1GB Fiber Internet Service AT&T | What to Expect

[@miked52]

Thank you for posting this. I just discovered that I can upgrade from U-Verse 45 to Fiber 1000 for $3 more a month. Needless to say I have made arrangements for the upgrade install.

[@markshellard]

How has it been so far?

[@BrianRobinsonCoaching]

You're welcome! Thank you too!

[@hashtagshrekt]

The box on the outside is called the ONT. We use inside ones now that plug into the wall normally. They're about 5x3 inches. On the modem you always want Power/ BB1/ service to be green. Wifi will flash if you have an active wifi connection and ethernet will flash if you have an active connection.

[@BrianRobinsonCoaching]

good stuff.

[@saltyassassin]

ONT is the final termination. Outside box is a Slack NID (Network Interface Device). Connect Optical drop to Inside Optical fiber via SC connectors. Sometimes home owner requests drop wire taken all the way to ONT, bypassing need for slack NID. All Slack NID does is give repairman an access for possible future repair call

[@samuelortiz2282]

here in my garage just got this new fiber power box, but you know what i like more than my new fiber power box..... broadband, i got 10 new inches of power box

[@BrianRobinsonCoaching]

lol...heck yeah!!

[@jhlancaster3]

Samuel Ortiz so does the power supply box need to be on the side of the wall where the drop comes to the house? Or do they run a fiber line inside and then a line to the modem?

[@EYEBALLS-kq2en]

[@xAORxITSRUIN]

J Lancaster yes the “power box” is a media converter. Converts fiber to copper.

[@walterholbrooks673]

I'm waiting for my fiber install on my street. Thanks for the video. Now I have an idea for what to expect from the install.

[@BrianRobinsonCoaching]

Glad to help. This video is a few years old so they may have some differences in installation now but I hope it all goes well for you. BTW, I ended up getting another router (Netgear Nighthawk) to cascade behind their router/modem and I have better, stable speeds.

[@walterholbrooks673]

@@BrianRobinsonCoaching Thanks for the response. If I may ask , which NightHawk did you choose , was the setup difficult and did you make a video for it? I know too many questions. I'm a newbie to this world of technology.

[@AtlantaTerry]

The AT&T contractor installed our 1G fiber yesterday. He was quick and knowledgable. The only problem he ran into is that our house is up on a slight rise which means he had to request a 24 foot boom truck to get him high enough up the utility pole to make the connection there. After that, it was just a matter of running the OFS optical cable to the house, installing the box next to our existing AT&T phone / Internet box, then pulling the fiber through a new hole he drilled into our brick siding. He then switched our old AT&T router [an Ethernet Terminal Adapter, *not* a modem] for the fiber optic Gigabit router. One interesting thing to note is the new router has only 3 available Ethernet ports while the old one had 4. I will run a CAT-6E cable from the Raspberry Pi 4B that I am writing this note on when I get the time to drop by Fry's or MicroCenter to pick one up. Right now my Raspberry Pi's WiFi continues to work well. Port #2 is for our VOIP alarm connection by OOMA. Port #3 is hard-wired with one of my CAT-5 jumpers (until I pick up a CAT-6E version). I ran Speedtest before and after the 1G install: AT&T 24: *Ping* 27ms | *Download* 24.54Mbps | *Upload* 4.57Mbps 1G fiber: *Ping* 2ms | *Download* 72.6Mbps | *Upload* 57.27Mbps

You’ll only have broadband one lit up on fiber. Broadband two would be a for a bonded pair set up. The NID box is 240 ont.

broadband 2 is only lit when you have bonded pair copper service.

[@AaronDevlin]

We recently got DirectTv and Att internet , It’s sucks living in rural area , the person who came out say that fiber optics is coming soon “they recently just finished road and I saw a Att truck putting up new lines so hopefully the fiber optics will be coming soon , our internet right now is so slow . we paid 30.00 dollars per month for 5 mbps .

[@BrianRobinsonCoaching]

Wow. I hope you can get fiber soon! Let me know when you do!

[@IHunger4Battle1]

Your Broadband 2 light will never light up. Broadband 2 is for copper service. If the main node is too far away from the house (speaking about copper service vs. your fiber connection), they bring the service in on 2 pairs of copper wires rather than just one (on VDSL circuits). On fiber, the broadband light merely shows that your RG is connected to the ONT and is transmitting data. If the main fiber line gets cut, you'll still have a broadband light (only on broadband 1), but the service light will be red because there's no data passing between the ONT and the node.

[@BrianRobinsonCoaching]

Thanks for the info.

[@IHunger4Battle1]

Anytime. Great vid though! Solid install.

[@malcolmmarzo2461]

I measured the speeds immediately before and after our installation. See my posting.

