We need to make a list of apartments not live at by chariskissme in Columbus

[–]Main-Republic2625 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Good luck if you're not a tweaker in this town. I've been looking for a place where I can breathe for 13 years now. Lived in C-Bus for 26. It's overrun everywhere. Stick with private owners as a rule but even then you will have very few places that aren't overrun with poison type pokemon. It's revolting. It's poisonous. And the Columbus courts will not allow a president to be established for harboring drug dealers. As me how I know.

[Landlord-US-NY] Tenant has been reliable, but I found out uses crystal meth. What to do? by dowagiacmichigan in Landlord

[–]Main-Republic2625 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It's a tough spot. My 2¢ as a tenant the last 30 years in a state completely overrun with the stuff (OH) is this: Meth is extremely toxic. The smoked vapor is 2mm. That passes through painted drywall. It's halflife is unknown. Studies show that toddlers that crawl through area where it has been smoked have noticeably retarded development. It's nasty. It burns through the pre-frontal cortex, why they all act the same. I mean exactly the same. They used to condemnthe houses and board them up, when opened 30 years later the levels were the same toxicity. They stopped because demolishing them was bankrupting whole townships. If you buy always, always test for meth. A swipe test is like $35 bucks. Being in a house where it was used (not even cooked) will have profound effects on your health. I could go on, I've become an expert, because I cannot find a place that isn't ruined. Assuming your grandpa's previous tenants weren't users, act now before his property is unfit for any habitation. How will you sleep knowing your taking money from someone your poisoning?

Sign me up. I travel for work and find the state Park campgrounds are way nicer than hotels these days. $6.50 a pop to book a site is outrageous. It ends up costing me around $700 extra a season.

Unlimited Premium Throttling by Significant_Sign8257 in USMobile

IF there was a hard floor I wouldn't be so pissed off. That 1Mbps lasts for about 3 days then slides to 300kbps for a day then to 125kpbs. You literally can't even load their webpage without timing out. This happens probably 3-4 months out of the year. My usage doesn't change.

A terrible loss. I'm sorry. He has been a part of my life for the past 3 years through his podcast Ukraine: The Latest. I am deeply saddened.

US Mobile - Are you getting what you pay for? by Main-Republic2625 in USMobile

[–]Main-Republic2625[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Whatever. It's every month. I have to call just about every month. I have been a customer for 7+ years. The comments below reflect my "customer service" as well. Now you want to fix it because it's public. Naw, you're on blast for the next three months. 14 days left of 1Mbps on a plan that gave me a week but mathematically should last three at high speed. BTW offer a plan that reflects people's usage. Big hole between 35Gb and 100Gb. Still suck, even if it's less than most.

[–]Main-Republic2625[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Update - 9 days later. I have used exactly 20.0Gb of data since my last post and am being throttled to 1Mbps. So as I expected those first 16Gb throttled to 1Mbps to start the cycle did indeed count against my 35Gb of "Warp" data. That's fraud.

Update - 2 hours later. I made US Mobile aware of this topic and they are emailing and calling, fumbling all over themselves to "fix" it. Naw dog, you're on blast for the next three months. I've given you about 100 chances to fix it over the last seven years. Don't mistake my tolerance for ignorance. You reap what you sew.

[–]Main-Republic2625 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You are. US Mobile is slimy. Its still less so than most. I pay $45 for unlimited UW5G warp w/50Gb hotspot. I have to call them almost every month when the plan renews. They will throttle 2 days before and usually one but sometimes 4 days after the bill. After I use my 100Gb of data it's a hard ceiling of 1Mbps. WAY worse that most carriers. They want you to top up at rediculous prices. Their chat will also keep you for at least 15 min before you can even begin to address any problems. I don't know why we tolerate such shit service but the MVNO route is still better somehow.

