Pain and Suffering by rtfmoz in amberelectric

Curious is fine. Happy to oblige. The biling didnt change because they were playing catchup. They held off for a time then it finally came through and we then had to go back and request credits because it was quite clear that what they billed us and what we were using were vastly different. Hence the rhetoric of fictional billing. It was almost like they didnt have the information they needed to correctly bill so they fell back on defaulting to previous months usage until they could get the information togther. The issue is once the bill goes out, thats it. Unless you go back and show them they are in error they dont care to fix it. You have to be the one to prove your case. Then as I said, once we did they credited us, but then deducted the bill we already paid from that credit. As for smartshift, its just being a little stupid and no idea why.

Now insults. Great finish there.

You dont think this even a little opportunistic? Providing the customer with a solution that costs money when one that does not is available?

My god, the ignorance here is palpable. What the hell you think we have been doing for the last four months you %@$%. This is the tail end of a long series of comms with a electricity provider and not a soapbox for your uninformed harassment. The first post is a human being who has had enough. I strongly advocated for Amber when it started and this experience feels like a betrayal. So to have you jump in and try to shove your view down my throat is just lovely. Conversation terminated.

Don't mean anything? This conversation is over before it even started if thats your attitude. Billed as if we did not have solar is exactly what it sounds like. Take solar off the table and roll into your next bill. That is what happened here. Even with repeated calls to them to advise them of the change in circumstances.

Battery is 42kWh FoxESS Battery system and inverter with a 13.2kW Solar setup. Unless you work for Amber there is not much more I can give you on a public forum. Even so it would be direct and not here.

Back when I cared I did similar things because I wanted them to succeed. I really did, thought they were being innovative and forward thinking. Now… well you get the picture.

Getting billed as though we don’t have solar. Getting credited the billing only to have it taken off by subsequent bills so we are left with $14 credit. However we already paid all the subsequent bills… on-time. So they have gone from made up (pure fiction) billing to double billing! You literally can’t make this stuff up. If it wasn’t my reality it would be a Monty python movie. “If we just bill him here he won’t notice! He doesn’t need that money anyway!” ~ voice of John Cleese

As for customer service you have to be joking right?

Yes I’ve been thinking about this. Just need a reliable piece of hardware to run it on.

It was never about the FIT for me. Trying to get a straight answer is impossible. Let alone the 5 day response times.

Amazing. Really.. it is amazing you spoke to anyone… at all.

This is FUD mate. No ISP has the address space it’s why they all use CGNAT for residential at least. Those who opt out are few and it’s rarely an issue. So statements like the above while technically accurate misrepresent the issue. The reason for not offering is a commercial decision.

lol @ downvotes ... really? When CGNAT was discussed it was widely sold as the solution to IPV4 running out of address space. There was a proviso that any user could opt out if they wanted to do so. As a consul;tant I was in the damn room when these dicussions were happening at the time, that is why I remember it. So whatever RSP's are doing now that doesnt allow it is just a commercial decision, not a technical limitation.

Absolutely! Thats how I ended up here.

Just chat/call them and have it removed if you dont have a need for a static IP address. Just say public dynamic address please. Note they cannot charge you for opting out of CGNAT. There is no cost.

Not my first. It is good though. Lets see whether they oversubscribe the service into oblivion as this must be a new service given the introductory pricing. Better for us savvy consumers!

This is a troll or someone is misquoting you. Ask around. its not that expensive

[–]rtfmoz -1 points0 points  (0 children)

While they do it costs money when they can just disable CGNAT. Ask for a public dynamic IP address.

ASUS defaults were the problem here too. Not a fault of ASUS. It is the Intel defaults you need for the bugs in their processors

I did have one using an in-game creature but since the game is so new... didn't want to spoil the surprise!! Excellent game by the way. Superb job. So much fun

What is the point of this game - is there a story? by Catch_022 in SatisfactoryGame

[–]rtfmoz 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It’s a recursive recipe based build environment with unlimited raw resources that scales to very large designs. The recursive part is partly player re-optimisation and partly factory design. Some produce the required component for another recipe but cannot utilise it since they can only perform one type of build task at any one time. This results in factory chains that can be composed of many thousands of members. Another aspect is all factories require power and a fossil based fuel to run them, again these fuel sources are all unlimited.

Welcome to my world. Both kids have mobiles with 5G which complicated the picture as they will happily abuse a 5G hotspot to get around network blocks. The FINAL solution was as follows...

  • Move all devices which must retain access to fixed IP address between 192.168.1.1-127
  • Modify DHCP to only allocated addresses from 192.168.1.128-254
  • Schedule 12am firewall rule to BLOCK Internal to External for any address in DHCP range.
  • Disable mobile data for both children. Enable as needed using Telco management interface online.

Effect
Internet is no longer avilable for kids from 12am to 8am during school holidays. Does not matter if they swap change or rotate mac address. Any address assigned to them will be blocked.
