AT&T is scraping the absolute bottom of the barrel with the contractors they're hiring to put in their conduit and fiber. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I was referring to the crews they hire to put their lines into the ground as they upgrade their existing plant. I know an absolute ton of people in my area are swapping to their service though. From what I understand they're running some pretty **** good deals right now for gigapower. Their goal is to have fiber/gigapower available everywhere in Ga by 2020.

falconstwopercentsized Posted August 18, 2016 Author Share Posted August 18, 2016 what companies are att using to lay the optics? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's a HUGE project so there are new subcontractors popping up every day because their demand for excavators passed supply quite awhile back.

Statick Posted August 18, 2016 Share Posted August 18, 2016 We have fiber now for our phone and internet, but we're going back to cable. The fiber lines for CenturyLink are unstable and, worst of all, their technicians have no idea about how to deal with immediate outages. My wife works from home and she can't afford for the internet to keep dropping for unknown reasons. So until they get their sh*t together on fiber optics repair, we're going back to TimeWarner for our internet and phone. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Flip Flop Posted August 18, 2016 Share Posted August 18, 2016 We have Gigapower. I get about 930mbps up and down. We pay $180/mo for internet and cable. The service is solid. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
