ATT/GFiber and CGNat (programming.dev)

I have ATT 1gb fiber at the moment but I was looking to upgrade to 2gb. I haven’t been paying attention and it turns out I can do that with either ATT or google fiber and it would cost $10 less than I am currently paying. My only concern is I don’t want to upgrade to find myself behind a CGNat and wanted to know if either of them implement it. Otherwise I’ve had no problems running my homelab off my current att fiber plan.

Also question to anyone with google fiber, are there any issues related to running a homelab that you’ve run into?

Zero issues (other than an IPv6 annoyance—see below) for me running a homelab with Google Fiber.

I switched from ATT Fiber because I really hated using their box (I bypassed it with an EAP proxy but it was brittle and it still had to be plugged in). Google Fiber doesn’t require that so you can plug your own router directly into the ONT.

I’ve had the same IPv4 address since I signed up, but IPv6 prefixes do seem to change every so often (which is baffling to me—seems like it’d be easier to leave the IPv6 prefixes alone vs keeping a static IPv4).
