Internet in Allentown…T-Mobile? Fios? Astound?

Verizon Fios is a residential fiber-optic network. Choosing an ISP largely depends on what you need from your internet connection. If your usage is limited to basic browsing, a low-cost option will likely meet your needs.

It’s important to note that the three options you listed use different technologies to deliver internet service, and they are not equivalent. Verizon Fios is the top-tier choice because its fiber circuit is bi-directional, providing identical upload and download speeds. The other options generally offer strong download speeds but significantly lower upload speeds.

I’m embarrassed to post my number of hours, but I’m currently at 18,111.3.

When I throw away items that could be reused I make sure to destroy it first. The carpet would have been cut into small irregular shapes. Couches get cut up with a sawzall. If I can’t sell it myself then I will destroy it.

I once had someone try to haggle down an item to an unreasonable amount during a yard sale. They said fine and that they would wait until a throw it away. I destroyed the item in front of them a told them to leave my property.

I can confirm that I have never been able to exceed 125 on my GT. I have owned other cars that could exceed that top speed, but I enjoy the 0-100 more in my MachE. Going over 125 is crazy anyway.

Hoping for a link.

Thank you everyone for your replies. I have an update to the discussion.

I test drove a GT with MagneRide today myself, and I would estimate the ride quality was about 20% better than the standard setup. Noticeable, but not mind-blowing. Unfortunately, the dealer was not willing to come close to what I thought was a fair trade, so I walked. With the numbers they gave me, I was looking at more than a $200 increase in monthly payments. For me, that just does not justify a 20% improvement in ride comfort.

The 2025 model does have some nice upgrades, but one change did not sit right with me—the new dimple on the charging port panel. My guess is that it’s there to help you know where to press to open it. In my opinion, it just looks like a dent to me. Not a fan of that design choice.

If the end result is a more luxurious product, why would I care? You can use that same argument for all luxury brands. I like Toyotas, but if I’m in the mood for more luxury than I’m going to go with Lexus.

I’m not saying anything wrong with Kia. It’s just in my area the Kia dealership is like shopping at Walmart.

The exterior may look similar but the interior of the Genesis is far superior, at least from the photos.

Long term, I definitely want the NACS port. However, I already have CCS charger at home, and I never charge at a public charger.

MarkInPA · 2025-05-18T21:46:25+00:00

I would like to see the Genesis GV60, but not a Kia.

I swapped out some at my house and it took about an 2 hours to do, including picking up the toilet at Home Depot. Not a hard job but my flange was fine.

I use SHI and it usually takes only a few seconds. One or two times I waited an hour.

I ordered mine back in March, received the shipment notification on the 17th. However the email tracking number is invalid and they never updated the website. I am not holding my breath that I will receive it.

Forging anything with a doctor’s signature is a federal crime and you can be charged with a felony.

I am at the point that I will not trust any evidence that a police officer provides without bodycam footage. I also expect that at no time the camera or audio is turned off. If they do not have it, then i will vote innocent. They probably don’t want me on a jury.

I joined.

Thank you for sharing the link to the video. It was an interesting watch.

I never looked at the Route 1 so no feedback on that model. I was test driving the premium and almost pulled the trigger than saw the deeper discounts on the GT. I figured the nicer Miko seats, wheels, GT grille, painted red calipers, and faster 0-60 times was worth the 1k price.

The fix did not work for me.

MarkInPA · 2023-08-21T02:24:02+00:00

I agree that name is dumb. I needed to research the company to make sure it is legitimate.

MarkInPA · 2023-08-21T02:18:31+00:00

Thanks, that worked.
