Recent AT&T Gigapower experiences?

The last thread I found on here was fairly old, so I was wondering if anyone can comment on how Gigapower is now. Are the speeds good and consistent? How about ping and line quality for gaming? Right now I play Overwatch and on Comcast some servers are giving me 70-75ms ping due to seemingly wanting to route to East coast before heading across the US. Ironically if I go to my parent's home where they have entouch I get 35-40ms.

Depends on your plan. There is a promotion that gives you unlimited data.

It's awesome. When I wire in, I get near gigabit speeds. My wifi is the weak link, normally. I work from home and us the net constantly, so any hiccup would be noticeable. It is very stable and fast.

I have Gigapower and play overwatch on PC via a hard-wired connection. Ping will be 29-40 consistently for that game.

2ms if you run a Speedtest.

do you have the 5268ac gateway? i just got it installed but my connection keeps stalling randomly. i noticed this in overwatch when it would randomly fail to connect to servers. pages would also randomly fail to connect. i even have this issue when browsing the gateway page (192.168.1.254). this is all via wifi at the moment.

You're not using your own router are you? I have the nvg599 not the 5268

I've had the 100 up/down plan since about July. Consistently 125 up and down. Ping is typically 1 ms. Similar scores on Speedtest and Fast, although Fast shows slightly slower. http://beta.speedtest.net/result/6106063415.png

Cool thanks all, I went ahead and placed an order for the gigabit plan. Hopefully the install goes smooth.

West Oak Forest here... they just hung Fiber in our rear easement a couple weeks ago. Any idea what to expect on timing for it to be up and running? Is it much more expensive than typical internet? Will it replace U-verse, or is it just the internet side of things?

A few months until they put it in the system, it's been on the pole outside my house for months and they finally turned it on this week. Put an order in but the installer didn't show..
