My Google Fiber Journey — Part 1
Currently I have AT&T fiber and absolutely love it, I don’t think I can actually recall when/if there has been an outage. I have had the service for over 2 years now at this point. I currently have the 1Gbps/1Gbps plan. My infrastructure at my house starts with my UDM-Pro from Unifi.
I love this device, it is my current gateway. My AT&T Fiber connection comes Into my house and terminates in the ONT (basic media conversation device) and converts into a copper connection which is then plugged into my UDM-Pro. You might be asking yourself why and how I am not using my AT&T gateway that they provide. Net is it’s a horrible device, there is a limit on the number of open connections and the device eventually locks up and needs reboots. To avoid that there is multiple documented ways on bypassing the AT&T gateway and connecting directly to the AT&T ONT. Here is the method I used. There are many others but this seems to the be fastest and most reliable means without bridging any connections.
Google Fiber is currently being installed in my neighborhood and I can’t wait for the day to sign up!
