Just after midnight today (Thursday, March 14th) my internet went down and when it came back up I saw that the firmware on my BGW210 upgraded to 1.9.14. Wonder what's new and changed?

[AT&T Fiber] ONT FTTP and public IP address adding router.
I am wondering if anyone has any luck with putting a simple router in place after AT&T ONT before gateway? To split off the traffic and use my own router. Need to know more about how AT&T authenticates. If the ONT gateway is authenticating and obtaining the IP or if the gateway does. Or if it will even allow two IP's to obtain IP's?

[AT&T Fiber] Huge Speed Discrepancies
I have had ATT Fiber 1000 since July here in Wilmington NC. Minus a few outages during some local construction the connection has been great!
Last Tuesday I noticed the internet was crawling, it was late so I rebooted my modem and went to bed. Fast forward to this Tuesday and I am noticing similar issues to the week prior(I upload large video files Tuesday night). I called ATT and did some basic troubleshooting and they determined my modem was the issue and sent me a new one.
New modem (BGW210-700) came today and I am having the same issue. Here is the weird part. The speed test from inside the ATT modem shows almost 1000 Mbps in both directions. Yet with only one device connected to the new modem via ethernet I am struggling to pull 500 down by 200 up.
I have already replaced all the cables between the ONT, modem, and my desktop. I have attached a few screenshots of different tests all from the same time. Has anyone had any experienced this and what was the solution? ATT is pretty much telling me I am SOL because they can see the speeds at the modem.
Thanks in advance

[AT&T Fiber] Overprovisioned 1 gig?
Just got fiber installed. Fiber is direct the SFP (outdoor -> patch -> indoor) on BGW320-505. I was playing with a SFP+ to RJ45 and could get faster than 1 gig downloads but the uploads would suck (600~). So I bought a USB 2.5G adapter and plugged directly to the multi-gig port of the modem. (IP passthrough is on)
It seems like the 1 gig is kind of overprovisioned but it's weird. Some things seem to be stuck at 950 down like fast.com and the google speedtest but there's multiple speedtest.net servers that will go 1260Mbps down / 1111Mbps up and the windows task manager reports 1.3G receive speeds so it isn't just a software error.

Native IPv6: Austin Area
Up until about 3-4 weeks ago, I had Native IPv6 working for my AT&T Fiber, using OpenWRT with pulled certs from an old modem.
About 3-4 weeks ago, started having sluggish internet / strange loading behavior. Ultimately killed the WAN6 connection, which resolved the problems.
Each time I bring the connection up, I end up with an fe80::... gateway, which I understand to be link-local - and running through a test like https://test-ipv6.com/ results in not being able to detect an IPv6 address.
Wanted to see if anyone was facing similar problems / found a fix.

[AT&T Fiber] New pricing?
https://www.houstonchronicle.com/techburger/article/AT-T-adds-slower-speed-lower-priced-tiers-to-15612489.php
I know it's been discussed about how T brought back the lower speed fiber tiers. What I didn't realize was the pricing.
After "the first 12 months" are we really talking about $55, $65, and $80 PLUS the $10 gateway fee? That puts gigabit at $90 out the door?

[AT&T Fiber] Lost ipv6 using pfatt in PFSENSE after over a year
Over a year ago I moved into my new home and got AT&T Fiber, right away I completed the pfatt install on my pfSense box, and everything was awesome
https://github.com/MonkWho/pfatt
I followed the IPv6 instructions there, and here - https://www.dslreports.com/forum/r32116977-AT-T-Fiber-RG-Bypass-pfSense-IPv6
Everything worked well. Just during the past week, I noticed my IPv6 no longer functions. My firewall had 100+ days of uptime, and there were zero config changes
Rebooted the gateway, nothing. Rebooted the ONT, nothing, rebooted pfsense, nothing. I also then updated to the latest pfsense build 2.4.5-RELEASE-p1, where pfatt still works fine, but still no IPv6
I'm wondering if anyone else is having a similar issue? I am in the Houston, TX area, and I can only assume that AT&T has made changes on their end
I have not yet tried un-bypassing, because thats a lot of work. Any suggestions are very welcome, as I used IPv6 heavily

