UPDATE: Yesterday we switched home internet providers from AT&T to Spectrum. It's significantly cheaper than AT&T's service. So far, so good.
Thx to @artandtechnic for the guidance on my Google WiFi IP Passthrough issue.
Still not getting the max throughput via Google WiFi. But it's enough for the household now. Will keep an eye out for deals on the Nest WiFi Pro.
JumpinRudy@pabloniusmonk I tried Spectrum FTTN gigibit service. It was ok, but unreliable in my area. When there were outages notifications were vague and ETA for restoration were nonexistent. ATT fiber FTTP became available and I switched. Reliability is better and communications regarding restoration are more frequent. Spectrum has a good product but the customer service is lacking. YMMV
Ted@pabloniusmonk T-Mobile/Metronet
Anthony@pabloniusmonk Verizon Fios. One outage in over 20 years caused by Comcast and an eager trencher on my street. Poor Verizon guy was out in the cold rain splicing new fibers, but it was fixed in less than 6 hours.
Sarcasm is all I have Left@pabloniusmonk Other. We have access to two that provide over 500mbps: xfinity and kinetic. Anything less and ads make it impossible to use. We use xfinity because kinetic has been notoriously unreliable locally.

The city I live in runs its own broadband service. A couple nearby towns have copied our model for their own use. It took about 3 years after citizens voted for it to get the infrastructure built and about 2/3 of the town wired up. It’s not perfect but better than paying Comcast.
[edit] I get 10Gb service for internet, phone, and tv.

ChancerubbageOne is often limited by what local laws have blessed as the other licensed broadband providers.
Choices usually boils down to one cable isp, one telco, and perhaps a sattelite or ‘5g’ cellular solution, all with their own issues.
Community City Fiber often falters as the it is a new business weak on customer service, billing, repair and maintenance issues on one hand, and the fact that the user base can’t give up live sports or traditional live TV enough to hire more city staff and contractors.
Ted C. Howard@pabloniusmonk I’ve had AT&T Fiber for about a year now, and I’ve been satisfied with it. I switched from spectrum who charged more for worse service.
What’s been your issue?
@pabloniusmonk yeah, that’s no good.
FWIW, we have AT&T Fiber 1G service. I just use their “gateway” box as a pass through. I have my own router and access points. I just tested the speed to my phone: 630Mbps.
@tedchoward Do you use a mesh network? Honestly I didn't even know you could bring your own router device to the gateway.
@pabloniusmonk no mesh, I’ve got an Archer BE9300 WiFi router, and I have another wireless access point wired in at the other end of the house.
There was some config work I had to do to the AT&T thing to make it just pass through. I forget what I did. I did a lot of Reddit searches to figure it out.
macquilter@pabloniusmonk @qurlyjoe Recently changed to WeLink and get much better speed/reliability than the Cox connection we used to have.
