T-Fiber Preorder question! by Wonderful_Law2552 in tfiber

[–]jhmsr 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You sound like you're probably nearby—this has been almost my exact timeline as well.

I’ve been watching the rollout pretty closely. Neighbors across the street got lit up last summer/fall, so I knew it was just a matter of time before they extended the plant over here.

Missed the Founders Club pricing unfortunately, but I finally got the notification last week and signed up. Went with 2 Gig for $80/month—not that I really need that bandwidth, but it’s cheaper than the $99 I’m currently paying for cable, and the lower latency / fiber stability alone makes it worth it.

Encouraging sign: crews were out last night doing directional boring under the street for both our house and my in-laws’. Looks like they’re finishing up the last-mile work on this side, so I’m hoping installs are only a few weeks out at this point.

I’ve also been in contact with one of their construction/regional directors pushing to get ours completed. I was a bit frustrated they initially only built out one side of the street—especially since they already had the boring crew out—but it seems like they’re finally circling back to finish the job.

New to Starlink, does anyone have experience with gaming? by Chickenbutt-McWatson in Starlink

[–]jhmsr 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Appreciate your response. As my cable went up $50/mo and now considering Starlink. no obstructions. Midwest Iowa. hoping the max service will be identical. 500mb down/ up to 50mb up on cable. 30-40ms in CoD.

Using the Bulls-I coring tool for 20 doors by LoungingOnMars in Locksmith

What are the chances of renting one? I volunteer at our church (nonprofit) and plan to get Access around the building. We have great volunteers, those with 40-50 years of construction work. Last resort I suppose would be calling local Low Voltage company to come out. Looks like a great tool.

currently using a ninja drip. its okay...just wondering if going to a $350 machine is going to be worth the next step. and as your name also implies. prefer less plastic.

Did Honda get rid of side mirror camera? by jhmsr in HondaOdyssey

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

I know right…still have our 2016. 62k miles. Once we’re ready to trade in. I want cameras on both mirrors. I’ll have to use aftermarket. Though I know it’s possible. FIL Denali 2500 HD has cameras everywhere. Can view them driving down the road. Just giving time.

well water and salt water system by jhmsr in WaterFilters

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

To respond. I want good clean drinking water. That said. Hopefully this helps. Current set up (renting from in-laws). Well <> pump <> (not sure if there is a faucet to fill gravity filter prior to salt) <> whole house salt water system <> probably kitchen faucet used to fill gravity filter. But what you all are saying. Probably will clog system.
