10 bucks isnt for the router, its not even for the modem - its for the Fiber to ethernet converter box that you cannot buy. Thats why even if you have your own compatible modem/router they can still charge you the $10.
Sucks at my place
AT&T Fiber isn't available at your address. Good news, though! You still can get reliable, fast AT&T internet. Check out your available speed below
Internet 18
Data overage charges waivedData overage charges waived
Speeds up to
18MbpsSpeeds up to
$49.99/mo./mo Price for 12 months
No annual contract. Price plus taxes & $10/mo. equip fee. Incl 1TB data/mo. $10 chrg for each add'l 50GB (up to $100/mo)
is there anyway to get the equipment fee waived as a new customer? Maybe by calling?
ATT customer service is my nightmare, wireless, Internet, TV...all of them.
They're instructed to be great to new customers to hook you in. Once I've been a customer, its back to beg and claw for everything or any bill credit or adjustment -- if you have the hour upon hour to spend on hold until they finally get it right.
I've dealt with Verizon wireless, Comcast, Dish Network...none of which are perfect, but all of them are leaps and bounds better that AT&T in my experience. I'm sure AT&T's individual people are nice enough, but organizationally, the business relationship was ATTrocious & not worth any savings to be garnered.
I just recently signed up and got it with the $100 visa GC and promo rate of $39.99 with the $10 eqp fee included.
HOWEVER the BGW210-700 gateway is TRASH. It works perfect on wired but when you toss in a few wireless devices it struggles to manage the load. In front of the modem the most I can get in 5ghz is 200mbps with various devices.
The other problem it seems to have is that it suffers from slow DNS responses. Every day browsing seems to take a hit and pages load slow. (No option to configure on the gateway but on devices like iPhones you can manually change it)
Put the modem in IP Passthrough (no true bridge mode option) and I got double NATed on my R6700. Played with all the settings and nothing. One solution I found was to set the static WAN IP to my public IP (which is being passed through by the att gateway) but the problem is eventually that address will change unless you have a static IP from ATT which costs extra.
In conclusion, the gateway is trash, the service is decent (due to the gateway) and I'm probably going to keep it since I have no other internet options in my neighborhood.

I am also wondering how this will play with my existing r7000 router. I'm assuming that you can disable the wireless on the gateway and continue using my own router if the built in one proves to be crappy? I need to look up specs on the gateway.
if its good enough may just table my router anyways until i can get into wifi6/e later on

I'm concerned abut this ATT Router as well, hopefully it's not as bad as it was described. I mean we're paying $120 a year for it. Worse case scenario is we can bridge it/ip pass through to another better router, more of a hassle since there are now 2 routers but oh well.
Sorry if this is a stupid question but been wanting to cut my tv internet package at Spectrum for a long time now. I don't have any movie channels and down to just super basic channels but paying $150. So how do you watch tv with just internet service? My daughter has the Netflix and HULU but once the tv package is gone are you just watching Netflix and no news or basic tv?

There are several different ways one of them is streaming TV like sling TV, which is cheaper than cable tv. Also there is over the air antenna which you buy and put on your roof and get FREE digital TV signal to your TV, a bit more work but worth it in my opinion.
I'm trying to call the 800 288 2020 number but I guess they are closed on Sunday, anyone have maybe another number I could call or maybe a chat option?
I was on third month of 12 month contract for 300mbps for $50. I called into customer service and was told that I was not eligible for the new promo since it was only for new customers. I have been a customer for 15 months now. I kindly asked for retention dept and was transferred. I asked about the promo and rep said no problem. While I was on the call, rep changed my plan to $49.99 1gbps plan with HBO Max. I logged into my account and saw the new plan was added and it said that I had 13 months left on the new plan.
Thank you again OP for the tip.
