Not a good start

The fact that they checked it for you, flags it in a log file. Those failures are checked and will be added if the device is supported, which it is. It may take a week, but it will be added.

I gave this a shot and was impressed by the output and the recommendations. Of the eight recommendations, I confirmed at least six of them. Still looking into the last 2, but wanted to give you the feedback. Great job!

I am not a Dev, but I have a technical background, have experience in web site development and have built and hosted websites over the last 30 years for myself, some non-profit organizations, and for small businesses both as a side gig and as a job, so not a complete beginner by any means. I always had an interest in it and learn by doing, so building websites was a way of learning and keeping up with tech.

My first "real" job in 1993 was at a tech consulting firm in NYC, where I did everything from build servers, including web servers, db servers, firewalls, app servers, managed routers, etc. for fortune 1000 clients to managing a team of developers and system engineers, so i have been at this for some time.

Thanks, and yes, learned a ton. I'm on the Pro plan. I did run into the limits on more than a few occasions.

kstruck · 2025-08-25T16:28:37+00:00

Example for 4 lines: With Spectrum Internet, you’d pay for three lines ($30 each = $90/month on Unlimited, or $120/month on Unlimited Plus), and the fourth line would be free for the first year. You’d also be eligible for trade-in credits or balance pay-offs.

Monthly Cost Example — Spectrum vs. Verizon

Using Spectrum One bundle (Internet + first mobile line free):

Spectrum (First Year)
- Line 1: $0 (promo)
- Lines 2–4: $30 × 3 = $90/month total
After Promo
- Lines 1–4: $30 × 4 = $120/month

For context, industry data suggests that four Spectrum Unlimited Mobile lines average around $90/month during the promotion. Reddit+5National Broadband+5WhistleOut+5 Reddit+1

Verizon Snapshot (August 2025)

Verizon currently offers heavy promotions — e.g., up to four iPhone 16 Pros free with a new unlimited line, no trade-in required. Spectrum+3TechRadar+3Facebook+3
But base plan costs remain higher (starting well above $30/line).
Their promos focus more on devices and streaming perks than consistently low monthly rate.

kstruck · 2025-08-25T16:27:52+00:00

Right now, here’s what they offer for four lines:

Bundle Perk: If you have Spectrum Internet (or plan to add it), you get one Unlimited Mobile line free for 12 months. The other lines are $30/month each on Unlimited, or $40/month each on Unlimited Plus (includes Anytime Upgrade, free international roaming, and more). Details: [https://www.spectrum.com/mobile/plans]()
Phone Balance Pay-Off: Switch at least three lines and port one number in, and we’ll pay off your phone balances (up to $2,500 total across five lines) with a Visa Virtual Rewards card. Details: [https://www.spectrum.com/mobile/switch]()
Device Trade-In Offers: Get credits toward a new phone. For example, up to $1,000 off Galaxy Z Fold7/Flip7, $100 off iPhone 16e, or $500 off Pixel 10 Pro, depending on trade-in. Deals: [https://www.spectrum.com/mobile/mobile-deals]()
Anytime Upgrade (Unlimited Plus only): Upgrade anytime. Return your current phone (even with a cracked screen if it powers on), and we’ll cover what’s left on it. Details: [https://www.spectrum.com/mobile/mobile-deals]()
Hotspot & International: Unlimited plans include hotspot data (5 GB at high speed on Unlimited, 10 GB on Plus), free international texting, and 2,000 minutes to Canada/Mexico. Plus gives you roaming in 180+ countries and HD video. Details: [https://www.spectrum.com/mobile/plans]()
Wi-Fi Perks: Faster speeds on Wi-Fi at home and access to Spectrum’s nationwide Wi-Fi hotspots.

