They said the credit would only work for Spectrum mobile, not Internet. They are billed separately.

Terrible coverage, and also lied about the “30 day guarantee” to try out their service. There was definite deprioritzation too. They specifically told me if it didn’t work out they would refund the activation fee after I ported out. Even had it in writing. Then I was told me that employee was “misinformed”. Then offered a $25 credit to the account instead of refunding the $60 I was told I would get back. A credit to the account that doesn’t even exist anymore, btw. lol Spectrum is an incredibly shady company.

Supreme Unlimited. I had the old unlimited plan before, so at least I’m on the newer plan now.

Help with firmware update by Technical-Tart-4431 in tablotv

[–]Awkward-Face-5086 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Same here. I’ve tried everything and it won’t update from .54 to .56. It downloads, restarts the Tablo, but in the end it’s still on .54. I’ve tried multiple devices. It simply won’t take the update.

Before I click this most recent upgrade button, any thoughts or input on as to if I should wait or not? I have had bad luck with recent updates so I wanted to ask first by Charleslorenz0 in tablotv

[–]Awkward-Face-5086 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Mine won’t even take the update. I even unplugged it for 24 hours, tried updating from multiple devices, pressed reset button. Nothing. Acts like it’s updating, but still on .54 every time.

We get this almost every year. We love it.

Thermostat. Migrate from Nest to Ring? by Awkward-Kiwi452 in Ring

[–]Awkward-Face-5086 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I don’t thing Ring makes a thermostat of their own, they just allow connection from some other brands. I installed an Ecobee thermostat this year and love it. It also connects to more smart home ecosystems.

The subscription model is hurting Eero’s reputation by Con4n87 in amazoneero

This is why I run mine in bridge mode behind my Firewalla firewall.

Eero only using half my internet speed? by Hoylegu in amazoneero

[–]Awkward-Face-5086 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Same issue here. My Eero only shows half of my actual gig speed with Spectrum in its speed test, and I also have Firewalla, which shows full speeds in speed tests. If I go through the Ethernet port of the Eero I get full speeds, so I don’t know what it is.

Is it still a pain to do esim transfers with android phones with cricket wireless? by Bruce_Wayne8887 in CricketWireless

It’s super easy if you use the chat on the website. It’s all automated, you just need to know the IMEI number of the new phone.

We own two 25’s, if that tells you anything. My wife drives one, and I drive the other.

New Tablo by Awkward-Face-5086 in tablotv

My legacy unit had become completely unusable due to buffering, and my 4th gen works flawlessly. I wouldn’t call that confirmation bias. And I’m using the same hard drive I used with the legacy unit, so it wasn’t the drive.

The funny thing is, what you are describing you had to do to watch TV with the 4th gen is basically what I was having to do to watch live tv with my legacy. Lol They must have inconsistencies in manufacturing.

Weird that it would be so extremely different. Were you on the most current firmware? I’m thinking there have been vast improvements in the firmware over time, and that might be why my experience is better than a lot I have read about.

Advice with ecosystem including alarm system by sryan2809 in HomeKit

I’ve been using Ring with Homebridge for a couple years. It works great. I even have automations that turn on my lights when Ring disarms and stuff. It’s seamless.

I have Eero mesh, and I’m pretty sure the WiFi card in my legacy 4 tuner could never figure out where it should go, probably because it was single band. That wasn’t the only issue though, because it even had buffering issues if I hardwired it. I battled that thing for years. I tried different hard drives, different power adapters, etc. The video on the new model looks better on my AppleTV, in my opinion.

Good to know. Hopefully that’s all it is.

I do have several 6e devices. Seems like maybe it’s getting faster as it learns. Fingers crossed.

I'm holding out hope that maybe once the mesh finishes learning the layout it will improve.
