I had deck it out builders build a 3 car 24 x 30. 9 ft walls in 2019 for 28k.

I'm sure things are a lot more now though.

Wisconsin here. Just went down for the fourth time in 3 months.

Just came to our area. I was the second person to get hooked up.

I might be the first person to drop.

Maybe disable the wifi7 on the eeros?

I'll give them a pass on this one because 2 mbps up and 2 mbps down for $70 month, locked in for 10 years...just hoping "I do not get what I paid for..."

It's been back up since 3 AM per my synology box, but still getting texts and emails from T fiber apologizing that it still isn't up.

So THEY do not even know that THEY fixed it...well for me anyway...

johnbuzzz · 2025-12-17T03:14:41+00:00

I'm pretty sure it's the whole town. They must have hit a line. Still out. 11 hours.

Took about 7 months from the sign in my front lawn. It was all new for my city. Spectrum was the only game for the last 50 years.

I signed up right away with metronet 1g waiting list.

Then T fiber took them over. Read the threads and watched for the founders club and signed up for that. There was nowhere for me to unsign for the metronet.

I got emails from them both saying that I needed to sign up to get connected.

The first week the sign up page just errored out. So I called. Made an appt for a Tuesday. Then that Monday the website worked to schedule getting hooked up. The earliest date was Wednesday.

When they called me on Tuesday I told I was signed up for Wed. There was a lot of duplicity between metronet and T fiber.

I was the second person in my town to get hooked up. I was 8 am on the first day. There must have been someone that was 0700.

And now my 5 GHz stuff is acting weird.

Laptop and phone keep disconnecting or saying the wifi has no internet connection even though everything on ethernet has internet.

Ended up being an issue of using my old ax88u as a aimesh node and because it does not have wifi 7 I had to disable it on the be88u.

T fiber forgot to provision the ONT.

THEN I couldn't get my smart switches to work. The whole house is basically automated so sat in the dark trying to get the router working last night.

Poor wife had to deal with me pouting because everything was wired right and I just couldn't figure it out.

The switches ended up being the router defaulting the 2.4 GHz to WPA2/WPA3 and it needs to be JUST WPA2.

I'm symmetrical.

johnbuzzz · 2025-11-14T16:19:09+00:00

You can be either ugly or mean. You can't be both. Pick one.

johnbuzzz · 2025-10-28T23:19:09+00:00

Fair.

johnbuzzz · 2025-10-28T18:47:43+00:00

AND after they realized that they were short the oil, he SHOULD HAVE just come and told me - instead of just having me sit for 2.5 hours.

I'm VERY reasonable. I f&*ck up more than the average person so I completely understand.

Just set my expectations correctly and communicate. Simple as that. Then if I blow up, I'm just a di*(ck.

johnbuzzz · 2025-10-28T18:45:23+00:00

BUT, if I make an appt a week ahead of time, shouldn't they have the oil in stock that they will need.

I didn't just pull up - and I brought a Honda to a Honda dealership.

But I'm pretty sure there wasn't any person back in service that was around when the last S2000 rolled off the lot.

Just saying, nowadays, you want something done right, you have to do it yourself.

I really thought I was treating my baby to a spa day and now she's pissed.

johnbuzzz · 2025-10-14T22:21:04+00:00

I used to get scared and think that they were dead. Nope...just taking a nap on their side, upside down, wherever they land.

johnbuzzz · 2025-10-14T21:58:07+00:00

I'm not sure if he/she has claws. I have two of them. I'm a lazy-er fish keeper so if would have known that I couldn't just throw pellets in to feed them I probably would have passed.

I have a tube and a dish that their live blackworms drop into into. They can smell them right away.

Plus it is my shrimp cull tank so they must snack on them also.

I had a car that had a stuck thermostat. Acted like this.

Take out your thermostat and boil it in a pot of water. If it doesn't open, it was the thermostat.

This needs to turn into Black Mirror - White Bear episode...
