AT&T confirmed the install.. tomorrow is when the fiber comes.
Still trying to get my head around 300Mb broadband. I mean, I remember 300 baud modems, 2Mbit arcnet, and 10Mbit ethernet. Data from NASA's Mars spacecraft comes down at around 6Mb. My current DSL is about 10 (upgraded from 56kb dialup). 300Mb be like...

The line I have just recently got upgraded from 4 (yeah I know, who knew something like that still existed) to around 50. To be honest though I didn't notice too much of a difference when it comes to downloads. Naturally I download stuff a lot faster, but I didn't really download much anyway (except for 'streaming' in a way). Biggest change that I personally noticed was in upload speed when uploading stuff for work or as online backups. Something that took hours now takes minutes, which is great
Let us know what you think after you have used it! -
My uplink on the DSL is abysmal, relatively speaking... just 1.2Mb/s. Ok for sending email, but that's about it. Most of the DSL bandwidth is allocated to the downlink.
Update on the fiber install: AT&T missed their installation window. This means no fiber yet.
I got a robocall from AT&T informing me of the news and I immediately tried calling back to see if I have to reschedule or what, but all I got was a message saying to call back during business hours. Looks like I'll probably have to wait until Monday at least. 
Unless the guy just shows up tomorrow. We'll see.
