Upgrade to Fiber internet 2 Months Ago by Dani Please help me come up with a compelling argument to convince my husband to spend an additional $200/month on AT&T Fiber Internet with 5Gbps download / 5 Gbps upload. We currently have Comcast Xfinity cable with 1.2Gbps download and something like 35 Mbps upload. Xfinity has a 2Gbps plan we could potentially upgrade to. I'm not willing to … Re: Upgrade to Fiber internet 2 Months Ago by rproffitt My ATT story. Moved from MA to CA and needed to get the apartment setup. The apartment complex was an ATT only zone. Fine. Call ATT and their phone system kept routing me to their Massachusetts offices. No one at ATT could override that or forward me to the right office. OK, find the local ATT store and go in. Much confusion at their counter … Re: Upgrade to Fiber internet 2 Months Ago by Dani In NY, I had Spectrum cable at home, and Verizon FiOS fiber at my office. In CA, I started with Xfinity cable. Just before COVID, we moved into a townhouse that had a spotty connection that became unbearably inconsistent. Apple ended up paying for us to have AT&T fiber because my husband is an engineering manager there, and they needed their… Re: Upgrade to Fiber internet 2 Months Ago by Salem And you need 5Gbps because...? > AT&T just became in our neighborhood available and I'd love to go back to it. Yeah, I'd be letting the neighbours be the guinea pigs. I have little doubt that the "it's available" came from AT&T marketing department as soon as someone in provisioning said "um, maybe". Even if … Re: Upgrade to Fiber internet 2 Months Ago by Dani > And you need 5Gbps because...? Awaiting suggestions. Re: Upgrade to Fiber internet 2 Months Ago by Salem Dunno - could you run Daniweb at home with that kind of bandwidth and save a chunk on data centre fees? Or would something like that fall foul of the Terms of Service and/or Acceptable Use Policy? Re: Upgrade to Fiber internet 2 Months Ago by Reverend Jim >Awaiting suggestions. Sounds like you want it because you want it and can't think of a reason to justify it. Can you think of any ways in which it would make your life easier? How much time would it actually save you and how often would it make a noticeable difference? Advertised speed is often much greater than actual speed. As you are well… Re: Upgrade to Fiber internet 2 Months Ago by Dani > Dunno - could you run Daniweb at home with that kind of bandwidth and save a chunk on data centre fees? > > Or would something like that fall foul of the Terms of Service and/or Acceptable Use Policy? > Running servers is allowable. Whether or not the servers can be for business purposes with a home plan, I have not yet … Re: Upgrade to Fiber internet 2 Months Ago by Reverend Jim I hadn't considered that you could host Daniweb from your home. That would certainly make it more convenient. Would the savings from not having to pay a company to host Daniweb be the same or more than the upgrade and additional power costs for the home servers? Re: Upgrade to Fiber internet 2 Months Ago by Dani > I hadn't considered that you could host Daniweb from your home. That would certainly make it more convenient. While it might *technically* be possible to host DaniWeb from my home, it would not be practical. Firstly, I did some research since yesterday, and it seems against the AT&T terms of service to have servers for a for-profit … Re: Upgrade to Fiber internet 1 Month Ago by Dani Soooo ... looks like we're getting AT&T Fiber installed this Saturday. To make a long story short, very shortly after I posted this topic, we began repeatedly having issues with Xfinity service going in and out. Every time we went to report an outage, Xfinity either completely denied that there was an outage and wouldn't let us report it (… Re: Upgrade to Fiber internet 1 Month Ago by Reverend Jim Had a similar experience with Bell. They wanted me to pay for them to fix a problem with major static on my phone line. Instead I switched to Shaw for internet, TV and phone and have had great service with them ever since. I've had Bell come to my door a few times to get me to switch back and I told them every time no because their customer service… Re: Upgrade to Fiber internet 1 Month Ago by Dani First post from my new (~2 minutes old) 5Gbps fiber connection. :) Re: Upgrade to Fiber internet 1 Month Ago by Dani > Please help me come up with a compelling argument to convince my husband to spend an additional $200/month on AT&T Fiber Internet with 5Gbps download / 5 Gbps upload. It turns out we were able to work with Xfinity's retention team so that the TV plan ended up costing less than we were expecting. We're paying only $100/month more than we… WAN Help 18 Years Ago by TheNSS My friend and I have been trying to setup a wan forever, but we just can't get it.

Thanks, Howard Re: WAN Help 18 Years Ago by dr gummi You need to tell us a lot about both your network, and his, before anyone can answer the question(s). What conenciton, what router or modem, what platform, what security... etc etc Re: WAN Help 18 Years Ago by TheNSS Okay, I have a WGT624 v3 netgear router. My isp is comcast. I have several computers in my network, including an xbox. I just have the windows firewall security and my router's firewall. My friend has a belkin router, don't know the model, and his isp is comcast too. So could he just connect to my network using VPN? We're both using xp home. Re: WAN Help 18 Years Ago by dr gummi no, he can't just connect. Several things are in the way. 1) Comcast. Do they allow clients to route to one another? Quite a few ISPs don't, because this is how viruses spread. 2) ideally the two of you need two different IP ranges - if you are 192.168.1.x internally, then he needs to be 192.168.2.x 3) your routers need to pass packets to and … Re: WAN Help 18 Years Ago by TheNSS i'm not sure comcast allows this. His ip range is 192.168.2.x and mine is 192.168.1.x, now how do you do the rest? Re: WAN Help 18 Years Ago by dr gummi you do the rest by: - getting an ISP that allows you to do it. Their help-desk should tell you if this is the case, or not. - having routers which include VPN capability and come with the relevant instructions - having ISP accounts which provide reasonably well-fixed addresses. Real, eternally fixed static IP costs extra, but most ISPs don't … Re: wan select? 19 Years Ago by Squirty [QUOTE=alc6379]Are you talking about the WAN side of the router?
