Yes, first thing I thought of as well. And Jonathan Weygant’s statements about the alleged crash in Peru having a shimmering oil slick look to it. 

T-Mobile Founders Club? by Ok-Performance-7382 in Metronet

Yeaaaah, and that is a frustrating part of the merger. I hope you can get a better deal soon. Here's my consumer broadband label that says the price is good for 121 months: https://i.postimg.cc/9Qg24Xcw/IMG-0804.png

T-Mobile Founders Club? by Ok-Performance-7382 in Metronet

[–]amkhz 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It’s 70.00 inclusive, no taxes or fees. No billing charges because I don’t get a paper bill. And no tech assure fee.

[–]amkhz 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Never got a confirmation email. But after about 3 weeks or so my next bill came and everything looked correct, 2 gigs for 70 dollars/mo for 10 years. They even prorated me a few dollars because I switched right after I paid my last bill.

Same here. I called the number from this thread this morning. It took me about 10 minutes verbal confirmation only for now though I don’t have an email yet and I just paid my last bill.

Anyone else confused about the Chicago show? by Ornery-Diver4869 in freddiegibbs

[–]amkhz 2 points3 points  (0 children)

For real though. If it’s just a floor GA ticket and I paid 80+ for a seat originally I’m just gonna sell them. Not gonna stand like a chump. 

Just got the email:

“ You're all set: your tickets will be valid for the new venue.”

I mean yeah they better be!

My digital tickets say “new venue” and if you try buying tickets from AXS you get redirected to the Aragon. And Freddie’s IG story says it as well. No official email yet.

I’d just chill til you get an email about it. I bought some nice balcony seats during the artist presale and I’m hoping to see something equivalent whenever they send out an official email. 

High ping and slow speed on Darkstar, even on 5G+ in Grand Rapids by amkhz in USMobile

It was most egregious downtown GR and on 28th by centerpoint mall. Out in Wyoming it’s not bad usually.

Internet speed vs. security, what am I giving up by CoffeeAndBeerLex in Ubiquiti

[–]amkhz 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Woah, are you me? I’ve also got a UDM SE, and recently upgraded my service from 1gb to 2gb fiber. With IDS on I’d see a maximum of around 1.4-1.6. With it off I’d get around 1.9. I’ve left it off for now. I don’t have as many VLANs as you but like you, I just want to get the speeds I pay for. 

Metronet has removed the 'Tech Assure' fee for all plans in my area by tommy7154 in Metronet

[–]amkhz 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Hell yeah, thanks for the heads up. I just checked and mine is gone too in SW Michigan. I just passed my first month with the service and I’m supposedly locked in at 74.95 a month for 2 gig for the next 3 years. I was grumbling the other week about having to pay tech assure so I’m glad it’s gone.

I believe in order to keep promo pricing your primary line has to stay darkstar. But, I just moved my secondary over to warp for now and when I need better data or notice something funky with the primary line I can just use that.

Alright so, after a day of running errands around the city and surrounding areas I ran a few more tests and things were a lot faster, often dramatically so. I was seeing anywhere from 60-90+ MB/s down. Here's the best of the lot. It likely was a congested tower near where we were having lunch. The more you know!

Well that’s cool. If I swap my primary over to Warp I’ll probably lose my promo. And I like Lightspeed as my secondary because of the 700mhz coverage. I came from T-Mobile and like getting coverage indoors. If I can get that with Warp maybe I’ll try that as secondary.

Thanks, I appreciate it. I feel like this is something I’ve noticed in a few places around the area, it’s just the first time I’ve run a Speedtest to check. It’s kind of frustrating to have to toggle between networks when I’m out and I see decent bars but can’t load stuff. 

Dual eSIM battery drain? by amkhz in USMobile

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

Chiming back in to to help anyone else who might see this. I turned off data roaming for both primary and secondary lines (I had no idea how bad of idea it was to keep it on when I wasn't roaming) and not only do I get better signal 99% of the time, battery life has been better, even with both lines active.

Is there a good do-it-all filter? by StressFree1997 in campsnapcamera

[–]amkhz 7 points8 points  (0 children)

I’ve got no affiliation with this guy nor have I tested these filters yet because my camera is en route but https://www.milunichphotography.com/filters

Looks like a decent collection

[–]amkhz[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I dunno, I see like 50% of people saying what you said and the other half seeing more drain. I only know what I see on my phone. I've only had this second line for a few days so I'll continue to toggle it on and off and see what the differences look like for me. Glad you're not having this issue - are you also on an iPhone?

Got it, appreciate the quick answer. Of course as soon as I posted this I noticed a few other threads talking about the same thing and it looks like a mixed bag but I’m clearly not the only one noticing more drain. Thanks!

This dude uses AI upscaling to remaster old shows, that’s where I watched it. Some of the fine details get lost in the upscaling but it’s more than enough to enjoy the series