AT&T dedicated Internet fiber discounts?
I am a current spectrum business fiber customer paying about $375 per month for 25 Mb symmetrical.
AT&T dedicated Internet has contacted me twice now saying business fiber was available in my neighborhood, but both times their prices are nowhere near competitive, The latest offer was for $520 a month for 20 Mb service.
Has anyone successfully got AT&T to negotiate on these prices? I would actually love to have dual fiber Internet from two different companies if I could make it work financially.

WPA Supplicant fails
I have ATT fiber and the ATT RG has been acting up lately, so I'm trying to take it off the network and bypass it using WPA_supplicant. I'm using an edgerouter 10x.
I'm getting an EAP authentication failed error after setting everything up.
I've done the following so far:
1) Get keys&certs from my RG onto my router using the handy tool by devicelocksmith to unpack the .dat file. I made sure the paths to the keys were correct.
2) Setup WPA Supplicant v2.8 from the stretch backports repo (I tried 2.4 too to no avail)
3) set eth0 (connected to ONT) to use vlan 0 and spoof the RG MAC address. I pasted my configuration in the postscript.
Running with the -d verbose flag, I'm getting the following error:
OpenSSL: openssl_handshake - SSL_connect error:1408F10B:SSL routines:ssl3_get_record:wrong version number
wpa_supplicant is trying to use TLS version 1.2.
Does somebody with a working setup mind running wpa_supplicant with the -d flag and sharing their output?
Does anyone have any idea what might be going wrong?
Thanks in advance!

What is your AT&T wish list?
It’s funny that while for most Americans hating their cable and/or internet provider is part of life, it doesn’t HAVE to be that way. Most of the things we disclose most are unforced errors... they’re policies that don’t need to be that way. We know they watch this and other social media so let keep our complaints in their face.
1). Enable true, real, bridge mode in their residential gateways. Ideally this would let us put it in a box, but I could even live with leaving it plugged in for authentication. I’d even be willing to pay for this feature.
2). Remove (or include) the fee for the residential gateway. It makes no sense to add a fee for a the gateway as if it’s optional; if it’s required for the service, then it should be included in the price. It’s just dishonest, and it says a lot about what they think of their customers. If they won’t do it, then maybe the FCC should look at requiring providers to do so.
3). Make ALL plans unlimited. There are no significant incremental costs to a carrier for bandwidth consumption. Just make it a part of any plan.
4). Increase access to low income plans for families and seniors. No home should go unconnected, especially now.
Those are my top three what are yours? What could make the go from a company you hate doing business with to one that you actually love?

[AT&T Fiber] HELP
My ATT fiber speeds have slowed to a crawl - less than 4mb/sec down from 7Pm til 10:45 every night. This happened last spring, I spent hours and hours dealing with tech support, endured 6 truck rolls and had multiple conversations with the office of the president. The end result after all of that is a supervisor at the OOP sheepishly said, "we generally don't address slow speeds in peak hours issues". I was ready to reluctantly switch to Spectrum when during Covid they did something - I assume some capacity build out and everything went from horrible to awesome overnight - until this week.
I traced the latency to a specific router or card in Austin (the speedtest I included was to a site less than a mile from where I live and the problem IP was in the path to it). My Internet is unusable at night, ATT doesn't address slow peak hour speeds,
Any Ideas?
Or am I just stuck with Spectrum - slower (promised) speeds for more $, but at least it works.

