I need to port forward Blockland, really bad so I can host servers, and even go on v20

you may not be able to, depending on how they have that set up. but it doesn't make much difference, I doubt you'd be able to host very well on a cell network anyway
you can still try though. find your router's model number (assuming you have one), and google that model number followed by "port forward"

AT&T provides landline internet

AT&T provides landline internet

yeah though it's probably going to be ADSL with abysmal upload speeds and mediocre download speeds, definitely not good for hosting. worth giving a shot i suppose though, but you might want to do a speedtest beforehand.

i think they do actually provide somwhat decent service now but it'd depend on OP's plan

I forgot that "landline" specifically means phone line. They also have broadband, fiber, etc.
They are a normal ISP, they're not solely a cell company.

landline?
landline internet
I really doubt that

but assuming you mean cable internet then oh
that seems kind of weird though considering they bought directv. conflicting interests a bit, I'd say

my grandparents have AT&T ADSL, so it's definitely a thing. in my area i'm pretty sure they do have fiber but idk for sure cus they Suck.

but they do definitely provide a router that should be capable of port forwarding

I had a dumpy router+modem combo thing provided by time warner once and they made me pay like $10 monthly to make the wifi capabilities that it had either way work, and I didn't even realize they were doing that, so now I just always expect things like that from ISP-provided routers. and just whatever they can to make sure the user has to spend money somehow to make stuff work. it ps me o. I wouldn't be surprised if some such routers didn't even let the user edit the settings

I mean for sp0nge80b it's still a good idea to try but I'm explaining why I'm wary

AT&T provided a stuff potato combo router for my grandparents too. idk if they had to pay extra for anything but it had problems with randomly disallowing wireless devices to connect after a certain number or something which i could never figure out how to fix. it definitely did allow the user to change settings tho, and i'm also pretty sure it allowed port forwarding. but i think they've since moved away from that particular model, hopefully to a better one, but duno

my experience with the equipment that charter spectrum gave us has been pretty good though. the router they provide is actually pretty Nice, and there haven't been any problems with the modem so far. haven't had so much luck before in the past. i think when we had mediacom in a stuff tiny town they actually didn't even give us a router for w/e reason, or it was an extra fee or smth, so we had to buy one on our own

afaik all ISPs charge for a router, they're not gonna give it to you for free
usually it's like $10 a month or something, but if you do that for over than like a year you're already wasting money

that doesn't change anything

yes it does
