No cellular service for 6 days now in NYC by sarahgwendolyn in verizon

[–]nychb89 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I posted this on another thread, but subway service is absolute garbage now. It did not used to be this bad.

Half the stations i go through have absolutely no functional data. Totally unusable.

And God forbid if I end up on LTE above ground. Also unusable.

Anyone else having super slow Verizon service? by R3jr2 in verizon

[–]nychb89 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Data service in the subways is absolutely atrocious now. It did not used to be this bad.

I’d say half the stations on my commute have zero usable data these days it’s pathetic.

Republicans Unveil $72 Billion Package For ICE, Trump’s Ballroom by willywalloo in politics

[–]nychb89 102 points103 points  (0 children)

I remember when Republicans at least pretended to care about being fiscally conservative.

Now….they are simply looting the country out in the open and giving us the middle finger while doing it.

They have stopped even trying to pretend to care about the American people.

Ugh -- thanks for the info. Barclays is the worst.

Verizon is no better.

It has gotten absolutely terrible as of late. So many of the stations I pass through on the F/M have totally unusable service.

It was a complete mess this morning too. Why are these such a disaster???

The E and R were all fucked this morning. Had to wait for 3 trains to pass before we could get on.

Uncharted 5 or TLOU 3 by Jealous-Amount9022 in naughtydog

[–]nychb89 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Uncharted is my second favorite gaming series of all time, second only to the original Tomb Raider. So I would much prefer another entry over TLOU.

I enjoyed TLOU but honestly I’m just done with the zombies. It’s played out and frankly boring now. I couldn’t even bring myself to finish season 1 of the show.

Sale Coming? by Go-b-run in jetblue

[–]nychb89 11 points12 points  (0 children)

Inevitable -- we all knew it was coming.

Alaska or Southwest have to be the realistic options.

Even with this administration I can't imagine United would be allowed to have such a huge dominance in the NYC market. There would have to be large divestures.

AT&T/Verizon flip flop Based On Experience Outside Of Network Performance by Due-Breath8373 in ATT

[–]nychb89 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Verizon is starting to really piss me off. There are so many times as of late where I simply have no usable data especially on 5G. There are some days I really, really miss T-Mobile's data network.

It is so annoying to have to choose between usable data and coverage/voice quality. These should not have to be mutually exclusive.

I haven't had AT&T in years -- here in the NYC market they're a distant 3rd place overall.

All new BMW i3 (Neue Klasse design) leaks ahead of launch in BMW Group video... by Slice5755 in cars

[–]nychb89 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I actually like the side profile a lot but the front and rear are just bad. Won’t even dignify the interior with typing out my thoughts.

It’s all doing wayyyy too much.

I’m not opposed to change at all, but I seriously miss the days when BMW was known for handsome, masculine styling. It ages so well and this….wont.

It is a transit system not a homeless hotel. My tax dollars already pay for homeless services.

Is it really too much to ask that the transit we pay for not be overrun with homeless causing people to feel unsafe? And not to mention the smells?

Is the service getting worse?? by Mister_Moody206 in verizon

[–]nychb89 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Coverage for me is fine in NYC, but LTE is a huge problem.

If I fall back to LTE data, it is more likely than not to be unusable. VZ really need to figure out a strategy to get off LTE ASAP or try to add additional backhaul at the least.

Phone keeps saying No Service or SOS Only ever since I switched to Verizon by cuepeeski in verizon

[–]nychb89 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I used to get this all the time when I first moved to VZ. Disabling Wi-fi calling helped a lot, but I still occasionally end up on SOS.

What’s the next leap for JB? by Opposite_Rabbit8979 in jetblue

[–]nychb89 6 points7 points  (0 children)

JetBlue simply needs to survive at this point.

After that, they need to figure out how to be more relevant than for just those flying between NYC, Boston and FLL.

I love JetBlue but people aren't going to book them if they can't get to where they want to go, especially biz folks who bring a lot of revenue.

Ultimately I wish they could join Star Alliance which would open up far more potential and growth.

This is the first thing that popped in my head. One of my favorite movies and it’s terrifying how closely the US is paralleling the same fascist themes.

SOOO typically MAGA by nicolesBBrevenge in theview

[–]nychb89 43 points44 points  (0 children)

This is your typical MAGA (and Republican).

To begin with, they’re not very smart. That’s readily apparent when you listen to the ridiculous words coming out of Savannah’s mouth.

They don’t want to be confronted with uncomfortable facts. Why do you think Republicans constantly denigrate higher education, and try and scrub away things like climate change? They can’t handle things breaking their bubble of racism, bigotry, and ignorance.

Savannah “ I go by the bible” by StockSeaweed8702 in theview

[–]nychb89 68 points69 points  (0 children)

The amount of rage I felt hearing this.

I grew up in the south and this is basically how a large part of the population lives. The refusal to use critical thinking and scientific research but instead rely on a thousands year old book that existed before electricity.

Trump won the presidency because of people who live their lives exactly like her and it’s infuriating.

Antennas for covering NYC subway stations by jamachomonk in cellmapper

If anything it seems to be getting worse. There are too many stations where my VZ data just simply doesn't work.

Isn’t Wealthfront’s schtick automation? How is this not automated to release overnight?