[@troyBORG]

What connectors go into the modem? Just regular ethernet, or does it have Fiber going into it, and ethernet going out? Also does the box in your garage somehow connect to your modem?

[@BrianRobinsonCoaching]

Its just regular Ethernet to the modem. The box in the garage has fiber going into it then Ethernet out to the modem.

[@stephenjohnston8518]

[@BrianRobinsonCoaching]

I got new equipment that I posted in the update video. I believe the modem was the same though. CAT 6 cable is optimal. Thanks!

[@Fr0zen14]

The fiber drop from the handhole to your house... You said they (AT&T) would bury it? With dirt or something? Or do they come out a week later or so, dig up the ground a little bit and install a conduit themselves?

[@BrianRobinsonCoaching]

They came out a few days later and buried it using a trenching machine. You had to look hard to find the "trench" that it was buried in. They actually did a good job. Only negative was the orange spray paint they put on the grass to show the crew the intended path for the line.

[@Fr0zen14]

Ah, I see. Thanks for the reply!

[@HaDaBoiZ]

If Broadband 2 is on it means you have bundled pair(2 connections copper and fiber helping each other). But you have fiber connection that is why it is only broadband 1.

Directv might be a good deal at first but in no time your bill will be probably 150 dollars around 250 if you want the movie channels what ours ran after ATT took over directv and destroyed the prices. Right know my ATT u-verse I believe they illegally charge a overlimit fee I believe my ATT went from a outrageous 64 dollars to 124 no matter how much band with I use ATT will just I believe once you go over once even if you don't use charge you the illegal price I believe that is for 15 mb internet that you can get anywhere else for like 40 dollars.

Yeah. I bought a WiFi extender on Amazon and it seems to be working well. So I cancelled Spectrum and I think I will go with it for awhile. Now I am waiting for the people to come bury the cable. Makes it hard to cut the grass with it laying on the ground. I think I will cut it. Because if I let my 16 year old son cut it. The cable will be in shreds. He’s attached to his phone half the time. So now I am just waiting on my Att rewards card for signing up.

[@KrustableHD]

Thank you

[@phos4usredeemer]

Wanted to touch back in. Our service has been great but be warned if you pair this with uverse tv you will have lag if you play online video games. Probably fine for Warcraft but not for twitch shooters such as call of duty, quake etc for sure. Reason being uverse tv takes priority in the packet queue so your gaming packets get delayed if tv is being watched. 1 receiver on might be ok but from my troubleshooting more than that effects it. I have the Pace 5268ac gateway. others may have qos built in but this pace is restricted a lot and no qos I can see so you can't prioritise packets. Yes you can run your own router with qos but the iptv (uverse) has to go through the gateway so it wouldn't help. I game a lot on cod so debating switching to directv to address the issue. My understanding is even if under contract they'll let you switch with no penalty since they're pushing ppl toward dtv anyway. I had to figure this issue out my self. If you have voip that takes priority over tv while on calls.

[@BrianRobinsonCoaching]

Thanks for the touch back! Good info!!

[@KevAdams1989]

Regardless of the priority of the packets, your bandwidth is so high, you shouldn't see lag. Gigapower allows 6 streams into your home for the tv service. Those 6 streams will never cause congestion on your connection. Go ahead and turn on all your tv's and check your ping before and after, you shouldn't see much of a difference, if any. I will say that, from watching the video, the ping is not where it should be for fiber, each time I test a new fiber install it consistently shows 3 or 4ms, it certainly shouldn't be jumping all over like that. You likely have a defective gateway or ONT. I suppose it's possible your light level is bad on your fiber but the ONT shouldn't go online if the light is low. It's possible that your cat5e cable is pinched or poorly connected, or picking up interference from a magnetic field nearby.

[@KrisCortez]

Does your house need to be wired for cat5e cables?

[@BrianRobinsonCoaching]

It doesn't have to be wired. The techs will bring everything you need to go from the fiber to your modem but from the modem/router to your computer will be up to you.

[@fitecommander5565]

how did it workout after this years, im planing on getting this service today. Was it worth it? The price here for this service is $70 plus taxes and fees.

[@BrianRobinsonCoaching]

I still use it. The price went up when I moved to a new house and I did an update video on it...about 2 years ago. I called and renegotiated the price to $77 a month. Its worth it to me. I still run speed tests from time to time and still get amazing speeds. Thanks for asking! Did I answer all your questions?

I think you mean 1Gb and not 1GB. Internet is measured in gigabits and not gigabytes. You are getting 120MB with a 1 Gb connection (125 megabits without any kind of overhead, but you will generally never get that and your speed will hover between 110 to 120).

