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?

No problems here with AT&T fiber. Yes, you do need their box (the bypass isn't even possible yet on their new model that they seem to be installing everywhere now). But the IP passthrough works well enough for me so that my router gets the public IP and I can connect to it using any service I've tried to host. I make the best of it by using their wifi (which on the BGW320 is pretty decent) for untrusted devices & iot stuff.

Oh, and I use DDNS, but I have never had the public IP change on me.
