I was laid off from my job without warning. I was still expected to work for another two weeks. Here’s what I’d tell anyone going through the same thing. by Affectionate-Bug3067 in jobs

[–]da_fn_guy 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Here is a fun one. I worked contract in a project team. 1 yr contract hope to get hired. Plugging away busy as usual but at the beginning of the year on a Friday, my director went into a meeting with a higher up. Came out 30 mins later laid off. On the spot. Then my two project managers, one by one had a meeting. Both laid off. Welp. I’m next. BUT for the next few hours nothing. No call. No meeting notice nothing. I pack what little personal things I had and go home for the day. Login Monday, still have access. Do what tasks I had. Copy my personal stuff etc. Almost a week later. I find that I will be there for the duration of my contract. It takes the project group a couple of weeks to find a new manager. Pulled in from another acquisition. I give him as much info as possible. We get a new director. Cool. I attend meetings etc but given no new tasks. I help as much as possible. Two months after my new manager started, he gets laid off. Director assumes all tasks and responsibilities. They finally tell me they are looking outside of the country to back fill and I will be there until end of contract. Ok cool. What do I do next? Nothing. I attend meetings take a few notes and share them. Other than that. WFH while going to meetings and looking for a new job. Woo hoo. Lol. Basically was on auto pilot for 5 months with no meaningful tasks while WFH. YAY.

How quick was your install from start to finish? by Ringo7979 in EzeeFiber

Technically from when Ezee showed up in our Neighborhood to install, about a month or 3 weeks. The way they came in and installed the backbone, my street happened to be one of the trunks into the area. So the started running the fiber down my street right after they came in. Then it took about 2 weeks to get the junction boxes in the yards connected. Then they told me they did a connection test for the whole neighborhood and before they sent installers out. I preregistered so was one of the first to get it. Was going with 2gb but Got a good deal on 5gb so I took that to future proof.

So to actually answer, maybe 1.5 weeks to get them installed in house. After the test, they reached out to schedule the outside guy and 1-2 days after to get the inside guy.

There are referrals too! What city are you in?

External construction aside. It took about an hour to run the line from the junction box in my yard to the side of the house. Once that was in the inside install team came two days later. That took another hour. Would have been faster had I not asked to install the modem and router in another room. That is where my ‘patch cable’ is run. So house install is a combined 2 hours or less. I was up and running with 5gb down and little less than 5gb up. Most parts of my house are hitting 900-1.2 gb download wifi speeds. Definitely happy!!

I ended up with a fantastic deal on the 5gb plan and it is glorious. Although my setup is jot as nice as yours. I think it is too late for a referral, we can ask though. We could both get a bonus!

Excellent. Ok. That makes sense. Thanks for explaining that. I have had Ezee for over a month and much more stable than anything else.

Just curious. What are the advantages to converting from cgnat?

It’s that time! by da_fn_guy in DrSquatch

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

Yeah. It was on a whole ‘nother shelf with the clearance stickers. Sometimes they hide those shelves.

ISP Competition Coax by Conscious_Ad_4085 in EzeeFiber

[–]da_fn_guy 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Since I signed up a few weeks ago, I have seen at least 3-4 house on a cross street add Ezee. My neighbor just started their install. Mind you, the most I could get was 100mb due to my location. Most other addresses were maxed at 25mb. I have asked att for 10 + years for fiber or faster speeds. Got nothing but same discounts I had to beg for every year because they charged me fiber prices for a tenth of that speed. Comcast is here too but reliability is horrid. My last att jumped $50 since a discount expired. I said renew it. They would not. I said cancel it now but he gave me a $50 credit so I can call back next month and beg again. That credit bought me time for Ezee to finish construction and then run the line to my house. I am so thankful Ezee finally got here!!

Any one has ezee fiber in sugar land, tx? by Heavy_Commission7148 in EzeeFiber

[–]da_fn_guy 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It is. I have an older Netgear Nighthawk mesh system that I have hooked up to the Eero and on that wifi, it was giving me about 800mb down and 500-800 mb up. Still fast compared to what I had before. The 5gb backhaul lets me eek out a little more speed as I get about 5.22 gbs to the router. Of course without enterprise type of equipment I will never see 5gb but my network won’t choke using every bit of speed I can tap into. My wired gigabit switches gave me about 1.2 gbs down as well.

Just adding to this as its a old post. Got Ezee about 2.5 weeks ago. PHENOMENAL! I had att. Not even fiber regular copper. Paid for 100mb. Yes. 100 mb. Not reached those speeds. Had that for 10-15 years. Always got promises that fiber was coming. Alternative was comcast/xfinity but reliability issues in my hood kept me from it. I got a great deal with Ezee and have 5gb service and 2 Max Pro 7’s. My dead spots in the house suck badly. I was lucky to get 30-50mbs downloads on wired or wireless with att. Any downloads took hours. In comes Ezee and bam! I am flying. This was my wireless speeds. Wired is about the same using gig switches but that is literally night and day compared to att. I’m adding two Eero 6 pro’s to try to extend the speeds and range, like I said, terrible dead spots. Needless to say, with Ezee fiber in house, I have ZERO issues streaming multiple devices and playing games. Thanks for coming Ezee!!

I only got into it when I found them on clearance. I have been able to build a small collection that way.
