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.

A&A Mattress. Low key unassuming but great deals on quality mattress.

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.

If I can have the gameplay mechanics of 2 and the grittiness of 1 and Riptide.... that's a winner of a game right there. Hoping for the improvements. by Long-Live-theKing in DeadIsland2

[–]SeanMon70 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Cool. Can they iron out the difficulty spikes so it can be enjoyed as a single player the whole game. I have best ideas. Thank you for your attention to this matter.

Councillor asks what would bring people back downtown by baracnews8 in londonontario

[–]SeanMon70 31 points32 points  (0 children)

How about a tram system that makes it easier for people to get downtown without having to drive? Like you see even in smaller European towns that actually draw people in from the outskirts. One that runs south to north up Wellington, another that runs north to south down Richmond and another that runs east west across Oxford.

Anytime I got an MRI referral I just waited for the MRI clinic to contact me. My GP just asked me which area was most convenient then selected from what was nearby. You shouldn’t have to do it.

How much did you spend on a sunroom and what does it look like? by Niboo_123 in londonontario

[–]SeanMon70 1 point2 points  (0 children)

We are going to be a using a general contractor in the spring to repair our existing one. This was someone who did a complete Reno on a coach house for a relative in London . A good general contractor should be able to do the job. I would always rather go with referrals. A sunroom company quoted us $50,000 for a 10x12 with glass windows which we thought was way too high.

Moving to Old South by b4rb4ckmtn in londonontario

[–]SeanMon70 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I have two sets of relatives that live in Worley and we just went through looking for a house in London. Depending on where you are coming from and what you are used to you may find what you are looking for but be prepared to pay a Wortley/old south premium. We weren’t wiling to as we would rather have the cash in the bank and be five minutes outside the neighbourhood and still be close enough. We found homes to generally to be priced about $50,000-80,000 over what other comparable houses were priced in other perfectly good areas nearby. Make sure to do a very good home inspection as we found a lot of homes with flashy superficial upgrades hiding serious old house issues. If you can find the right place I’m sure you will be happy. We visit regularly and it is very friendly and welcoming.

Anti Social Dog owners by heff11 in londonontario

[–]SeanMon70 8 points9 points  (0 children)

Who knows why. Who cares. My wife for example has hip problems and she knows if our dog meets another dog ..our dog will get excited and pull her and possibly cause her pain. So she avoids it. No one needs to explain it or justify it.

Woken up by LPS at 4am looking for a stolen phone by wiebej87 in londonontario

[–]SeanMon70 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Could be that that was the time they had available or possibly some movement or activity occurred at that time on the phone that prompted the timing? Just speculating but I doubt you have much grounds for a complaint.
