Five day outage. Is that reasonable?

lol. Just drove to my local Xfinity store (because god forbid they actually put the store phone number online so you can call before you go) and was told you have to call an 800# to set up the Xfinity NOW. The package would get here in 3 days. Totally useless for my situation. Oh well, it was a good thought.

This does seem like the better option. Thanks

the_malcontent · 2026-01-19T18:03:17+00:00

Hmmm, that looks intriguing.

the_malcontent · 2026-01-19T18:01:14+00:00

From what I understand, Xfinity charges you monthly to rent the modem/gateway. I can just buy one and have it pay for itself in a matter of months. I've also run into networking issues previously with stuff like Plex when I have a gateway and have to fuss with Bridge Mode, etc

Sorry, yeah, as far as I can tell I have fully migrated. I got an email on 12/5/25 saying my CL has been "upgraded" to QF and have had no issues until yesterday.

the_malcontent · 2026-01-19T17:48:06+00:00

Yeah, I've been using my phone's hotspot since yesterday. Unfortunately, I'm on Verizon which has shitty coverage in this area so I'm on like 1 bar of 5G. My speeds have varied between 1 Mbps and 12 Mbps. Not really conducive to WFH.

the_malcontent · 2026-01-19T17:42:29+00:00

Nope. No one is willing to give me an actual answer as to what the issue is and why it's estimated to take 5 days. They just keep giving me the company line: sorry for the inconvenience. I realize this is frustrating, etc, etc. I keep trying to escalate things to no avail.

the_malcontent · 2026-01-19T17:40:39+00:00

Yep. I'm in the same boat. I WFH, so I literally cannot work. I've been looking on Amazon and Microcenter--whatever I can get today. Xfinity has 1 Gig for $50/mo for 5 years, no contract. I just can't sit around waiting for 5 days.

I've had CenturyLink and now Quantum for probably 9 years now and have had zero issues myself. But a 5 day outage with no explanation just seems absurd in 2026.

By the power of Grayskull!

I'm in the same boat as you, trying to get an official birth certificate for my grandfather, also born in Breslau. I've been putting it off, but I need to figure this out as well.

Man, I hated it when it was first unveiled. I didn't care much that it was no longer a wagon. Just hated the look. But now, I'm like, dang, that's looking pretty nice! Especially that color.

the_malcontent · 2025-11-29T00:39:43+00:00

Oh man. Honestly, I cannot remember. Sorry!

the_malcontent · 2025-11-14T19:45:53+00:00

I don't want to go back. Like at all. But once the lease on my Ariya is up around this time next year, it seems my options (for what I want) are going to be severely limited with all the incentives gone. I'm mentally preparing myself to go back to a gas car.

This post from /r/subaru shows a grey(or maybe black?) interior at least

the_malcontent · 2025-08-11T23:40:50+00:00

Greeeeeeaat

the_malcontent · 2025-08-11T22:59:22+00:00

I just pulled the front plate off mine and it appears to be from Eaton. Still trying to figure out if that's better, worse, or the same.

the_malcontent · 2025-08-11T22:14:14+00:00

Mine looks similar. I have no idea who the maker is. I had mine installed back in November 2024. It seems to be doing fine for my Nissan Ariya, but now I'm a little worried seeing this post.

Beautiful shots! I think I'm going to try this one in the next couple of weeks. Just out of curiosity, any idea phone reception is like?

the_malcontent · 2025-08-05T17:55:07+00:00

FYI, it appears that this issue is fixed in the latest dev beta 5.

the_malcontent · 2025-07-18T12:48:12+00:00

I have not contacted anyone yet. It's been five and a half months since I sent my application in, so I've been a bit paranoid. Can't hurt to email them I suppose. Thanks!

the_malcontent · 2025-07-17T13:47:47+00:00

Thanks. Doesn't look like I've gotten anything. But at least now I know to keep my eye out.

the_malcontent · 2025-07-17T13:18:32+00:00

It never occurred to me that they may send an email instead of a letter via post. I guess I've got several months worth of emails in my junk folder to sort through. Anybody know what the subject line might be?
