Unless it runs through a different junction box, which it might, it wouldn't matter. The tech said as much, that they could upgrade my plan for free, but it wouldn't make a difference. The node is literally on top of the pole outside my house and there doesn't seem to be a way around it.
The AT&T internet plan seems sufficient for my usage. It's capped at 100Mbps, which I understand to be a limit, at least in part, of running over copper phone lines. I get about 20Mbps up pretty consistently, which is enough. Apparently fiber in my neighborhood is right around the corner (literally, my neighbors have it), but we probably won't live here when it arrives.
On a side note, AT&T threw in free install, $150 in gift cards, and a free 24" Samsung LCD. All for $45/mo no contract service. Made it real easy to switch, though I would've anyway.
