I'm very happy with Google Fiber here in San Antonio, even though I had AT&T gigabit fiber before. I've never had an outage, we have IPv6, and the internet's so fast that the bottleneck is my home router rather than the actual connection.
Plus, the connection is dug in through the ground instead of run from a telephone pole like AT&T's was, so it's less prone to interference by trees and squirrels
I'm honestly surprised that our city is so well wired up that I have the choice of two gigabit providers. We aren't a tech hub or anything like that. I wonder why this location seems to be such a competitive market for ISPs. We have other big ones like Spectrum, but there's even a local provider (although, I guess they were acquired recently, so not quite local anymore): https://www.astound.com/texas/