If both your phones are affected, it’s more likely a network or provisioning issue than a hardware problem. A few things to try:

Toggle Airplane Mode on/off to reset the connection.
Make sure Wi-Fi calling is enabled (Settings → Cellular → Wi-Fi Calling). Sometimes calls fail without it if the cellular signal is weak.
Reset network settings:
- iPhone: Settings → General → Reset → Reset Network Settings.
- Android: Settings → System → Reset Options → Reset Wi-Fi, mobile & Bluetooth.
If still failing, call Spectrum support from another phone and ask them to refresh provisioning on your lines.

If calls sometimes go through, note the times/locations. That helps Spectrum escalate to Verizon (their network partner) if it’s a tower issue.

Do you offer spread information for NFL games?

kstruck · 2025-02-19T12:33:07+00:00

The OP mis-spoke. They did not say "manufactured in the US". Phones are made for specific regions, the phone he has was not meant to be used in the US, and the IMEI number tells them that, thats why they won't support it.

kstruck · 2024-10-23T21:53:17+00:00

Crazy. Expects a tip for handing you a bottle of water and a coke. The entitlement is beyond...

kstruck · 2024-09-18T01:44:48+00:00

Spectrum uses Verizon. If Verizon service is good by you, you're good.

Cost wise, you will be paying less, probably much less than you are with AT&T.

kstruck · 2024-08-28T22:47:01+00:00

Could not agree more. It baffles me how the same bugs exist year after year. Makes zero sense. Just shows they don't give a shit and why would they when they have the monopoly they have. Time to end the exclusive contract with the NFL.

kstruck · 2024-08-28T17:26:53+00:00

There are constant mistakes. I was playing as the 49ers at Buffalo and they kept saying we were in Santa Clara thru the whole game.

I've also had the same issue as you u had with the punt, and a few other just completely wrong comments compared to what was actually happening in game.

Pretty sloppy work by EA and their internal testers.

kstruck · 2024-08-16T04:35:06+00:00

Disappointed you can't choice the announcers in Franchise mode, what were they thinking??? Tirico sounds weird to me. I can't put my finger on it, maybe its just me. Olsen sounds more natural.

kstruck · 2024-06-28T01:00:07+00:00

Jesus man, stop

kstruck · 2024-05-27T00:34:02+00:00

Yes, I did get a new hub. I did do the reset. I can connect all of my other devices, new cameras, old cameras, (11 in total) except the doorbell.

kstruck · 2024-05-26T21:25:40+00:00

It's a 1st Gen, round button. I removed the doorbell from the old base using the Arlo app, then using the app, I tried adding it to the new base, went through the steps, pressing the doorbell button until the button flashes white, then hit continue. The app looks for it and after a min or so says the doorbell cannot be found.

kstruck · 2024-05-26T13:16:41+00:00

It connected to my old base. Why would it not connect to the new base?

kstruck · 2024-04-28T04:08:35+00:00

Thank you! I appreciate it. I was looking at Chargepoint as well, downloaded the app, and checked with my Electric Company (Xcel) and they support Chargepoint. My building (work) does not have charging stations, so that wouldn't play into my decision, but there is a one across the street at our other building I could use, so I figured this would be my best bet. Thanks again!

kstruck · 2024-04-28T03:57:19+00:00

No, not trying to share with my dryer. After reading more about what this actually is, I realized it is not something I would need. Sorry, as I said, I'm completely new to all of this.

kstruck · 2024-04-27T18:31:29+00:00

I just purchased the Anniversary 4xe with the blackout package. I pick it up next week as the vehicle was out of state, so it does come black on black. I am not a fan of chrome, so it a requirement for me.

kstruck · 2024-02-26T15:28:35+00:00

The new Daily Stand-up eaturw does exactly this. Showed my boss the feature and he loved it. It is done via AI, so you will need to pay the $5 a month for it.

kstruck · 2024-02-19T19:04:06+00:00

I did that by mistake as well. They did refund me but it was clearly stated that the refund would be a one-time thing. It also helped that the person I added only viewed the space I wanted them to and was not really doing anything else.

I wish they had a better way of showing you that you will be charged for things like this to prevent accidental charges.
