Just got a notice in the mail that my house is now eligible for AT&T fiber! I currently have Xfinity 1Gb, which is mostly fine except the upload speeds are awful and I am always over the data cap so I needed unlimited service which was expensive. If I get fiber I can bundle with my existing wireless for a pretty good discount.

I have some questions and have Googled a bit, but since this is Palo Alto I'm guessing more than a few of you already have service and can speak to how it is actually performing here:

Most importantly: for the 1Gb/2Gb/s plans, are you actually seeing that upload and download (symmetric) over ethernet? I see various reports on this but it looks like it's usually people that don't understand what they are doing and are on WiFi. I have 2.5Gb/s ethernet backhaul throughout the entire house. I do get a solid 1Gb/s download from Xfinity but the upload is through a straw.

Are there truly no data caps? I routinely hit > 1TB/mo download because of work (docker images... don't ask...) and if I had gigabit upload that would open a lot of options to me. I just don't want to find out the hard way that there are super-secret caps they don't want to talk about, or get a call telling me I need to switch to their business plan (*cough* xfinity) after they have already drilled into the side of my house.

Finally, it looks like they are installing the BGW-320 and you have no choice? Will it play nicely with my Eero gateway, or will I have to put my Eero in bridging mode and lose the parental control features, etc.? My cable modem just gives me a Xfinity IP address and the Eero takes it from there. I'm imagining I will eventually upgrade to the 2.5Gb/s plan Eero 7 series, but not for a while.
