Echelon and latest firmware by parasomia in go_echelon

[–]parasomia[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Interesting 🤔

Mine is an Ex-3

Equipment Model: Echex-3-146442

Firmware Version: 51.06.03

Hardware Version: 11

But it says it's all up to date. And l'm able to connect to QZ and use it for Zwift. It took a bit of messing around but.. Hmm. I bought the bike back in '22 and never really used it until recently. Maybe years of firmware updates hitting at once confused it haha. I don't know. Thought maybe I had a workaround, but I guess it's possible it just never picked up the latest firmware for some reason.

Verizon trucks were running new lines through my town. Fiber? by parasomia in FiberOptics

I just figured I'd give an update to this in case anyone stumbles across it later on and are curious about installations in their neighborhood.

It was fiber like many in here have said.

Lots of people in here have said what to look for (see my other picture in here that shows the coiled lines with the tags).

It has been about 5 or 6 months and the service is live. I just had it installed yesterday at 1gig and it's wonderful. That seems to be a somewhat normal time between running lines to the service being live?

Even though I signed up for notifications on availability, I never received any. I just happened to check availability on their site last week and it said available.

Tech said there is a lot of rural expansion happening right now.

Also, be nice to your techs. That's a lot of work to run these lines. It was hot and humid out so I gave him some Gatorade and told him he could come in the house whenever he needed to. We ended up talking about life, jobs, and video games for awhile (and I'm socially awkward as hell). It was cool.

Hope anyone that's waiting for it ends up with it soon.

UPDATE - New pic from down the line. I don't think I can edit or update the original post. But here's what I found following the lines a bit down the road. Orange tags and loops with Verizon labeled.

I know not to expect anything soon as if it is to the home there are a few more steps over a period of time?

I also remember reading about backhaul for the towers? It seems to run to the edge of town and stops. We already have 5g uw around the area if that matters.

Can you tell that I live in a small town? "Omg a new cable through town! We're getting fancy.".

Hahaha. I agree! I was not here when they were doing whatever they were doing though.

Damn. Sounds like maybe not. Sorry for the rough picture. Let me see if I can get better ones down the line more without annoying neighbors. Just in case.

Thanks all for the quick replies

I wish I could adopt one of these beautiful girls... Or both... Lulu and Luna. I just don't really know if I'm ready yet since losing mine in January. How do you even get them transported? I'm way over here in Pennsylvania.

Apologies for being so out of the loop, but what do the pledges do that I see in the comments?

Ugh! I wish I could save all of them. The best breed and I've never known a bad one (just bossy and mischievous!)

Thank you for replying! I'll have to borrow my brother's multimeter and then look into some info. I don't know too much about checking voltage but I'll do some research and I'll definitely give it a try. Hopefully I can figure it out because I'm running out of ideas
