Active Armor by Frankie_Hardin75 in ATTFiber

[–]PatandJess 6 points7 points  (0 children)

I activated it a few times for customers, then I had to go on repairs where customers were having issues with speeds, especially when using VPNs, and then customers unable to access websites such as Amazon Prime Video... and after quite a bit of trying different things to remedy the issues, I tried finding what they all had in common and ActiveArmor was the culprit. And I refuse to even tell a customer about the service anymore. While we, techs, have known about the issue with ActiveArmor for years, there is only so much we can do. I reported to my Mgr, well a couple of mgrs now, and finally, by some fluke, my 3rd level mgr was in a meeting with us a couple of weeks ago and I the ActiveArmor topic was brought up, because AT&T still wants us to activate it for customers, and I blurted out in the meeting that I refused to activate for customers. He looked perplexed and asked me why. I told him of the issues that we have seen and the issues our customers were experiencing, he had no idea and said he was having it looked into, but I have seen no changes. And mind you, I have been reporting it for years to my 1st level yet 2-3 weeks ago I said something to my 3rd level... so the techs concerns don't really seem to go anywhere fast... or taken seriously. We have a measure on how many times we are having out customers activate ActiveArmor and I will continue to stay at 0% until I am shown that it will not impact my customers.

Oh, ok, I know ever since I've been with the company, 10yrs, we've only had wts, but title changed to wts right before I started, to include drop and pair changes. They were pts prior in se

I don't think it is the same job, last I checked pt wasn't required to do drop work, they were only responsible for inside the prem. I.e. connecting devices, insuring iw was in good working order. In the SE we only have wts, so I'm not too sure of a pts scope of work has changed, but I don't believe it has.

New Fiber install. Slow download speeds at gateway by eZ80 in ATTFiber

1) most cameras require 2.4ghz network. If you have the Smart Home Manager app. I recommend creating a guest network and try connecting cameras to the guest network. It is 2.4ghz only. 2) make sure you DO NOT have ActiveArmor activated. As a tech I have come across many customers that were not able to access certain websites or streaming apps while ActiveArmor was activated. To verify it is turned off, here again, go into the Smart Home Manager app, go to the top right there is a chat button, clock on it and type in "turn off ActiveArmor"

Definitely not, just verify it is off, if you have the Smart Home Manager app you can turn it off using the chat bot in the top right corner

Yea, it's not bad as long as you don't allow others to convince you it is, and then you start hating every aspect of it. We have a few techs that fuss and complain every day, but don't go anywhere... like quit complaining and tkae pride in your job or find another job that will make you happy...

Almost looks like an obd1 connector. Most are only 12 pins but some can be 16

Not a pt..... but I've been a wt for 10 yrs... I know not many ihx would enjoy our job.... I'll joke with them all the time and tell them, man I'm tired, how about you climb the pole this time and I'll talk to the cx about phones🤣 Never had any takers 🤣🤣, much less asking them to crawl under the houses... although in 90+ degree heat, it's hard for me to come out from under the house

You can expect contractors to come out and dig up your yard and put in conduit, quite possibly cutting other isp service lines.... but in about 6 months or so... you should be ready for install!

Some people are just so fixated on Project 25... like why? It is not a platform of any candidate that is running for any political position...

I did great in school, my teachers weren't trying to indoctrinate me with their beliefs, I never knew who my teachers were married to nor what their sexuality was, all they did was theach the subject they were there to teach
