I had a nice chat with the AT&T tech out to do some cable maintenance on
my street. Very candid, talked about the price increases after the first
year (AT&T marketing is very cloudy concerning the non-promo price)

Mostly, I wanted to talk to him about what they would and wouldn't be
able to do as part of the install and found out what fiber they need. I
think I can have them hand off the fiber at an NI alongside my house and
get into my office space with a single hole - or I may want to bring it
in another way and have my cable guy run the cable under the house to
make it cleaner.

I'm looking forward to symmetric bandwidth, been wanting to back up my
NAS to the cloud for some time, but at 40mbps upload speed with
bandwidth caps, not going to go for it.
