Help picking Fiber ISP?

I'm looking for 1Gig fiber in my area after a prolonged outage with my Verizon 5G Home and 5G Cellular this week axed my bandwidth down to 1-10Gb Upload and I had basically no usable Internet all week (and it still isn't back to normal)

I have 3 providers in the area and called all for offers....

AT&T Fiber - 1Gig ($30/mo first year, then $80/mo)

Ting Fiber - 2Gig only ($90/mo)

EarthLink - 1 Gig ($60/mo first 6mo, then $80/mo)

Is there anything majorly wrong about AT&T as an ISP that should prevent me from taking the deal? Only issue is I'm worried about packaging my ISP and Cell Provider since that's why I had no internet this week, but I'm assuming since Fiber and 5G will be on different infrastructure I won't have to worry about simultaneous outages as much. My main criteria are...

-Use my own router at least with passthrough

-Maintain high privacy, planning on using wireguard.

-Optimal bandwidth for home networking.

Thank you!

Verizon Speeds cut to 1%

Anyone else getting dial up speeds right now from Verizon? I've not had decent Internet since Sunday. Literally just switched to 5G Home and regretting bundling.

I have a entry hall in my home and I don't know what to do with it since it's about as wide as the door is. I'm going for a kind of "Brutalist"/Organic Modern/70s Modernist look with lots of dark colors and natural materials that contrast against the tan walls. Any recommendations on how to bring some life to this space without cluttering the walkway?
