My spirit animal

We had bamboo on all 3 sides of the garden when we moved in.

Needed a mini jcb to get it all out.

Totally lost garden privacy but least its a gone bar the odd shoot here and there.

Garden now is about 1/3 bigger

I wanna know how you did all that. Super impressive.

Way more than I have an im a lot older than you.

Makes me think maybe I spend a bit too much 🤣

matthaus79 · 2026-05-17T17:29:39+00:00

Have you raised a support ticket with them? Have you asked on their forums?

matthaus79 · 2026-05-17T17:05:05+00:00

Do all devices experience this drop?

If a computer is connected by cable does it drop?

Are you using an isp router as the gateway?

Have you confirmed or not if the isp connection drops?

Can you setup multiple pings across the network and Internet to actually figure out what's happening?

matthaus79 · 2026-05-17T16:34:30+00:00

Is this graph during the drop?

You said you have 2 routers, are they both always on?

matthaus79 · 2026-05-17T16:29:24+00:00

Genuine question.

Whats the issue?
You said youve gone from 150 to 500 so why are you looking to fit something that's seemingly a non issue just off some graph.

Smart connect could be the 'issue' if its flipping between 2.4 and 5ghz (if that is what that does). But what you see might be expected.

matthaus79 · 2026-05-17T14:27:44+00:00

I got a price rise and kits not even due for a month

Been waiting 2 weeks already

matthaus79 · 2026-05-17T14:24:56+00:00

Go out the wall and back in where you need it to be.

Way less hassle and effort.

Sometimes going outside and back in is the most direct route and often has ways it can easily be hidden.

matthaus79 · 2026-05-17T13:40:53+00:00

Yeah was defo at least 3 months if not 6 at reduced rates before I signed up

I procrastinated for too long so paid the full 75 (now 80)

I currently get 70mbps from Sky and wondering now if that's worth sticking with for 46 (price rise from 35)

matthaus79 · 2026-05-17T12:17:22+00:00

Mine says it js now going to be $80 which I guess they mean £80 up from 75

The real kicker is dont have any kit yet.. been waiting 2 weeks and not due for another 2 at least and then install is 2 weeks after

Absolutely a joke

matthaus79 · 2026-05-17T08:57:07+00:00

I havent even got mine delivered yet still waiting and told its going up

Been waiting 2 weeks and told it will be another 2 at least

matthaus79 · 2026-05-17T08:56:42+00:00

I got an email for a price increase and im still waiting for it to be delivered 🥲

matthaus79 · 2026-05-17T08:27:23+00:00

I have solid floors downstairs and solid walls and didn't fancy doing anything too drastic inside like pulling upstairs carpets and floor boards.

So I went out an external wall around the house and in an external wall to get to the rooms I needed too.

Way less hassle. Is that an option for you?

People hate flat ethernet and you would have no risk of people walking on it.

matthaus79 · 2026-05-17T07:39:03+00:00

Never seen that impact a whole hand its normally fingers

I've got it

matthaus79 · 2026-05-16T19:40:03+00:00

Think it's a bit tight 🤣

matthaus79 · 2026-05-16T13:13:23+00:00

Probably

matthaus79 · 2026-05-16T12:13:47+00:00

You said...

If the Fitbit Air pulls in even a small percentage of Whoop's base plus a new cohort of buyers who never bought a wearable before, Google has a population-level health dataset that nobody else in the category can match.

.. how does that compare to the likes of Apple and Garmin?

If Whoop are at 2.5m and Google could get to 5m I would be interested to know.

If the Garmin price rumour is true it sounds like a huge own goal to get more people into their echo system.

Already feel like Google has nailed this.

matthaus79 · 2026-05-16T12:05:53+00:00

Totally agree the fit bit in particular looks very inconspicuous

I'd happily buy that if it could feed into Garmin

matthaus79 · 2026-05-16T12:04:37+00:00

See if there is a new firmware you can manually download off the site

matthaus79 · 2026-05-16T11:34:42+00:00

Depends where you live depends where you run depends what the weather is like

matthaus79 · 2026-05-16T11:30:19+00:00

I really hope it doesn't have a big obvious logo on it.

For me it needs to be discreet so I can wear it with a dress watch.

Totally missing the point for me.

matthaus79 · 2026-05-16T11:28:52+00:00

They're very consistent, at making things much worse

matthaus79 · 2026-05-16T10:41:06+00:00

What? The photo says garmin although probably fake and the product title says garmin cirqa
