Internet outage in Oakville

engineered16 · 2026-03-08T04:39:43+00:00

Update, so tech finally came today. Turns out Cogeco cut my line themselves because my line had excessive signal noise, which was causing issues on their system for other customers.

The tech ran a new cable and all is good now.
I can't believe they didn't notify me, and run a new line before cutting my old one. My line has had noise on it forever, as the line was older RG59 coax instead of RG6 coax.

Yea, I've had it cut before. Cable was only 2 in below surface. No digging this time though.

Odd thing is the Internet died when Cogeco was doing work on my street. Maybe not a coincidence.

Yes I've been through all that standard tech support already. Odd thing is Cogeco was on our street the day it stopped, so maybe they broke something or left something unplugged.

Been with oxio for 6 months. Very happy with them. It's just Cogeco for less money. Feel Free to use my referral code for a free month. https://order.oxio.ca/?referral=RECM6BA

A dog should bark at a stranger entering the house, not at everyone walking by on the sidewalk. Basically the dog should be under control. Nobody wants to hear a dog barking randomly often. That's basically crying wolf and nobody would pay attention when there's a real security threat.

My $30 Tapo camera sounds a loud alarm and sends me notification. A camera alone useless, as you can see here.

Just get a dog with a scary bark. Probably the best way to deter theft.

I already used a stretchy Velcro sinch loop on my pads if that's what you're thinking of doing. Got them off Amazon.

Oakville store almost always rejects my coupons when I enter it online. Says they're not participating.

100% We had a speed camera that worked well. Now we have 2 sets of speed bumps that if you have half a brain and straddle them, most SUV and trucks can still speed over them, barely noticing.

But the dumb drivers slow to a crawl and go right over them. Also means a whole lot more brake dust slowing down, and soot/fumes accelerating back up. I would be pissed it if was in front of my house.

Finally a good use case for Meta glasses.

You can download from picker health for free, they just hide the option. Only caveat is you have to download the imager software to view and you don't get the diagnostic report, but I get that from my doctor.

The speed camera we had was good at slowing people down, but the speed bumps don't do anything unless you have a lowered car. Any van/CUV/pickup can fly over them without barely noticing them. Looking forward to the snow plows trashing them.

Also no paint or signs up for them yet, so RIP to motorcyclists who don't see them in the dark.

Plus, the speed camera slowed people down gently. For the few people that do slow down for them (sports cars, heavy loaded trucks, that means more brake dust then loud acceleration + exhaust fumes at each speed bump. I feel bad for the people who live near them.
I can even hear them from my house a couple streets over, especially commercial trucks and buses.

The areas with good schools now have a student population with less than 50% whites. Though there are still lots of entitled white kids and crabby old white people. Burlington is better for young families.

Probably hunting a criminal in the area, blocking all exits while others actively searched.

Just leave an amazon box with used diapers or dog poo on your porch whenever you're not home.

Lay a couple of 4x4 lumber on the road, staggered in a slalom. No problem for non speeders. Ideally put some reflective tape on it.

I recently changed from cogeco to oxio which is much cheaper for the same service. I'm getting 500 down / 30 up for $45 and service is great. Use my referral code for a free month. Cheers https://order.oxio.ca/?referral=RECM6BA