Made the switch to AT&T TV from "UVERSE TV"
I finally decided to make the move to AT&T TV. I opted for the "Ultimate" package as it compared favorably to our U300.
We had 6 UVERSE receivers, but I ordered 4 AT&T TV Boxes and decided to use an Apple TV & Firestick for the outdoor projector and guest bedroom.
There are only 3 concurrent live streams at once, but we have found that between the DVR & included HBO max, that we don't use more than 3 streams at a time.
Pricing:
I was paying about $170 for UVERSE TV + $40 for 1000/1000 and now I am paying $125 for AT&T TV + $40 for 1000/1000. I honestly received new customer pricing by accident.. Instead of calling in and doing a "migration", I just placed an order for AT&T TV on the website, so I could compare the two side by side.
Picture quality:
Hands down, AT&T is much better than UVERSE in terms of picture quality. I assume it's using DTV feeds because some of the menu's and channels have the DirecTV logo.
AT&T TV Receivers:
Again, hands down AT&T TV wins. I have heard the boxes were slow and full of bugs, but I have not found that to be the case so far. I never thought I would like a physical remote with Google assistant so much.
It runs Android and has the ability to search TV programming between apps using the voice remote function. It's also great because I can ask it to "show me the driveway" etc. and it will pull up any of my Nest cameras on the TV.
It's also nice being able to log in to watch programming on a Firestick and other devices like a desktop computer so easily. I was able to play the game yesterday on a projector we setup in our neighbors driveway so we could all spend time together while socially distancing.
Conclusion: I do not regret moving to AT&T TV from UVERSE. I suggest anyone who is thinking about swapping, to setup AT&T TV prior because UVERSE can't be reinstalled once cancelled.

Did some recent change screw up IPv6?
I'm in Houston, and subscribe to Internet 1000 and use a 5268AC router directly (no other routers, etc.)
I also have a static IP /29 block, and I actually use all of the IPs in the block on various devices.
I just noticed that IPv6 connectivity seems to be dead. Cannot "ping6 google.com" or anything.
However, all of my devices are still being assigned IPv6 addresses.
The laptop I am on right now is assigned 69.238.21x.xxx and this works fine bidirectionally.
It is also assigned several IPv6 addresses such as "2600:1700:1d60:xxx:yyyy" where xxx is constant and yyyy is several different random values, but also always one constant value per machine.
I have a server at a hosting company with IPv6 enabled and I cannot ping6 to any of the IPv6 addresses on the laptop. This used to work fine. The configuration on the laptop has not changed, but the 5268AC has received several software updates.
ping6 DOES work within my local network. I have a raspberry pi on ethernet which is assigned one of my IPv4 /29 addresses, and also has a consistent IPv6 assignment. I can ping6 to the pi from my laptop. But I cannot ping6 from the remote server.
Interestingly, a router IS replying to the ping6 packets sent by the remote server. But it's not my router.
[user@daria ~]# ping6 2600:1700:1d60:xxxx::yyyy
PING 2600:1700:1d60:xxxx::yyyy(2600:1700:1d60:xxxx::yyyy) 56 data bytes
From 2600:1700:1d60::1 icmp_seq=1 Destination unreachable: Address unreachable
From 2600:1700:1d60::1 icmp_seq=2 Destination unreachable: Address unreachable
The last 2 lines are unmodified. 2600:1700:1d60::1 appears to be an AT&T router, it is probably my first hop after my router. But I cannot ping it from a local machine.

Still hope? Maybe FTTH?
Suddenly 5 or 6 AT$T boxes/vaults have appeared around my neighborhood, the closest only 100 ft away. Can this be an indication of FTTH deployment?
Since at$t stopped selling vanilla DSL the only option here is spectrum's 100, 400 and GIG (which I currently have). If you call at$t the only service available is TV and if you ask the salesperson how are you going to watch AT$T TV if they don't offer broadband he/she will tell you to buy spectrum's broadband... oh the irony.
Since T continues to loose video subscribers right and left https://www.fiercevideo.com/video/at-t-scales-back-q3-video-sub-losses-to-627-000 one of the few bright spots is FTTH broadband additions which account to 350,000 for the period.quote:We added more than 350,000 fiber broadband customers and are on track to grow our fiber base by more than 25% this year.
So my question is: Could these photos indicate FTTH deployments? The poles show FHxxxx (fiber hub) markings.
