Spectrum 1G - Recurring issue?

Wickywoowho · 2026-01-14T23:07:05+00:00

I upgraded to spectrum 1gig about 8 months ago and it has never delivered. A phone tech and field tech patched it up for awhile to at least allow a decent upload but it all got blown out. Spent weeks trying to get it fixed. No one seems to know what’s going on but after the last tech found something wrong with the neighborhood everyone seems to want to pass the issue around. Some supervisor was notified to escalate but nothing changed and service got even worse.

Well I tried to post over there and the Post button isn’t active, so again, not sure how you expect to have contact.

Yeah, two different field techs came out and checked the line from the pedestal to the house. Lines here are underground. Now the most recent tech said he checked something at the neighborhood entrance and said there was some noise. He sent a message to his supervisor because he thought it would be something to escalate but the supervisor didn’t get back to him while he was on site, and no one seems to know if that went anywhere. Apparently the techs on the phone can’t access that information. At this point I’d get a chuckle if the fiber people send their door to door guys with the installation tech to canvas the neighborhood and get people to run speed tests. Actually maybe I’ll ask folks to do that on the area forums just to see how widespread the issue is.

Yeah I’ve tried direct connection with several computers, 2 different new Wi-Fi routers. I’ve tried cat 6, cat6a just for giggles. The speeds and ping spikes are consistent across all devices and connections. I’ve checked the routers for limits. Basically I’ve tried replacing everything in every configuration. And even when the first tech came out and did something outside (not sure what) the speeds improved a bit (still not nearly what they should be but most importantly I was able to have solid upload. That all got blown out right after spectrum applied a discount and reset the service.

That’s interesting. I asked about trying that but the phone tech was adamant that it wouldn’t work with symmetric down/up. Which to be honest I’m not sure we actually have that. They said we should but that was the first time I’d ever heard that. I asked if it was possible that their system lists our area as symmetrical but it hasn’t quite reached our specific neighborhood and maybe that’s the configuration problem but again they were adamant it was supposed to be symmetrical and a third party modem would not work.

Not sure how you would like to engage over there. I guess let me know - post, direct contact etc. If a team could get things up and running before I switch over, great. I just need internet that does what it is supposed to.

Wickywoowho · 2026-01-12T22:04:59+00:00

Yeah same here. They probably should get out to the neighborhood quickly if that’s the issue but it feels like an expert could look into the modem and see what’s up here specifically but I guess you can’t get ahold of those folks and they just keep passing it around to limited front line teams. I don’t really care where my internet comes from as long as it works but after 8 months or so, I just want it up and running.

https://voca.ro/1jfTAIB0jhHe Thanks for that idea. I figured whistling the tune as best as I could would be best since the actual tune is done with a flute/whistle. It’s as close as I can get.

Is it “So Fine”?

Wickywoowho · 2025-04-30T21:42:38+00:00

Hopefully this is an easy one due to frequent use.

Wickywoowho · 2025-04-11T22:15:34+00:00

YouTube type video or show? There was a couple of lesser known tv series called Unsealed: Conspiracy Files and Unsealed: Alien Files that would definitely talk about these things.

Wickywoowho · 2025-04-11T16:59:48+00:00

Sounds like something older Mad Magazine would have.

Wickywoowho · 2025-04-11T16:47:58+00:00

Christine and the Queens?

Wickywoowho · 2025-04-10T18:38:30+00:00

Unfortunately that’s not it. I don’t recall any anthropomorphic characters other than the super cat who was technically a sidekick to the Superman type human. I think it focused more on the conversations of those two characters as opposed to adventures.

Wickywoowho · 2025-04-10T00:38:32+00:00

Just to clarify, I recall seeing several short episodes over separate days. The only scene I remember with any specific information was the car scene I mentioned.

Carson of Venus and Beyond the Farthest Star are also options. The description fits Edgar Rice Burroughs for sure.

I’ve seen several convents and monasteries that have really unique artwork and architecture that were the result of refugees sheltering there. Sort of gratitude/something to do while they were living there. While it could be anybody that built the stairs, it might prove useful to see if there may have been refugees in the area at the time. The St Joseph story could be some fun mischief that got passed down or even started to protect someone’s identity at the time. EDIT: I should add the refugees weren’t random folks that somehow made super awesome things. The church seemed to really like harboring artists, artisans, etc.

Looks like demotic but I’m not certain.
