My ex is ATT fiber which, despite having zero love for ATT, was pretty great.

They are trying to get me back...but they don't offer fiber (or any service!) at my new address.

I have zero love for ATT but love my fiber plan. I’d like to switch, since they don’t let me change the DNS server, but the plan I had before was awful and my internet dropped all the time.

Are you sure about that? I'm using the official AT&T fiber modem (Nokia white oval) and a pi.hole for DNS. I do remember needing to change a number of settings to get it to work though.

I’ll take another look at it. I had a pihole setup and tried to switch it over when I moved to ATT but couldn’t find any DNS options. After some quick Googling the unanimous answer seemed to be that ATT doesn’t let you. But I’ll look into it again, I would love to get my pihole working again.

I am using the pi hole for DHCP, maybe you just have to turn off the DHCP server on the att modem.
