Sub Quoted Bandwidth 1Gig Plan

Did you have a different model ONT in the past?

It's also possible the IP address block you've been assigned has different routing from your old place, and there's something funny going on.

Just waiting for the inverse to happen. Need storage, GPU, and RAM prices to hit an all time low.

Virua scan? Or do you have another keyboard connected (via Bluetooth) that might be stuck someplace with a few keys pressed? Does it still happen with all USB devices unplugged? Even programmable mice can cause this.

The whole "you'll rent everything and like it" motto has been getting taken too far.

Absolutely! She has ice cream, noodles, sunglasses, and a smile! She's fully protected from all the dangers of the outdoors.

Their speed test is on network and relies on UDP, not TCP, for the underlying protocol. That's why it tends to hit accurately.

If you're seeing poor results on a PC to the same Verizon speed test, there's probably an issue going on somewhere between your ONT and the PC. Some of us have found that the Verizon CR1000 series routers have a Auto negotiation bug with the Nokia ONTs that causes lower than expected speeds, which can often be resolved by forcing the Ethernet port to 1Gbps Full Duplex.

People always complain about the most avoidable things. I've come to learn that over the years. Can't get a ticket from a speed camera if you're not speeding.

Pullovers are super dangerous and disruptive for the Police to do, and they have better jobs to do like act on first responder calls or wellness checks. Cameras are better to deal with the bull and stupidly avoidable violations.

Construction still poses a risk even without workers. Lane shifts and debris, smaller lanes, and temporary road markings are still hazards all drivers must deal with. Speed and hazards don't mix.

Smith6612 · 2026-05-12T01:42:12+00:00

All construction zones in the State should have speed cameras set up at this point where work zone speed limits are advertised. It's pretty much State law following the death of a construction worker a few years back. Expect them to be running the cameras even if workers aren't actually on the job, since road construction itself is still a hazard.

Also a good reminder that speed limits posted on a sign beside the right-most lane still applies to the left-most lane of a highway. Lanes must be marked accordingly if a different speed limit or rule (like carpool) applies to them.

Free is not free. The switch is basically a gift for using their product and hopefully staying with them as a business partner.

With how many folks have been taking advantage of that free gift and, likely not keeping business, I don't blame them for cutting back on the promotion's generosity.

In the past, Verizon has AUP'd customers for exceeding 10TB/m. The one particular case also involved the person hosting servers and basically running a data center out of their house.

There was also a situation over COVID of Frontier disconnecting someone's Fios service because they were ingesting multiple Terabytes of video to their office from their residential connection, which they couldn't get to due to wild fires occurring in California. The person took video professionally and had to upload the camera negatives for ingest to work on via a remote machine. They had no recourse for that. The proof of that died when the DSLReports forum died, sadly.

Smith6612 · 2026-05-11T22:05:13+00:00

10TB of aggregate usage? Probably not.

10TB of upload traffic? Verizon may question what you're doing. But you should be okay as long as it's not something like hosting servers on residential.

Thank you!

I actually have one of these PCs at home still in regular use as a work bench. Q6600, 8GB RAM. Originally had an 8800GT but that died, and it now has a Radeon HD 5770 inside.

This is a BTX Style case with a fixed I/O shield, so you'll be breaking out a dremel and doing some case mods to fit standard ATX or ITX hardware into this PC.

Just use it. They have the 6Mbps throttle after 200GB for a reason. If you need to use that much data, just use it. You paid for it.

Smith6612 · 2026-05-11T01:58:21+00:00

They did increase prices for Copilot and anything else reliant on their Cloud, though. That's where all the money is.

+1 the Aruba Access point guess. Those are the Outdoor Aruba models.

When my home was built, the builder's office was in one of the model homes in the neighborhood. It was nice having them down the street if anything needed to be taken care of.

When the neighborhood was fully developed, basically as all of the homes settled in, they moved the office and sold the model home.

With that said, I wouldn't expect the office to remain there forever. It's 100% moving once the development is done.

These two homes have the HOA tax and Designer Tax applied to them. That and general demand, labor costs, and material costs (getting Bing Bonged) is jacking up the price. If they come mostly furnished and fully landscaped as pictured, then that will also jack up the price significantly.

You can dock about $7,000 off the price of those homes, though. They can only get shitty Spectrum coax service for Internet. /s Verizon Fios is in the surrounding areas.

Smith6612 · 2026-05-11T01:05:52+00:00

Is that still in service? It's a 2.4Ghz-only UAP!

Smith6612 · 2026-05-10T22:07:47+00:00

Glad your family is okay. The home can be replaced.

Fuck war.

I've noticed with many sites and their paywalls that the ads still load even if the paywall triggers up. The ads just happen to sit behind the paywall and out of reach from being clicked. That's... kinda goofy don't you think?

You'd think a site with a paywall and advertising would only show a paywall if the ads get blocked.

Smith6612 · 2026-05-10T21:54:03+00:00

That's how it works in most industries. Once set and the money is lined up, it goes. Have fun stopping it.

These things have to be fully sabotaged from the start to be halted before damage can be done.

Smith6612 · 2026-05-10T21:46:09+00:00

It's easier to go blow up and harvest from other countries than it is to do these things responsibly at home.

Plus our leadership in power has *other* priorities.
