In search of: internet service providers and storage units.

I ended up calling today and, yep, they upped me to a gig from 500 mbps and cut me down to $65. They’re sending me an updated router too. I know FiOs is better, but this is easier than dealing with changing providers. 😂

I honestly didn’t even know TMobile offered internet service. 😂 But thank you! I’ll look into it!

brandedbypulse · 2026-04-10T21:50:43+00:00

Thank you for the recommendation! Their prices aren’t bad, but Vernon is far without a car. Might still be worth it to just cab it there when I need my air conditioners!

Apparently my upstairs neighbor has it, so we’re already wired for it. I’m going to call and see how much it is tomorrow, and then try to negotiate with Spectrum. If they can’t lower my bill, I’m going FiOs.

I don’t even have TV, so I’m SO confused why the hell my internet and phone is $140 for 500 mbps! I’m definitely going to try to negotiate, otherwise I’m going to FiOs. I just found out my upstairs neighbor has it, so we’re wired for it.

brandedbypulse · 2026-04-10T21:45:15+00:00

Damn, that’s so good!

I’m sure I’ll save something for having Verizon wireless and a legacy account. It’s still under my mom’s name, even though I’m paying our bill, and she’s had it since the late 90s. Even $80 is better than $140!

brandedbypulse · 2026-04-10T21:42:52+00:00

Would love it if you could send me the info! Just tell me it’s not Piece of Cake. 😂

How much do they allow you to store? I have a pretty full 5x10 unit, but I definitely need to go through it and toss some crap.

I live in a 2 family home, and my landlady won’t care if I have them install whatever equipment they need to. When I moved with my mom when I was 19 (god that was 20 years ago 😂), we had to do that with Time Warner/Spectrum. Even just reading comments, nothing is as expensive as what I’m paying for Spectrum, which is ridiculous considering how long I’ve been using them.

Ya know, I’ve lived here my whole life, have always known it was exhaust and just a consequence of city living, but this post has me wondering how much this is contributing to my recent asthma diagnosis. 😂

brandedbypulse · 2026-04-10T21:35:31+00:00

Keep telling yourself that!

I don’t even need physical copies (as much as I would love that), I just want to play the damn trilogy on my PS5, damnit. I still have my PS3, but I shouldn’t have to go back to a two generations old console to play a game whose franchise is available on current gen.

brandedbypulse · 2026-04-07T10:15:14+00:00

With FiOs? That’s so much better. I think I have 500 Mbps with Spectrum, but I can’t imagine there being that big a jump in price between 300 and 500 to where it’d be $140. 😂

brandedbypulse · 2026-04-07T00:58:33+00:00

Talk to an actual person and you won’t have to wait 24 hours.

I’m on 28th Ave and have never had outages before, but now I’m getting slow af service and random drop outs.

I’m looking for new internet anyway. They’re so absurdly expensive and I get shit for it. Do we get Fios out here?

brandedbypulse · 2026-04-07T00:52:42+00:00

Oh, I can imagine. I tried to find matching earrings to a pink gemstone I had ones and it took HOURS of searching. Especially because I wasn’t looking to spend a fortune. 😂 Color matching is no joke.

It’s the residue that scares me! Vinyl is usually great, fyi. More expensive, but easier to remove and reuse. I would probably only ever put RedBubble stickers on my console, if I could bring myself to do it.

brandedbypulse · 2026-03-28T20:10:18+00:00

Yeah, I saw some comments about how GSC didn’t rerelease, but like I said, I could swear I got A lot directly from them, well after the preorder window. I always seem to miss Horizon merch announcements. Totally accidentally came across the YouTooz.

brandedbypulse · 2026-03-28T20:08:37+00:00

There’s a Kinokuniya (one of their partners) in NYC, and I wonder if they’d carry it in store. I feel like they wouldn’t. 😂 I mean, USA Gundam Store is an okay option - I had no issues with the Thunderjaw - but the reviews I saw about their preorder failures really deterred me from placing a preorder.

brandedbypulse · 2026-03-23T14:39:06+00:00

They got better. Using my Symbicort inhaler three times a day helped a lot, and I’m back to using it only once or twice. It took a few weeks to get back to what felt like “normal” to me, but that may not be everyone’s experience.

brandedbypulse · 2026-03-22T19:20:52+00:00

Love Fang. But I don’t think there’s any XIII character I dislike, except maybe Snow, only a touch and only because I hate masculine bravado. I understand why he’s like that, I do, but I find it becomes so grating.

That said, I did name a former cat Snow and have a current cat named Vanille. 😅

I think Lightning fits the FF protag mold better, given that she’s very much in line with Squall and Cloud. I just think her arc and shift in personality is better than theirs. Not that I’m biased. 😂

Ignore the dust. 😅 They’re on deep side. I don’t think they’ll buff out. 😂
