OMG, just had a long confusing conversation with a site about "where is our router." Apparently the AT&T tech was there trying to hook up service and install their router. Except, they didn't bring a router and no one shipped us one that we know of.
Hours of follow up later... router was shipped long ago, to a different company. Oops.
I don't order AT&T routers with fiber service. I specifically decline them.
I didn't want to, but there was no cost savings to skipping it.
sunk cost?

Actually - there is cost - it's cost in complexity.

To an extent, yes. But there is a benefit, too. They only support you fully if you deploy the router.

What is there to support? AT&T fiber is Ethernet hand-off. You plug in your router, set the static IP and done. In the extreme rare case that something has to be "proved", you grab a laptop plug it in and set the IP.
And, there absolutely IS a cost difference. Because you don't see it, means you did not order real business service.

We got it priced both ways in our case, and there was a different fee added on to offset removing the router.
