Dan, That’s AT&T’s new Giga-whatever (-Fiber, -Power, -Whatevertheyarecalllingitthisweek) service.
I saw AT&T construction crews running stuff in my neighborhood and stopped to talk to the guys about it and they admitted it was fiber. When I heard it was available I was the second person in my neighborhood to be hooked up (I’d like to meet the first!). It's fiber from the pole to a box on the side of the house, and then a fiber that runs under the house (crawlspace) and comes up in my closet to a box in my network distribution panel. It’s ethernet from there to the Uverse modem which connects to my router, then to a switch and back out the distribution panel. “Gigabit" connections all the way from the central office to my computer. Yup! Jonathan P.S. They say that they can’t do anything about my download speeds, but that it falls within their “guidelines.” But it’s more than twice as fast as my Insight was, so I’ll take it. Having an upload that is more than 40 times Insight, though, is just insane. It means that people can access FileMaker apps from my server (during development and testing) at speeds only limited by their download capability, which is usually plenty good enough. > On Oct 14, 2017, at 12:00 PM, Dan <[email protected]> wrote: > > Do tell, what service are you using to get such speeds?
