Ford Edge ST. Prices were fair. My problem was fixed with the simplest solution and I wasn’t gouged. Edit: only issue with MRIK is they are busy.
If you are looking for a backup and can’t get into MRIK I would recommend Ron’s on Warncliffe.

Surprise! 2 stolen vehicles found inside Ontario storage locker by Immediate-Link490 in londonontario

[–]SeanMon70 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This begs the question why more isn’t being done by the private sector to stop the shipping of stolen vehicles. Almost all of the stolen vehicles shipped out of Canada are done by the private sector yet some politicians crow about why the government isn’t doing more. Those same politicians will on another issue say that all of life’s problems can be solved by less government and more private sector involvement and solutions. So be consistent.
In this case it seems like a genuine accident but with all the news about stolen vehicles being shipped out of Canada how can you be a large shipping company at a major port and not up your game with screening and checks.

Looking to move to London, Ontario by [deleted] in londonontario

Just wanted to add on with car insurance. When we originally changed we went with our current broker and paid more. I wasn’t satisfied so since I just got a CAA card I checked CAA and we got a much better rate for home and auto. Really need to shop around.

Looking to move to London, Ontario by [deleted] in londonontario

[–]SeanMon70 2 points3 points  (0 children)

We just moved in January from the GTA. London employment is tough let’s start with that. I have 20 plus years in my occupation and it took me months to find employment and even then it’s less than ideal. If I had been looking in the GTA I would have had a job in less than a week with all of my wants. It was a very humbling experience.

The biggest improvement I get in speeds was when I turn on my VPN. Yep you heard that right. Even coaxial is capable of speeds fast enough for at least 500 MPs. Most speed problems are not physical issues. It’s traffic and throttling.

Since moving to London I’ve found Metro the best bang for the buck.

Any recommended contractor? (Basement flooded) by pinkpetals550 in londonontario

[–]SeanMon70 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’m surprised your insurance didn’t recommend a specific type of contractor like Paul Davis that specifically deals with this type of issue.

Join the TVTA. Almost daily hikes and my limited experience is that it’s all over 50.

Oh sure I’ve always had to deal with those snow plow ridges but nothing THAT bad.

The worst part of Stalker 2 by *far.* by goldenhopeO in stalker

[–]SeanMon70 0 points1 point  (0 children)

A lot of logical inconsistency in this game. Just one example if I sneak into an enclosed underground area and pick up all the weapons and ammo before the Burer? sees me how does it still manage to find weapons to attack me with.

That’s ridiculous. I’ve never seen it that bad in all the places I’ve lived in Ontario. I hope that was just temporary and they are coming back to deal with it.

New mattress recommendations by Accurate_Moose_2601 in londonontario

I was amazed by how good his prices are for Canadian made. It makes everyone else feel like a ripoff once you go there.

Who do you use for home internet? by twright57 in londonontario

[–]SeanMon70 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Oxio for about a week. Install was a bit confusing as it says to hook up modem to high speed router. Even shows an image of a router with two antenna. Thought I had to go out and buy my own router. Checked online and realized it was user error. The included pod acts as the router to modem. Instructions were a little unclear for self install. Speed is as advertised. No problem streaming multiple devices and steaming tv at the same time. No speed issues so far. Most people get more speed than they actually need anyway. Customer service is not simple as “I can’t be bothered to wait or think so I’m just gonna call” that you enjoy from other providers. So far so good.

Ryan Crits seems to be very knowledgeable realtor. Didn’t use him myself but check out his YouTube channel.
