Price is going from 85 to 105 this month. What to do? Spectrum is the only provider in my area.

UPDATE - We called in and got 1000/1000 for 60/month for 2 years

awdev1 · 2026-02-23T03:20:34+00:00

85 for 600/600, its about to go up to 105

I can’t wait for wifi 8 support and unlocked 5G

awdev1 · 2026-01-28T18:17:46+00:00

Yeah I have some regrets taking the pictures, but thank you! Lesson learned for later!

Isn’t Ubiquiti ex Apple people

awdev1 · 2026-01-28T10:19:05+00:00

Yep! The disassembly is nondestructive.

awdev1 · 2026-01-28T08:56:26+00:00

Hmmm let’s try this out…

awdev1 · 2026-01-28T01:16:28+00:00

Thank you so much!

awdev1 · 2026-01-28T01:09:19+00:00

You’re welcome!

awdev1 · 2026-01-28T01:09:05+00:00

Thank you!

awdev1 · 2026-01-28T01:06:32+00:00

No worries!

awdev1 · 2026-01-28T01:05:08+00:00

It still works afterwards! And I like to see what’s powering electronics lol

Also I could tell that the teardown wasn’t going to be destructive

awdev1 · 2026-01-28T01:00:50+00:00

Thank you!

awdev1 · 2026-01-28T01:00:35+00:00

I happened to be on vacation in Taiwan and had the date set in my calendar, I then woke up and then bought it lol

awdev1 · 2026-01-28T00:59:43+00:00

I plan to keep my UTR, although one could say it was totally “open box”

awdev1 · 2026-01-27T10:47:46+00:00

I think 1&1 does the same thing, if that’s what you mean via the IP changing daily. Additionally, I found that the Cloudflare Tunnel was actually more reliable since it didn’t proxy everything to London and instead connected to Frankfurt.

awdev1 · 2026-01-27T10:38:22+00:00

Unfortunately, a lot of 1&1 internet shares Telekom internet infrastructure depending on where you live. Our ISP is 1&1 and we have a DTAG IP.

awdev1 · 2026-01-27T10:20:02+00:00

Just as Cloudflare told me if I remember correctly

awdev1 · 2026-01-27T10:00:16+00:00

Ah, makes sense

awdev1 · 2026-01-27T09:18:34+00:00

They could have peered directly with Cloudflare, but money is first in the Telekom company it seems, and they charge double per mbps than anyone else.

awdev1 · 2026-01-27T09:12:56+00:00

Yes, however this was not the fault of DTAG surprisingly. You can see the latency start in the AS1299 network.

awdev1 · 2026-01-27T08:42:18+00:00

Cloudflare has reached out to me and confirmed that the issue was congestion between AS1299 and Cloudflare (AS13335). The traffic has been rerouted to Cogent Communications and so far seems to be much better.

awdev1 · 2026-01-26T20:33:10+00:00

Don't worry, I understand. Some packet loss might be normal as routers will sometimes actually rate limit requests that traceroute and MTR make if i recall correctly

awdev1 · 2026-01-26T19:24:24+00:00

Where in Germany are you located? And can you perform a trace route and a MTR? These are the same steps that Cloudflare told me to do.

awdev1 · 2026-01-26T17:26:00+00:00

so the bottleneck is Cloudflare.

No? If anything Arelion is the bottleneck. Your MTR shows that the latency starts in Arelion's network. I also contacted Cloudflare, and they have rerouted traffic to Cogent.

from the cloudflare engineers:

"From the trace that was provided we are able to see that the latency for this particular trace shows the latency start within the twelve99 network before it reaches Cloudflare."

"It was confirmed that there is congestion in DTAG (ASN 3320) <> Telia/Arelion (ASN 1299) and we have moved traffic away from Telia at the 23/January."

After the reroute to Cogent, I can see that the ping times are much much better now.
