<html><head></head><body>The connectivity being solid is a big plus. I've had 3 outages in 10 years with comcast. One was my typo in the firewall and their engineer sat on the phone testing packets with me. The second was a storm that dropped a tree across wires ripping down everything. The last one was last week. No idea what that was. I called, they beat the sla by an hour. Something on their end. In fact, the automated calling process informed me they knew of an outage impacting my service as soon as I connected. Got the "all clear" text about 3 hours later.<br><br>I will pursue this with more data from at&t.

<div dir="ltr">That was the base price I paid for my AT&T GigaPower 1GB fiber connection out in Paulding County. $60/month for the service and then I paid an extra $15 to have static IP block. After the first year it went up $20 as the discount pricing I signed up for was $20/month off for the first year and an additional $20 off for the life of my service. So it then went to $80/month plus the $15/month for the static IP block. I didn't have any issues with the connectivity. I did have some issues working to put my network behind their router using my Cisco ASA 55xx but once I had that worked out it was solid.<div><br></div><div>Now I'm doing in Osceola County Florida and my only option is Spectrum at $100+/month for comparable bandwidth and without the static IP block as I don't have my servers in-house any more.</div></div><br><div class="gmail_quote"><div dir="ltr" class="gmail_attr">On Fri, Jul 17, 2020 at 7:21 PM Jim Kinney via Ale <<a href="mailto:ale@ale.org">ale@ale.org</a>> wrote:<br></div><blockquote class="gmail_quote" style="margin:0px 0px 0px 0.8ex;border-left:1px solid rgb(204,204,204);padding-left:1ex">I'm certain they will screw up something but that's a good price.
