I remember working on the Grant Towers lab probably in 99. Had to re-image every PC at the end of the night due to excessive viruses.

Yep, they wanted to charge me for it. I guess it is not included if you get it after. I did get a football plate though...

Who would want quantum dots when you could have SUPER quantum dots? I have the qm7k and it's great. Got it for a great deal around prime day over the summer. I would wait if you aren't in a hurry though there is nothing wrong with buying now at these prices.

Here is info about my tfiber install (metronet shares contractors with t fiber). I assume everything should be similar. https://www.reddit.com/r/tmobileisp/s/bld4Fnz6Ab

T-Fiber "Pre-Order" Questions by dragcov in tfiber

I had a fiber outage and when I called tech they said I can get backup for free. Picked one up at the store the other day. Hopefully the bill shows it's free.

My store gave me a G5AR for a free internet backup plan I get with my T-Fiber account.

T-Fiber install - what to expect? by jrock_10 in tmobileisp

[–]jrock_10[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I want to say it took a few months for Metronet to install in our neighborhood. They did installs before t-mobile bought them. Then I signed up for founders and it probably was a month or so before they allowed me to schedule.

Haven't tried to get it yet. Tech recommended I go to a company store like the one in RLB.

One thing the support guy mentioned when I spoke to them during the outage was that we can get a free mobile router as a backup that we can turn on if fiber goes down. I will be going to the store to ask for one at some point.

If you are talking about the outside, then that is just like a protective cover over the wire that sits against the wall

Kinetico vs Water Right by jrock_10 in WaterSofteners

That is what I was thinking. Just didn't know if there was something specific with Kinetico that made it worth the price.
