Hi, I'd love to hear people's take on AT&T Fiber. I'm on Comcast, and
I need a service with symmetrical (or close to it) speeds and no
bandwidth cap (or something greater than 1.2tb/month.

I work from home and run servers, would like to have some ports open to
my home network.

What equipment did they install? It looks like some installs get an
exterior fiber terminator then run copper into the house to a wifi
modem. Others look like they install the terminator inside. Which did
you get? Is there an all-in-one solution that combines the fiber
terminator with the modem?

Is there an equipment rental cost like with comcast's cable modems?

How was the installation? Did it go as planned? How was any entrance
into your house handled? I have a very specific place I'd like the cable
to come in, thankfully it's at the front of the house and near where the
AT&T copper comes in.

Is there anything AT&T wouldn't do on the install and require you to
bring in a third party for it?

Were they communicative in planning before the install date or did they
try to knock everything out once they came out?

Do you have access to the wifi modem to create port forward rules? Or
are they able to put it into bridge mode and pass the IP to your router?
I've heard them talk about IP passthrough, sounds like  the same thing?

Do they offer multiple IP addresses?

Do you have phone service at home, and how do you manage it? My mom had
Ooma and I'm using google voice and Voip.MS with 2 SIP phones, am
curious about alternatives.

Thanks for any and all info.
