Probably cost vs need.
Fiber would cost me twice as much for 35% more speed. Meh. My internet is more than fast enough.

Same here, my fiber is $75 from AT&T, FAR TOO MUCH.
Our city is building out fiber, but it won't be here until 2026 - unless MAGA succeeds in outlawing non-corporate internet.
ps - they tried to convince me that the noise was poor plug connections, but I am skeptical

So power it off and redo the connections...
If it works, great, if not, call and complain again, I'd have done it while on the phone with them just to really force the issue.

I did this, and there was no noise until abour 5 minutes after I hung up. It comes and goes at random.
Would AT&T punish me for buying my own modem router and plugging it in to their ONT? Is the BGW210-700 still a decent piece of gear?
Thank you for your help.
