This is the first outage in almost 5 years. Even though it was an inconvience, I can't complain with the uptime vs outage ratio.

I work from home full-time so this is extremely important.

Yeah, sounds like it was a biggie. I work from home, too. I have
Xfinity, and have gotten used to once a week having to power-cycle my
router. I have a deal for the next 12 months due to a billing issue of
theirs, we''ll see what happens at the end of it. I'm paying $120/month
for phone, internet and cable with a DVR now.

I'm working with Comcast on a deal for my offices at work, accidentally
called them Xfinity. They were quick to correct me that they're a
different organization. :)

could you put your own pole up at a halfway point? offer to pay for the little extra cable that is required if it's not quite as direct as
they'd usually run it? maybe throw a light on there and point it at the driveway hehe

I don't use AT&T's copper coming into the house any more, it looks like
I've got a little bit more clearance than my neighbors from how their
copper runs. I'd need to figure out how to get from the top of my roof
into my office, though. I may order AT&T fiber alongside Comcast just
to try it out.

Yeah so you get it! Working from home we gotta have the internet!!

As much as a PITA as it was, 1 time in almost 5 years I really can't complain. We found out it was from the consturction crew (road work - lane widening) being done next to our neighborhood and an excavator knocked a pole over.

So technically, not even AT&T fault. Hope you find something that works well!

I have been very happy with the AT&T fiber.

I thought they were the same company. That they had switched their name several years back.
