That's quite a shame, our area recently got AT&T fiber and I was excited to move off Comcast with the maximum of 35mbps up I get.

I haven't had any trouble with AT&T fiber. My bandwidth has never been capped. I don't run public servers from my home, but I do have family who stream from a Plex server and it's never been an issue.

I bypass the AT&T router: https://github.com/jaysoffian/eap_proxy

(I'm a crazy person so I also relocated their ONT to inside my home to keep it out of the summer temperatures.)

I'm 90% satisfied with mine:

* 500/500 for $60, can go up 5gbps symmetrical if I wanted

* While not advertised as static, I've had the same IPv4 IP since I checked a year ago

* No significant downtime

* The provided router has a single 2.5gbps port and has 802.11ax

Disatisfied:

* The ONT and gateway is a Nokia BGW320 provided by AT&T that I must have. I cannot provide my own. There are some work-arounds with pfsense [1] and bridging 802.1X traffic.

* The Nokia ONT/Gateway kinda sucks and it's ARP tables fill up and the general networking of it are fairly basic and what you'd expect for some $30 TP-Link.

* I'm fairly confidant that AT&T uses CGNAT. I haven't been able to get Plex remote access to work correctly.
