ATT brought 1gig fiber to my neighborhood (probably because I'm in NASA's backyard). I have gig symmetrical unlimited for $70 a month. Comcast of course tries to offer the same but with cable and you and I both know it wont be symmetrical, or anywhere close to the speed you pay for. It's funny how quickly Comcast will bend when there is a competitor in the area. Just down the street where there is no fiber they will gladly charge you $100 a month for 50 meg down.
- tehlike 7y agoA few months back, i switched to att fiber for 70$, and called comcast to cancel it. They said they will match the price, and that my att installation has 30 day free cancellation period and i should really take that. Give it to me for 35, then i would consider.
- post_break 7y agoI'd rather pay more money to a competitor than stay with comcast at this point.

- post_break 7y agoI'm in Texas, no Sonic here.
- toast0 7y agoWhere you in Google's abandoned list of chosen city/metro areas? About 6 months after that list came out, AT&Ts fiber list came out and there was a lot of overlap, and then Google was like hmm, maybe wireless?

- Beermotor 7y agoGoogle started offering service in Huntsville in 2018 and from what I understand it is a solid gigabit symmetrical. Huntsville just happened to have dark fiber (courtesy of the late KMC) to a good portion of the city and that helped speed the roll-out.
