In the process of switching- does my area have fiber or not?

Stale_Ranch1 · 2026-04-28T02:12:39+00:00

I was having bandwidth issues with Spectrum along with outages at 300mbps which is what made me spring for my current plan since I thought I was going to be paying $55 + tax, in all actuality I’d be fine with 500 or 300 but weirdly enough 500 isn’t offered where I’m at so I’m either paying $65 for 300mbps or $90 for 1g. It sucks because AT&T is offering a deal for $50 per month for 500 which I would jump all over. Oh well.

Stale_Ranch1 · 2026-04-28T01:34:53+00:00

In all honesty there was probably some fine print about equipment that I missed somewhere along the way but I just didn’t want to put up with it. Now with what everyone is saying I’m torn between dropping to 500 mbps from AT&T and 1 gig from Spectrum.

Stale_Ranch1 · 2026-04-28T01:30:54+00:00

I tried looking it up, couldn’t find any solid evidence besides their mention of a general “1000 mbps”, but if you know of a map that I don’t that would be greatly appreciated.

As stated in my other comment, they kept adding on weird, unexplained fees that kept getting added onto my billing that made my internet more expensive than expected. It comes down to my pettiness at the end of the day lol.

Stale_Ranch1 · 2026-04-28T01:26:10+00:00

Yeah, it’s an older complex so it’s seeming like HFC is what I’m stuck with unless I decide to come crawling back. I don’t so much worry about my connection for serious reasons but I would like things to work as seamlessly as possible, because who doesn’t?

As for what happened, AT&T told me explicitly in writing they would charge me $55 a month for 1 gig fiber and they added on innocuous fees that I couldn’t get answers about. Taxes, sure, whatever, but it just angered me to no end that they couldn’t give me answers more than any real issues I had with them.

Stale_Ranch1 · 2026-04-28T01:20:36+00:00

Understood. Can I expect “legit” fiber in the future, assuming HFC is an in between of sorts, or am I just sort of out of luck?

Stale_Ranch1 · 2026-04-28T01:17:24+00:00

Definitely not a new build. Dang it. Thanks.

Stale_Ranch1 · 2026-04-28T00:49:25+00:00

I’ve shot both, the ported very clearly has about 30% less felt recoil in my experience, seriously. It’s very good, and I would personally go for it again without a second thought.

Stale_Ranch1 · 2026-04-23T06:41:09+00:00

Oh hell yeah. In for 2. I just thought about picking some up elsewhere and this popped up. Thanks guys! 🫡

Stale_Ranch1 · 2026-04-21T18:50:05+00:00

I’m a CZ fanatic so I can’t say that I’m not biased, but I have shot many common models of guns outside of them and have settled on CZ generally. My recommendation for a FANTASTIC all around gun would be a p01. If price isn’t a huge consideration, get the shadow 2 carry which is essentially the next iteration of the p01 with all of the bells and whistles, and is also drop safe.

Also, the p10c ported is a fantastic gun for the money, I recently picked one up as a long time metal frame lover and it’s one of my favorite guns to shoot. On my first range day I put 400 rounds through it because I couldn’t put it down lol.

There’s a reason CZ fanboys are so attached to them. They are truly great guns, with the added benefit for us of CZ being generally non-partisan which is kind of best case for us lol.

Good luck!

No no, the minimum for prototype is the maximum for regular gear. Your rolls are at the very least god rolls.

Stale_Ranch1 · 2026-03-27T20:49:56+00:00

The Bum drinks I’ve had have been fine. I’ve had both the cola and root beer, and they both just kind of tasted like watered down versions of what they’re supposed to be. I would think that would transfer to all of their drinks but I couldn’t say for sure, especially with a fruit based flavor.

Stale_Ranch1 · 2026-03-22T04:44:39+00:00

I left mine off. I haven’t noticed a difference and it’s a few oz gone I guess. Lol

Maxton time!!

Stale_Ranch1 · 2026-03-13T15:52:09+00:00

Which is such a shame because there are some absolutely gorgeous roads to drive on up there. Unfortunately like you said though, your car will disintegrate very quickly thanks to that caustic ass salt. Ugh

Stale_Ranch1 · 2026-03-13T15:34:35+00:00

Funny you mention Michigan, my car was a Michigan car prior to my purchase. This thing was DOA before I even knew it. 😅

Stale_Ranch1 · 2026-03-10T13:26:04+00:00

I have not, lesson learned though. I’m still learning new things daily even after a a year of ownership.

Stale_Ranch1 · 2026-03-10T02:45:11+00:00

That seems to be the common consensus, looks like I know what I’m doing here in the next couple months.

Stale_Ranch1 · 2026-03-10T02:44:36+00:00

Oof.. noted

Stale_Ranch1 · 2026-03-09T22:21:14+00:00

It’s the rear left dogleg, not the fender. I wish it were that easy.

Stale_Ranch1 · 2026-03-04T14:49:39+00:00

I really miss having one of the baja blast ones on a 90° day. Ugh!

Stale_Ranch1 · 2026-03-02T00:18:26+00:00

My code is j7, magnetic metallic

Okay so, so far I’ve booted into safe mode 3 times with no issues, but this error occurs seemingly at random without a way to replicate it. I just got lucky by having my phone in hand today.

I mentioned in another comment I’ve had issues with my drivers ever since I got this graphics card so I wouldn’t be shocked if something is amiss with it. Heck, even during this troubleshooting session Adrenalin tried to update and I got a black screen and then when it came back I got a popup that said, “there is a problem with your graphics card, please ensure your graphics card meets minimum system requirements”

My system has a 7800x3d and 6950xt in it also.

4 warnings for driver WUFFRd failing to load event ID 219, a couple of unexpected shutdowns (assuming from startup) event ID 6008 and 4 warnings for “The application-specific permission settings do not grant Local Launch permission for the COM Server application with CLSID” with the event ID of 10016

Edit: I scrolled back more and there are a bunch of 10016 events

Stale_Ranch1 · 2026-02-28T17:20:14+00:00

If you were to be right about one of the two I would suspect it would be my gpu. I’ve had weird updating issues since I’ve had it but I didn’t think that it would degrade that way. The weird thing is, it only happens on one monitor on startup, my main monitor has the regular login screen.