Raidergeek34 you can in conjunction with their provided unit

[@DrakeAShort]

How much is it? I'm interested

[@BrianRobinsonCoaching]

They now have it for $120/month bundle here www.att.com/bundles/

[@ziegaubrey1643]

thisisb-rob can I just get the internet for $80?

[@DrakeAShort]

Omg $80 I pay $250 for 200 mps

[@ziegaubrey1643]

La Sondra Kitten I may be mistaken but I think that's the right price where I'm at, I'm sorry to hear about the price where you are 😕

[@benjaminiriarte8022]

Hi, B-Rob, I hope it's not too late for me to ask you something about this video, so I'm trying any way . . . the thing is, do you know if an installation like yours can qualify as a "Self Installation" when I show interest to get it from AT&T?; I mean, if I I wanted to save some money by making the installation of that system by myself, what would AT&T let me do?; Do they install the grey box outside the house or let me install it?; from what point of the whole thing would my intervention start? . . . Greetings . . .Thanks a lot! (Very helpful video, by the way)

[@BrianRobinsonCoaching]

Hi Benjamin. The installation was free for me so I didn't even consider asking if I could do it myself. I would think that they would not let you unless you were a contractor who performs the installations for them. I actually had an AT&T company person come out but I have heard that sometimes they contract out this work. Maybe you can work that angle. They did install the grey box outside the house for me. Let me know if you have any other questions. I want to be helpful. Also sorry about answering so late. I've been really busy with some other stuff and took me a while to answer. I should be more prompt next time. Thanks for watching and asking questions.

[@phos4usredeemer]

Good video. Told me exactly what I wanted to know. I have one question though. The conduit has been ran in my neighborhood, the boxes are there but there is no cable inside the boxes yet, only the orange conduit. Reason I say this is because I got an email it was now available in my neighborhood. Naturally I went ahead and ordered (tv and internet) immediately (I've been stuck with 6meg dsl and satellite tv for the last 9 years with no other options) and was given an install date of March 6th. I later received a text message that they would be coming out on March 3rd to bury a cable at my location. I'm thinking the one in the yard. Should I be concerned they've jumped the gun on taking orders in my area? I had previously received an email saying it was available weeks ago which I knew wasn't true as they were in the process of installing the conduit and boxes. I promptly received another email stating that was incorrect. Sorry for the long comment but I'm curious as to what might happen this week. Thanks again for the video!

[@BrianRobinsonCoaching]

Thanks for the positive feedback! So your situation is about like mine was. They actually came out to do the install a couple weeks before and realized that the contractors didn't bring the cable to my yard. They came out a week later, ran the cable to my yard, then the installer came the next week and I was good to go. I think you are on track now. I think you will love it. Let me know how it goes. Thanx B-Rob

[@phos4usredeemer]

Will do. Thanks for the prompt reply!

[@phos4usredeemer]

They were due to bury cable in yard today but they came yesterday. There are no issues getting service I was reassured. He pulled it from the node (my word not his) which is one lot over and across through all the orange conduit and to the more convenient hand hole (I have 2 in my yard). Anyway the cable is ran to the house and I await install on Monday. To say I'm excited would be a massive understatement. From 6meg dsl to gigabit! Whew boy this will be interesting! Thanks again for the video and reply!

[@BrianRobinsonCoaching]

How did the install go?

[@phos4usredeemer]

thisisb-rob very well! it took most of the day as he had to set up 5 TVs with uverse TV to but he had the internet up in an hour or so. first speed test was 13 ping, 942 down, 953 up! Major storm here today and was still consistent. Bliss is maybe the word. Jury still out on uverse TV but I haven't spent much time with it yet. I love it! No issues with install. Totally satisfied so far. I have the Pace modem/router. I hear the other one is junk. Still working on tweaking router trying to get open Nat for some gaming.

[@michaelhorsford403]

I had at&t for many years for most of the time I was happy until they messed up my billing for 6 months in a row. I was like I'm done

[@BrianRobinsonCoaching]

Wow, I understand that.

[@Spasticmir]

I have gigapower and had to do no digging nor any boxes in my yard. Guy came hooked acouple wires and I had fiber.

[@BrianRobinsonCoaching]

Sweet. Was it AT&T?

[@Spasticmir]

thisisb-rob yes it was. I guess because it's newer neighbor

[@BrianRobinsonCoaching]

Sweet!! Thanks for comment!

[@red2g]

Did you have comcast before?

[@Spasticmir]

Antonio Hernandez yeah had Comcast before I moved

[@CrimtideStreams]

Old vid.. but.. why the heck are you paying for 1GB if you don't have anything wired? Your max speed is going to be around 300-350 Mbps wirelessly.

[@BrianRobinsonCoaching]

Because 1GB is still cheaper than any alternative that I have in my city. There is only one other company to chose from that is more expensive.

