So, I got tired of Comcast making me call them every 6 months for a "promo" price, even after 15 years as a loyal auto-paying customer. And the best they could do even with a promotion was $59.99 for 150Mbps internet, which goes to $79.99 after the promo, yes, $80 for 150Mbps internet service with a monthly data cap. Ridiculous.
Anyhow, I dumped them and went to ATT Fiber. The reviews for ATT internet were about as bad as the ones for Comcast so I figured it should be good to go. Got 300Mbps for $40/mo for 12 months then it's $60. The service is much, much faster than my Comcast service - I get 400 up/down consistently, and no data cap since I also have Directv.
So, I really want to like the service, but I'm having an odd issue ever since they installed it. Throughout the day, my internet will lag for a few seconds. It doesn't disconnect completely, it simply cannot resolve DNS names is what it appears to be. It only lasts for a few seconds, 20 seconds at the most and then goes back to normal. Every so often I get a "server could not be contacted" white page on Chrome, but the gateway (modem) shows that's it's connected to the internet. I think it has something to do with either congestion on their network, or some type of DNS resolving issue.
I have the tech who installed it working on it, but don't have much faith in him. I work from home and cannot have this service cutting out all the damned time. I REALLY do not want to go back to Comcast either, but I may have no other choice. And of course, I have a house full of females all complaining about how the new wifi sucks (talk about first world problems)!
Anyhow, has anyone had this service and have you had issues with it?
