Deal Details
It looks like AT&T may be starting a new promotion for the start of the month. I just went to my account to see what is offered since my 100mbps fiber plan is about up. Only 100mbps($45/mo) and 1000mbps($39.99/mo) is offered, no 300mbps is offered, but it was available a day ago for $40, and I saw an ad for it on TV today. If you have AT&T internet, check the plans offered in your account dashboard. There is no mention of equipment charges, but this is for a bundle. Southern states.

Well i didn't get the $40 offer but I did get $50 with no equipment fee. Currently had the original $70 for a year from 7 months ago and had 5 months left on that plan. The rep in chat was able to make the adjustment. Can't believe getting gigabit fiber now for $50. At $70 was pretty good, at $50 is unreal.

About to get AT&T fiber 1000 installed this week, why do they make using your own Wifi router so damn difficult? For $10 bucks a month, makes no sense, they could just say the $10 fee is for the ONT. What am I missing?
You need their router to authenticate but you can use your own and put theirs in bypass. That's how I've been running it

Was just told by CS that the $10 equipment waiver for new customers promo they currently have on their site (the lower part of the attached screen grab) doesn't apply to new Fiber 1000 customers so those that were able to get CS to apply for you were YMMV. I let her know how deceptive that promo splash was and she agreed.

For existing customers, CS said the equipment fee should be grandfathered (meaning no charge) as of right now even if you extend to a new promo contract period but she wouldn't tell me for how long that policy would last. I guess their intent was to start charging for the equipment last year for new customers and then eventually do it to existing customers later on when their contract runs out. Probably just the grace period at the moment.

Can you use a second Wifi router (Access point) connected via e-net cable to the the AT&T Gateway-modem/router? I have to get coverage in the far area of my house.
You can find the details of how to do this in ATT forum. You can see an example here [att.com]

The modem cum router has serious issues with router functions. It's slow and used to disconnect very often.

Do you know if using AT&T's router allows them to see what you are searching/downloading?

If yes, does having it set so you can use your own router through pass-through limit what they can see?

Unless your data is encrypted end to end or through a vpn, your isp (or anyone that intercepts) can see what you're transferring through their network regardless of what router you use. I even have my doubts that encryption or vpn is enough these days since I'm not convinced either of those can't be compromised itself. Those things will provide you 99% privacy put I wouldn't ever say 100%.

I guess I should clarify. I've been on Spectrum and have had no issues. I've been using their modem with my router.

With AT&T, I would be using the modem and router from them.

Would this be any less secure?

less secure... probably not, should be no different than with Spectrum's modem and your router setup you had before. the only thing you're really giving up with ATT using their modem and router combo is hardware flexibility. as others have stated, you can completely bypass and make their modem/router box act as just a modem and use your own router with it. so basically replicating what you're used with Spectrum. I'm actually using ATT's modem/router with my service since their gear is actually almost a decade newer than what I had and I probably won't change until Wifi 6 gear (Wireless AX) is more mainstream and affordable. My old stuff was Wifi 4 class (single band Wireless N) and ATT's stuff is Wifi 5 (dual band Wireless AC) class.

I'm a new Fiber 1000 customer and I'm getting this, supposedly:
Online only! $10/mo. off equipment fee for 12 mos. After 12 mos, then-prevailing fee applies unless service is cancelled. negative dollar 10 per month -10.00/mo.

Use Smart Home Manager app they provide and see which devices are using that much data.

I just ordered online 50 Mbps (only thing available at my address) for $49 with the $10 equip fee waived and $250 in gift cards, if they come through. Took screenshots. Been waiting for a good package offer to switch away from $70/mo spectrum. I selected "self install" but my account says on one screen I have an installation appointment Monday between 5-7, and on another screen it says between 1-3. I have no idea what to expect. Welcome to AT&T. Also, TBD is whether my household usage is under 1 TB/mo.

Thanks op, I can't say how much I appreciate your post- I got the Giga fiber with same price as 100Mbps, and no data cap any more!