[@DirtyFloorMatt]

Does it cost to have them install it?

[@BrianRobinsonCoaching]

I didn't have to pay anything to have it installed. Let me know if you do.

[@laserant]

You have to get a real Router use this ATT as the modem after much research get the Netgear X10 then you can experience 1 gig WiFi

[@Levi90001]

antonio campos WiFi is a bit of a hassle though. If the network card on your device you’re using (ex, a laptop) is less than a gigabit then it will max out at whatever the network’s card speed is, plus with the fact that you lose speed with WiFi in general. To get a gigabit on a device I would assume you’d need to use Ethernet on a computer with a network card that supports gigabit speeds. I don’t think mobile devices have network cards capable of these speeds but I’m not sure.

[@BrianRobinsonCoaching]

Truth. This is what I did.

[@kingspal99]

Check for radiation output dude if you get to where you have health problems well that is why

[@BrianRobinsonCoaching]

Ok. I will look into radiation. Is there more to your comment?

[@KevAdams1989]

There isn't any radiation.... the light traveling down the fiber is just a laser. If the laser can get out of the fiber then your service will not work.

[@DanielPierce]

It’s 1 Gigabit(Gb) not 1 Gigabyte(GB)

[@BrianRobinsonCoaching]

Yep, thanks.

[@J__C__]

Which is only 1000Mbps. Thats actually 1/8 of a GB. There's 8 bits in a byte. So to have gibabyte service, you'd need 8 THOUSAND Mbps.

[@SplatZS904]

I have that modem too

[@AtlantaTerry]

What modem? Computers have not used modems since they were 56K.

[@SplatZS904]

@@AtlantaTerry at&t modem

[@lesheyward7138]

ATT..they are the worst. They suck. The customer service the technical services is super terrible..don't get trust me..i am saving you a lot of heartache...FYI..

[@BrianRobinsonCoaching]

Thanks for sharing your experience. Unfortunately, they are the only 1GB provider in my area right now.

[@dayted]

When ever I play games on a console my “Nat Type” is “Moderate” if u play games u know what I’m talkin about I need some help and I do have at&t fiber

[@BrianRobinsonCoaching]

Have you tried adding UDP ports 5060, 5061, and 3074 to the NAT rules on the router? This should take you from "moderate" to "open". Let me know what you find out.

[@LS-ny5rc]

Anythings better that TWC.

[@Malouco]

This is a lie man. They told me 1g but I only get 70mb on my iPad. They say it's the iPad fault. But my Xbox says 88mb and they say it's the Xbox fault. So wtf. Are they lying to me? Should I cancel? The highest I got was direct line to my Xboxone and it was 300mb but usually 100mbs. I am sad man.

[@BrianRobinsonCoaching]

Awe man. I do know some devices aren't capable of going past certain speeds but if you got 300mb's once then 100mbs another time...thats crappy! Are you paying more than other services that could give you the same speeds? If so, I would tell them that you are going to switch if they don't fix it...but be prepared to do it if they call your bluff! Sorry your experience is bad.

[@ignacio8529]

They are actually right, the xbox isn’t capable of the high speeds same as the ipad. My pc can handle 1Gb if it is directly connected but my wifi adapter can handle a maximum of 300Mb

[@IHunger4Battle1]

Xbox One's speed test is faulty. It won't give you a consistent result. The only worthwhile speed test is Ookla's speedtest.net. That being said, an older iPad has a 2.4GHz adapter built in. 2.4GHz will normally only get speeds of around 75-100Mbps at best. 5GHz devices aren't all equal either. My iPhone 6 for example, can get around 300Mbps on wifi on a Gigabit account, while my iPhone 8 plus normally hits speeds of around 550.

I appreciate you commenting.

[@daehawk9585]

Not watched this yet but its AT&T so not expecting much....and a data cap.

[@BrianRobinsonCoaching]

Yeah, I understand that. For me, it came down to them being better than the alternatives in my area. So far that is still true and I needed the better solution because I do a lot of business online.

[@Camilo19832001]

Yeaa expect at the most 120mbps for wireless devices, regular is 80mbps...

[@dinakim4415]

Thank you!!

You're welcome! Thank you for commenting!

You can even hear the sound of radiation!

[@BrianRobinsonCoaching]

😳

[@coldshibe4161]

my internet connection is trash. i thought they gave me fiber but they didnt. they gave me shit connection and i get frequent connection loss.

[@BrianRobinsonCoaching]

Duckk. Sorry about your bad connection. Did they try to make it right?

[@JumpmanJay209]

Not gated community friendly

[@BrianRobinsonCoaching]

Thats a shame. Unfortunately its the better of what's offered for my area.
