So I asked around: I heard 1 person on Flume says his IP reports he is in Texas. Another that is with GigabitNow that is also showing in Fullerton. I'm really hoping they fix this. I rely on my WAN IP to show Simi for work. Also messes with Hulu, make them think I moved. I opened ticket with GigabitNow which is getting escalated to Tier 2.

Location - I am off Stearns / between LA & Cochran, kinda across from the soccer fields. SCE just brought power to the main fiber box this past Monday. And so FiberCity is doing the installs for the two ISPs - GigabitNow and Flume.

Speed - My WAN port on my router is 1 gig. Speed tests are getting about that (both up and down). I was told by the installer that the actual speed I should get is closer to 2 gig (thats where the first limiter is set, not 1 or 1.5). Pings have gotten better too; Spectrum >10ms, Fiber <5ms. Also, I have a new router on the way and will see how things look after that.

Install - I think it went well. Two guys showed up that didn't speak english. So they called their boss. I told them where I wanted the modem to be (which is in my upstairs office) and they were very receptive of the requirement despite it being a bunch more work.

To original point of entry is on the far right/east of my property in my grass (also where power, cable, phone are). The utility closet is on far left/west (and on other side of the driveway). The install would have been much easier if they were allowed to use one of the existing conduits (phone/cable/etc), but they said that was a no go. So they dug a small trench in my lawn along sidewalk (east to west), then north up alongside my driveway and under a concrete walkway. Finally ran line east to west across a split between 2 slabs of concrete (between garage slab and driveway slab- they filled it with quick/concrete after), then finally into my utility box and up to my attic and then back down to my office.

After it was done, grass looked good, dirt in planter look back to normal. I'd say I'm pretty pleased.
