    171 USD/month for Fiber 1000/1000 (no data cap) and TV from ATT. Have certainly reached advertised speeds, but I'm using their modem as a pass through only (using Ubiquiti gear behind the ATT modem). Haven't really had any issues at all (in the last two years) in terms of reliability and consistency.

    They did, at a point when I first signed up years ago, have substantial issues that appeared to be with their peering relationship to some CDNs. Netflix or Youtube would struggle massively (but via another telco at the same time would work perfectly), but I could still pull substantial data rates from other data sources. I haven't experienced this issue for some time now though.

    I definitely agree that they've made significant improvements to gameplay, and that the environment is probably the most well "developed" since AC2 and Brotherhood.

    That said, it seems like the writing has taken a hit in Ubi titles over the last few years (maybe I'm just looking at previous titles through rose colored glasses). Usually a game with sub-par gameplay will hold me through with a compelling story, but this was the inverse. I enjoyed the gameplay immensely, but I couldn't for the life of me begin to care about the characters.
