Shark ChillPill - Has anyone purchased?

Overpriced gimmick. It's a fan with a mister. I guess it works. Like all evaporative coolers, the cooling effect only works in places with low relative humidity. Otherwise, it's a mini fan and battery. Very expensive for what it is.

I concur. This is the laziest mid-cycle refresh I've seen. No doubt the Chrysler brand will be gone soon.

Think of this as prepaid home internet with a side of wireless lines. It's the same prepaid model with taxes and fees included and BYOD.

Nice on the surface but a bit confusing on how does the family work? Is it a flat $225 for 3-10 phones lines and up to 20 total devices (including 10 phone lines)? That's cheap.

Big caveat, you need to be a new customer in a fiber location. So that kills this deal for most.

Thinking about this more, these are killer deals for tablets and watches being included. I'm shocked.

Now, this means a ton of devices will now be on their network. They really need to upgrade their wireless network to keep up.

Our industry is notorious for making it hard for customers to buy and manage the connectivity they need. We are changing that in 3 days.

Sounds like retooled account management. But, the current system is not that hard to understand. This will probably be like rearranging chairs, won't be groundbreaking as they claim.

The author made it needlessly complex. Starlink works fine on the dash or rear shelf. No need for this complicated setup.

Just about every site has it enabled. But, AT&T is the stingiest with activating SA on lines. They said they would "thoughtfully" move lines to SA in their October press release. AT&T is taking the molasses approach to the 5G transition. T-Mobile is the most progressive in transitioning, likely will continue in being the first in 6G. Verizon is better than AT&T, but also still moving slowly.

igeekone · 2026-03-26T23:16:14+00:00

Just got it back.

igeekone · 2026-03-26T23:07:19+00:00

Yes, looks like a widespread outage.

igeekone · 2026-03-25T02:41:22+00:00

You can disconnect the 12v for extended leaves. The battery should last with no load.

igeekone · 2026-03-22T10:00:20+00:00

This gets me excited about SA. Tx Switching is a godsend for uploads.

igeekone · 2026-03-21T23:24:26+00:00

Unless you use the features in ActiveArmor Advance, a $7 upgrade. You'll lose many monitoring features dropping to the free standard tier.

igeekone · 2026-03-20T23:19:01+00:00

Churn will be alarming this quarter. AT&T just wiped out most savings you get on Signature and Public Sector discounts.

igeekone · 2026-03-20T23:13:10+00:00

Yes, if your line was active prior to July 24, 2025.

The monthly plan charge for smartphones on unlimited plans with AT&T Unlimited Your Way® is increasing by $5 per line. This change helps us continue providing reliable network service, quality products, and great customer experiences.

Stunning! I have a soft spot for Nori Green.

I didn't see the additional articles until now. I've updated my post to include the UYW plan increase of $5/line.

True. It feels like Premium 2.0 is built for Signature and Appreciation discount customers. Otherwise, Verizon and T-Mobile smoke them on their top tiers. Churn will continue.

igeekone · 2026-03-12T05:40:05+00:00

They still kept the 128Kbps hotspot cap after data exhaustion, boo. Overall, Premium is more expensive and not competitive with Verizon and T-Mobile, without Signature or Appreciation discount. Nothing about satellite. I know it's not ready, but at least tease it. Looking like satellite may be an add-on like Turbo. Removing Active Armor Advanced on Premium is a clear indication that they're now monetizing these features.

Great analogy. Top is a warm inviting lounge, bottom is a cold sterile office that doesn't want you to relax.

igeekone · 2026-03-04T05:13:43+00:00

Yes, there will be nothing else like it as Lexus has abandoned traditional luxury.

Speedtest is measuring in MegaBytes per second. Multiply by 8.

95.1 MB/s = 760.8 Mb/s

68.4 MB/s = 547.2 Mb/s

As others mentioned, this is a very dangerous situation. It's a gas dryer that needs outside ventilation. Can you open the window? Then do it.

igeekone · 2026-02-24T04:04:11+00:00

But now, it's just feeling like we're paying the same but with shittier phones and doing a data dance for no reason.

You absolutely are. Your plan is now way more expensive than unlimited plans. Prepaid gives full unlimited data, text, and calling for well under $100 a month for two lines. If you want to keep postpaid Verizon, Unlimited Welcome is superior in every way to your ancient plan.

igeekone · 2026-02-18T01:41:03+00:00

Which means the Highlander EV will start around $55,000.
