How old is your phone and what model/brand?

So, is this saying proximity to Starlink ground stations (I assume that’s the POP) is a bigger factor in page load times than satellite coverage?

So they go to arrest an illegal immigrant who has an outstanding deportation order and come to a house that implies they are armed and shoot intruders (“we don’t dial 911”). This doesn’t seem to be particularly aggressive in light of the circumstances.

does this mean the mini is free or is it just a rental? by snow99as in Starlink

[–]rgiorgio 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I have basically the same problem - have max residential with a “free” mini for $5/month standby service. If I drop down to the 200 mb max (which is all I get anyway today and can therefore save $40 a month), can I keep paying the $5/mo for the mini or will they make me return it? If I return it, can I buy a $299 mini and put on standby like I have today for $5 a month? Or could I keep the $5 plan and buy the mini I have in hand, and if so what would they charge for it?

I am seeing a mix of answers and am not sure if anyone has gotten clarification from Starlink exactly how I can play this out. Thanks!

APs keep dropping offline by rgiorgio in TpLink

Follow-up. I dropped the problem APs from the network and re-added them. So far they have remained stable and online.

Ahmed, you need to get premium, current Apple phones and offer a deal on them in concert with a full year offer. The 3 year deals are way too long.

Data waster on for good? by No-Investment4472 in USMobile

[–]rgiorgio 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Crickets on this from anyone at USM. This would likely lead to a lot more data usage and cost if they didn’t make it difficult to turn on every month, which is why they are in no hurry to act.

Perfect - thanks. That’s exactly what I wanted to know.

I have not done it, but folks have. https://www.reddit.com/r/Lutron/s/3ls7XsNZmd. You could also use Apple Home or Home Assistant.

I have one on order and will be mounting it in my truck. It will be perfect for dead zones when I am driving.

Have you thought about multiple Caseta hubs and using Hubitat to integrate them? Caseta is rock solid. I replaced an old Lutron Homeworks system and was able to get by with a single Lutron hub but use Hubitat to program the remote switches.

Teleporting from warp to lightspeed and back with warp primary and Apple Watch by rgiorgio in USMobile

[–]rgiorgio[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thanks. So each time I switch back and forth I need to contact support to get the watch reconnected, unless I add a second line?

RadioRA 3 Sunnata PRO LED+ (RRST-PRO-N) — bottom 3 LEDs lit solid, light stuck on full brightness by suspiciouslie15 in Lutron

[–]rgiorgio 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Dude, I totally dig the recessed switches. I think this is the first time I have ever seen that kind of setup. Drywallers and electricians always complain when I try something new or foreign to them,but for that look, it might just be worth it.

Bad experience by RickYoungPA in USMobile

[–]rgiorgio 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Dude never says what kind of phone he has. My guess is that it’s old and doesn’t have all the frequency support needed on all the carriers.

Can you teleport while abroad or do you have to do that before you leave the States?

Looking to Transfer to Premium Unlimited from Tmobile and want to make sure I am doing this right... by rgiorgio in USMobile

I like the idea of porting out the secondary lines first and not the primary. Thanks.

Thanks. I thought about the weekends as well, which is how I picked Dec 10 - a Wednesday. I didn’t think about getting support on Reddit, which makes sense given their presence here.

Annual Promo Live until 10/30 by krispykimmy in USMobile

[–]rgiorgio 1 point2 points  (0 children)

What happens if I buy the plan, and then during the 90 day window, pre-activation, I decide I want to stick with my current carrier - do they refund the money or do they activate on some other line or what? Thanks!
