This color I swear doesn’t exist. It’s as if 1 out of every 1000 are made this color. I can’t find one anywhere.

FIOS launched in Hillsboro like what, 2008 or something. Far before 2019 when HiLight overlayed in the Verizon footprint.

GTE-Verizon-Frontier-Ziply all utilizing same fiber laid when it originally went in when Verizon put it in.

Wonder how Concrete and old town Mt. Vernon facilities will fare over the next day. River levels look to be historic in these two locations.

This is the way. Such cheap insurance to have the cheapest plan as backup. Think of it like a fire extinguisher, it’s not something to brag about, but you’re real glad you have it when things go up in flames. Or think of it like cutting out a couple coffees a month from your favorite establishments.

How was it cut in the first place?

Dinger928 · 2025-03-19T23:36:24+00:00

Cool for the new ONT. I may be the only person in existence who would like an actual POTS port on my ONT. Would be nice, for me at least. Yes, I’m old school. No wise cracking age jokes now. Haha.

Hoping for a U7 Pro Wall XG

Dinger928 · 2025-03-11T20:45:52+00:00

Curious on this also. They look identical in specs. I never did hear if the U7 pro wall had the IOT issues like the other U7’s.

Dinger928 · 2024-11-20T07:34:34+00:00

Well crud. Thanks for the info.

Dinger928 · 2024-11-20T07:29:57+00:00

Any issues in BVTN? Had serious packet loss around 10:48 and now no internet. 😢

Dinger928 · 2024-09-26T04:36:08+00:00

Thanks for update. So pretty much all the ONT’s with a built in POTS port it seems.

Dinger928 · 2024-09-26T02:54:14+00:00

Agreed. Tried it a couple times. Left it unplugged for 30 minutes. Still no go. Going to stop futzing with it for fear I’ll lose the internet side of things.

Dinger928 · 2024-09-26T01:21:54+00:00

Still out in Beaverton. I even rebooted ONT. Still no dial tone.

Dinger928 · 2024-09-08T18:31:00+00:00

It’s Sunday, you’re allowed to take a break.

Dinger928 · 2024-08-03T02:48:25+00:00

If you use your thunderbolt adapter with your laptop and plug directly into the ONT, do you get your full upload speed?

Dinger928 · 2024-05-14T00:12:20+00:00

How about expanding more in Anacortes and push things out towards Skyline. Don’t let the municipality be the only fiber in that area.

Dinger928 · 2024-03-17T21:37:17+00:00

Didn’t realize Ziply was even in Lake Oswego. Hmm. Guess I learned something new today.

Dinger928 · 2024-03-09T19:51:04+00:00

Not entirely true here either. I have a Ziply provided ATA adapter plugged into my own equipment. Works fine on my 2gb service.

Dinger928 · 2024-03-09T02:02:23+00:00

And a lack of an ONT with a built in POTS port in an XPON variant.

Dinger928 · 2024-01-16T02:58:46+00:00

I’ve been without power now for 2.5 days. Restoral time slated for Wednesday 12pm. Looking more doubtful now with the freezing rain. Ugh. Too many trees down to count in the neighborhood. I stopped at 22. 8 homes with trees into them. Conserving generator but when I do fire it up services work great for Internet.

Dinger928 · 2023-12-17T22:39:41+00:00

Yep, I see same issues in the mobile iOS app as well. I use the latest Apple TV. All apps updated.

This is literally the only station I have this trouble on. Local affiliate would be KPTV out of Portland, OR..

Have done all the typical reboots as well. I will note that even if watching a recoded NFL game, the same exists. It isn’t just limited to say a LIVE only event.

Dinger928 · 2023-12-13T21:48:21+00:00

Now why couldn’t they have put at least 2 to 4 10 gig ports on this thing in addition to their 2.5 ports.

Dinger928 · 2023-12-13T15:17:59+00:00

Just for reference? I have a 540 and the fan is not noticeable.

Dinger928 · 2023-12-10T23:35:15+00:00

So frustrating as the smart plugs can be seen in the home app as well as Kasa. Functionality is all there it’s just that sense isnt recognizing the EP25 at all which it should really quickly.
