but ever since this repair was completed, my total data usage has not been accumulating correctly. As you can see in the attached screenshot, my RG is displaying my household data usage for my devices, but neither the SmartHome Manager app or the AT&T website is displaying my total usage for the current bill cycle. Also, my monthly bill indicates that I have no usage for the past 3 months. I had trouble explaining to AT&T that although I don’t have a data cap, I would still like to track my usage. They sent a tech out, and he understood the situation, but explained that since there wasn’t a service issue, (my speeds are as expected and no interruptions) there wasn’t anything he could do and suggested I go to a retail store for help. My guess is that the retail associates are primarily sales persons and probably wouldn’t be much help for this technical issue. Looking for suggestions as I seem to think the problem is in the ONT or beyond.

[AT&T Fiber] 4K / UHD Availability
Hi,
Recently my wife and I purchased a new Hisense Roku UHD tv. I'm on
at&t fiber where I live, we're still uverse customers for now. My question is this..does at&t offer/pass through any 4k/UHD signals through the pace 5268AC broadband router that at&t furnishes for our tv/wireless service ? If not, our new tv is just being utilized as a 'ordinary' tv.

ATT Default DNS vs Other (Google, Cloudflare, OpenDNS)
VDSL2 user here.
When it comes to online gaming and video streaming, is there much consideration to be concerned about using the default DNS from the gateway vs using a personal router connected in IP Passthrough and overriding DNS in the router.

[AT&T Fiber] Another ATT Gateway Bypass Thread
Hi All,
There is enormous amount of information and I've been reading for a few hours on bypassing the ATT gateway, versus DMZ+, IP Passthrough ect. I have the gigapower and the Pace 5682 gateway. I currently do not have static public IP but am open to paying for it if it helps
I have ordered a Edgerouter 4 that is to be delivered tomorrow. I am an engineer and I do software amongst other things, but I am not a systems or networking engineer. I don't do any CLI with networking equipment, but I do CLI other things so I'm sure I can pick it up quicker than most. My questions are:
1) I am planning to start with the dumb-switch bypass as it sounds very straightforward, however, I am concerned about having all of my outbound traffic reliant upon a cheap $25 switch. Will it drop or mis-manage packets? I have the switch already and a small UPS I plan to use. My priority is mostly in online FPS gaming, in that I'd like to keep latency and packet loss (mis-management) low with an Open NAT.
2) Assuming long-term I'd like to have something better than the dumb-switch approach, I'm seeing options to use a managed switch and swap VLANs, but I've also seen posts about getting certs from a NV gateway and deploying the authentication in some routers. Would I be able to do this with the Edgerouter-4? I couldn't find any hits for this hardware combo and cert spoofing.
3) Any reason to buy a static IP and put the gateway into some sort of passthrough mode. There are some videos on Youtube and such that hint at this being a "true-bridge" but then there are comments that suggest this is not. My gut says going through the gateway in anyway is a loss, but again, I only know enough to be dangerous and can't prove this out on my own.

Unlikely install
So, my mom is attempting to have uverse/dsl installed at her house (5mbps). But I see a problem that will probably cause issue.. The lines running up the hill to her house from the nearest pedestal are the older type and to top it off, the poles are way to distant apart for the newer lines to be dropped.....
My question is.. What are the odds of them burying a line up the road for her so she could obtain service? In theory, they are supposed to come out tomorrow mid day. Is there a process to maybe have them either bury a line or at least let her qualify for fixed wireless if they can't/won't run the new lines to her house? She attempted the fixed wireless route first but they denied her due to qualifying for uverse internet (again, at 5mbps)
Thoughts?
