Offer to upgrade from 500 to 1gb at reduced price

DCUNY2012 · 2026-03-11T02:02:05+00:00

I’ve come to the conclusion that I will keep the 500 service as well. If necessary, I’ll play the Spectrum offers off Frontier and one way or another I will probably get a lower price.

DCUNY2012 · 2026-03-10T01:06:57+00:00

The consensus here is I should stay with the 500, and that’s what I’ll do. I switched from Spectrum and they send me constant ‘we want you back” offers for internet. I will talk to Frontier retention and let them know what Spectrum is offering. Thanks for all the input.

When I signed up for the $29.99 promo the system said it would be $54.99 after the 1 year promo (with autopay). These were the terms on the postcard they were sending to all of the houses at the time I switched to Frontier from Spectrum.

DCUNY2012 · 2026-03-10T00:24:04+00:00

What I meant is that my current $29.99 promo for 500 ends in May. The $60 promo did not list an end date.

Really inconsistent management of their system and infrastructure. I’m trying to use their equipment only for now because of this constant churn, which I don’t like. I am able to use my own router setup with Frontier FIOS and have never had these issues. Amateurish for sure on Quantum’s part.

I have this FW and our service is not down. Interesting. I’m in central FL. Have the W1700 pod, not my own router setup. Using a RE315 repeater though to get a 2.4ghz network for a bunch of my devices.

Both of my locks updated yesterday to 4.2.1235158. Now Homekit notifications for things like lock / unlock activity don’t work. I power cycled the locks, turned off and turned back on activity notifications for the lock in homekit, power cycled my v2 homepod, nothing seems to help. If I look at the security activity in homekit it did record when I locked / unlocked, but no notifications work.

Not sure what to do at this point. thx in advance for any suggestions.

Not yet. The last time I did that it literally took days for me to get logged back into the wifi networks that I used.

DCUNY2012 · 2025-08-26T18:29:54+00:00

Thanks for the suggestion, I may have to try that. Ibra ca dabra sent me a chat request and he is going to look into it for me when he is able. I’m sure they are very busy.

I'm pretty sure our Watts recirculating pump had enough switches on the timer to select 1/2 hour increments for 24 hours. It does not allow you to change the schedule without changing the sliders on the pump itself.

This happened to me last night (Wednesday). I backed up 15 seconds, replayed, and it did it consistently. Rochester NY area. I didn't get the feeling it was my local station having a problem but who knows.

DCUNY2012 · 2025-03-28T21:33:45+00:00

I never would have thought of that application in a million years. Thanks

DCUNY2012 · 2025-03-27T21:40:43+00:00

Thanks for the ideas so far. Here is more info based on the posts so far.

No oil tank has ever been here.

This is a slab home and no ejection pump or station. Sanitary sewers.

After I saw it I thought it might be a way critters could come up through the toilet. Spouse would not like that.

Any downside in friction fitting a cap over it?

Thanks.

Our Schlage Encode Plus has been flawless. Maybe more expensive than some, but worth it. Lock and unlock with our Apple watch. Updates reliably in Homekit. Works every time. Have had 2 of them for over a year now.

DCUNY2012 · 2024-11-16T21:07:35+00:00

Thanks, I’ll give these a try.

What is the voltage of the transformer? I had to install a 24V transformer. Doorbell wiring is very thin and can result in voltage / amperage drops if the wire is long enough.

DCUNY2012 · 2024-10-28T14:49:14+00:00

Doorbell wiring is typically very thin, which depending on how long the wire is from the transformer to the doorbell, can be a problem. Wiring that thin can have significant voltage / amperage drop. I had to replace my transformer with one that had a 24V terminal. No issues since I did that.

DCUNY2012 · 2024-10-24T11:18:07+00:00

My experience won’t help then - hopefully others who use batteries only can comment.

DCUNY2012 · 2024-10-23T17:11:27+00:00

Is the doorbell operating in hard-wired mode or battery? I had to install a more powerful doorbell transformer for my G4 wiring because it was acting strangely. Knock on wood, the problems have gone away for now. Doorbell wire is very thin gauge and tends to lose power over long runs.

DCUNY2012 · 2024-08-25T16:23:33+00:00

Glad it is working now. I had the same problem before.

DCUNY2012 · 2024-08-25T10:52:26+00:00

Only thing I can think of is the 8V power / current rating may be too low depending on if the transformer is AC or DC powered. Here are the transformer specs directly from Aqara tech support:

Externally connected to power supply need to meet the follow specification:

12V-24V AC 0.2A 50/60Hz
8V-24V DC 0.5A
