At least where I am in SoCal, AT&T literally just deployed fiber with plans up to 5 gigabit/s. I'm so glad to be leaving Spectrum behind, because when moving here I never thought I'd have a cable Internet provider that made me miss Comcast...

So hopefully you have some other options soon. :)

Saw your comment, went to my ATT internet account, and just upgraded from 1k to 5k! I’m so happy, thanks!

So, interesting stuff! I had my installation appointment, the guy came out and proceeded to tell me that the 5k plan would be useless to me. I asked why - apparently switches have not progressed at the same speed. Latest MBPs for example only support up to ~1300Mbps via wifi (however could support up to 10Gb bandwidth via Ethernet.) Most of my devices I use via wifi anyways. I have 1 Pi plugged in. I guess most hardware only has a 1k switch in it these days?

With that new info, I decided to stick to my 1k plan until more hardware catches up.