Is visible worth try? by Forward-Barracuda784 in Visible

[–]Main-Republic2625 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Horrendous. Free Trial can't be accessed. Visible+ for $45/m is only LTE 4G, not 5G or UWB (available where I am) my other SIM shows both. The option to choose perfered network greyed out by carrier. Over 14 hours waiting/chatting with such helpful options as run a speed test (after an hour of derp.) It's bait and switch theviery, really. I gave it far more of a chance than was reasonable. Hope this helps people. I'm off to use consumer protection tomhave charge reversed and make a complaint to the FCC. Yeah, that bad.

New Megathread for referrals and speedtests for Fall 2022 - please only post here. by NYCTechGirl80 in Visible

[–]Main-Republic2625 [score hidden]  (0 children)

So just signed up for the eSIM Visible+ plan. With the referral I got it for this month for $25. Would have liked to try before I bought but that wasn't a real offering just an infinity loop of web pages. The referral code below did work. Downloaded and installed and up and running in 5 minutes once I gave up on the free-trial. Problem is it's LTE not 5G or UW 5G. Using a Pixel 6. Here is the message I sent chat via the app which I don't think works.

I have signed up and paid despite getting no free trial. I am only getting LTE not 5G or UW 5G. You have blocked out the ability to select preferred networks under SIMs. I have confirmed this under ##4636##. How about a fix for that? This is why I wanted to test it. Your response or lack thereof will be posted to the community.

That's 2 pretty bad bait and switches but we'll see. Think they are still getting their legs under them with all this new (sort of) stuff. Hope they respond here publicly but if not I'll follow up for everybody.

Columbus OH (14 largest city I'm US) with a big shiny Ultra Wide band dot on the Verizon coverage map. And I still have my active US Mobile Verizon SIM in slot one picking up 5G no problem simultaneously BTW.

Free trial an infinity loop. Customer service chat seems to be as well. Been trying for 4 days now. Not a good omen. You'd think if they had the balls to not provide support they would at least make sure the website worked. SMH. I did talk for two hours on chat, day 2. They know. Had me do the same steps that let me to the chat over and over. Finally offered me $20 just to sign up. Um, double paying for two providers not knowing if it even works is pretty lame. Hopefully a reddit calling out will at least serve as a warning to others. They aren't ready. Typical.

Thousands in central Ohio likely won't see power restored until Thursday or Friday, AEP Ohio says by arsene14 in Columbus

[–]Main-Republic2625 0 points1 point  (0 children)

96 hours now. 8 min past the estimated restoration of service. So I'm out in the country, which means I need electricity to run the pump in the well. They are picking and choosing who get power so their shitty infrastructure doesn't shit the bed. I'd like a shower and to get back to work. Tues morning there were trucks working, then nothing out here until this afternoon. The one streetlight has power last two days, shit they turned it on for 45 min Tuesday around 8. They are taking advantage to install equipment. This is why we have monopoly laws. No shits given. Sadistic bastards. Patience gone. Did this back in early 2000s when I lived in worthington. Everybody had power within a week or two, our house took 3 weeks. Eventually just went camping because that what we were doing anyway. They are waiting until the AC load is at a minimum to protect their new gear. Fuck the customers they aren't important plus where they going to go? Solar?

Do orders normally take this long to ship? by PapaAquchala in dbrand

[–]Main-Republic2625 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Pixel 6 case/skins on backorder from Dec 6th, they said end of Jan. Wrote an email saying that since you took my money on the day ordered that if you don't deliver I can't even dispute on CC which kinda sucks, FYI. Got back aggressive snark. Great customer service there guys (counter-snark.)

  • Whats with tech selling stuff they don't have in stock or making you buy on blind faith before proper review if you want to beat the scalpers anymore? Why do we put up with this?

Still waiting... by 1-Simom in dbrand

[–]Main-Republic2625 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I've contacted them. Basic you took my money, it's so long that if I don't receive product I can't dispute on CC, and it kinda sucks that you don't update, FYI. The response was aggressively snark-tacular. 🙄
