After the AT&T fiber installer was done laying in the 1Gb symmetrical fiber connection to our place, we ran a speedtest on my main box. It produced near-gigabit results.

The installer said, “Yours is the only home setup I’ve actually seen where the customer has the right everything to get real gigabit, even though they order it anyway.”

I work in IT. What kind of idiot would I be if I order a gigabit line and couldn’t use it? The kind of idiot AT&T likes, probably.

Anyway, I’d order 10Gb if they’d sell it to me. (Though I’d have to upgrade a few things then.)
