Yes, but Zoom and Netflix will work great on 50% or 25% of 1gbps. Heck, they'll work great with 5% of 1gbps. I am sure that AT&T's CPE equipment is lackluster

I am sure that AT&T's CPE equipment is lackluster, but that doesn't mean it won't work to do basic tasks to the satisfaction of a home user.
- x0x0 3y agoI dunno what to say, but it does not do basic tasks to the satisfaction of people who buy 1gb internet connections. I can tell you from experience that large downloads and uploads cause latency-sensitive applications to stutter in a way that is fixed by using ubiquiti gear. In your defense, you did say non-technical household, but I dunno -- I don't think that wanting to use, eg, backblaze for backup and not have that tank zoom makes you a technical household.
