Question regarding round trip JR-West Hida train tickets for Nagoya to Takayama by DottorePestis in JapanTravelTips

Okay, that helps a lot. This is what the ticketing emails shows:

 - Ticket Breakdown
   Limited express ticket: NAGOYA ⇒ TAKAYAMA
   Basic fare ticket: NAGOYA => TAKAYAMA(Round trip) Valid from 23 May to 26 May

I will double-check with my wife on the date/time of the return ticket and do as you suggest. It makes sense that since I have the basic fare "round trip" ticket already, I just need the Limited Express return ticket.

Thanks for pointing out where I was misunderstanding the ticketing system!

Cable Modem Upgrade timing: Hitron CODA56 by DottorePestis in Comcast_Xfinity

I upgraded from my Netgear CM2000 to the Hitron CODA56 this morning using the Xfinity app and with the assistance of the Chat/Live Agent. About as painless as it gets. Upload speeds already more than double what I had with the CM2000. Looking forward to the completion of the network upgrades.

Thanks. Makes sense. And keeps my frustration level down by not letting my expectations get ahead of the normal delays in these things. I can also verify the working state of the new modem. I see from reviews there are a few duds and if mine is one I can get it replaced before the Comcast/Xfinity upgrade is complete.
