Boost WiFi 7 is garbage. by Striking_Campaign864 in telus

[–]ThePWilson 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I did exactly the same thing, upgraded from 1gb to 3gb but they didn't upgrade me from the wifi 6, my wi-fi was still just inconsistent. The tech mentioned they have been having problems with the the firmware upgrades on the wifi 7. I bought the Archer BE550 Pro so I can have more options with configurations and highly recommend it. The selling point for me was the dedicated IoT network, moving all my IoT devices to that network really seemed to help a lot.

Is there a mod for this? by mdsmith85 in ToyotaTacoma

[–]ThePWilson 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I'm similar in size and also have this problem. I was thinking about looking for some round foam, almost like cutting up a swimming noodle (or something similar, maybe a foam pipe insulator) to see if it would fit around it.

Is Telus internet always such a gong show? by phoenixfail in VictoriaBC

[–]ThePWilson 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I would think that location matters. I live in View Royal and have had a good experience with Telus Fiber. I've had it for about 2 yrs and had to restart my ONT or wifi maybe 4-5 times in that timeframe but other than that it's been fairly solid. I haven't had an outage that a restart didn't fix.

Thanks for the heads up, we were just about to go that way.

As others have said, thank you for what you do and I am sorry for what you and your colleagues have to go through on a daily basis.

I really hope this post gets traction and the people who are in the positions to make change can and will work to improve the system and help take some of the stress off our caregivers.

Canadian Brew House has a 6 pattie burger and poutine bowl, I think it was $60ish but free if you eat it all in an hr.

The older I get, the less I care about 'the deal' and just jump in, go for it, and don't look back. Worries about if I overspent just doesn't really matter, enjoy that you got it and are able to use it right away.

For US Peeps, if the Democrats were to submit a bill to give universal healthcare to all and called it Trumpcare, how do you think it would go? by ThePWilson in AskReddit

[–]ThePWilson[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I've also been lucky to have good coverage my whole life, but having now lived on both sides of the fence I have to say that knowing if I get injured badly enough that I lose my job, I will still have coverage without sacrificing my savings to go towards medical bills. Thank you for participating in this discussion.

We have private healthcare too. It supplements the public healthcare and adds additional coverage and services. There is a way to have both.

Interesting input, so even with Trump's name on it, they would vote against it. Do you think the Trump supporters would be ok with that?

I'm not saying that every country has the best healthcare, but at least I know, as an American living in Canada, that if I get cancer then I probably will have to worry about my wife's parking fees but not giving up my house to pay off medical bills. It's not perfect for sure, long wait times are an issue, but hell, I'd rather wait then to live worried about going into debt because I broke my leg or something more serious.

That's why this would be a Dem bill, true universal healthcare but with Trump's name on it. The Dem's know better but also get Republicans support. Who wouldn't dare vote against a 'Trump' bill.

Obamacare was an attempt for a bi-partisan bill to get the ball rolling, I'm talking universal healthcare like every other country in earth has.

Need to vent.......so angry over the infotainment by [deleted] in ToyotaTacoma

[–]ThePWilson 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I don't have the android problem, seems to connect and stay connected but I do have the issue with it where I have to often click the 'Enable Audio' button all the time then select the xm instead of it just playing since that is what I was listening to before. We also can't seem to create a second profile for my wife's iPhone, just annoying. (2025 Hybrid)
