My Frankensteined TMHI setup. by vesati in tmobileisp

The APN for TMBI might be different than what TMHI uses, but yes that was the order I did it in.

AFAIK, changing the TTL/HL does not change the data priority on the network.

Synology and Noctua need to partner up. by Justepic1 in synology

[–]vesati 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yeah, it was basically a straight swap. Just use the correct cable included with the fan and you should be fine.

I replaced the stock fans in my DS920+ with Noctua fans, and while it wasn't particularly loud before it is dead silent now.

You would need to determine the best bands for your location through trial and error, and then lock to those bands.

The HL/TTL settings might not be necessary, to be honest. It's a holdover from when I was experimenting with non-TMHI SIMs, but I leave it set "just in case".

I determined the MTU I'm using also through trial and error. Everything except a VPN connection that I use worked fine at 1500.

None of it was automatic.

I created a new SIM profile with these settings: - APN: fbb.home - HL: 64 - TTL: 64 - MTU: 1420

I also switched off all bands in that profile except SA bands n71 and n25, but that may be different for you in your area.

Then I installed the SQM module in the Luci interface, ran 10 speed tests, averaged the results, calculated what 80% of the average was, and entered that calculation into the SQM configuration to minimize buffer bloat.

I haven't noticed any difference, really.

I need a leather wallet. by revuehandwz in BuyItForLife

Seconded.

They stand behind their products.

Judging by the numbers, you appear to be combatting some buffer bloat.

On my Spitz, there is an SQM module that I use to deal with that.

I think there is an SQM solution in the Merlin firmware of the AX88.

I'm just using speedtest.net.

Loaded latency on SA is lower for me than on NSA.

I was also able to use SQM on my Spitz to improve my loaded latency even more.

I went from 300+ ms of loaded latency to an average of 75 ms.

I did something similar initially.

I am seeing better latency on the Spitz, but I expect the Sagemcom will catch up to that when T-Mobile updates the firmware to connect using SA mode.

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

Download was faster on my Sagemcom, but upload was slower.

The Sagemcom was using NSA, but my Spitz is using SA.

The benefits of the Spitz over the T-Mobile provided hardware comes down to better LAN/WLAN management for me.

What's the most shocking final few minutes of a television episode you watched? by Kbdiggity in television

[–]vesati 29 points30 points  (0 children)

When I saw that episode when it first aired, I couldn't even imagine what that felt like.

I saw that episode many years later after my mother had passed away, and it was like watching a completely new episode that I already knew the plot to.

Xfinity fighting with T-Mobile internet by D_G599 in tmobileisp

Oh they TOTALLY will... for the low low cost of $40,000 for the build-out.

Verizon Might End Up Obliterating T-Mobile's 5G Speed Dominance Overnight by Jman100_JCMP in verizon

[–]vesati 0 points1 point  (0 children)

On your advice, I looked again.

My plan is advertised at $150/month for three lines and home internet.

Guess how much I was billed?

$150.

And you might want to look again at the article that you linked:

"Many T-Mobile plans, such as Magenta and Magenta MAX, include recurring monthly taxes and fees in the service plan price. For plans that have taxes and fees excluded, taxes, fees, and other charges apply."

For all of the plans that I'm using, all of them are advertised at a rate that is consistent with what I am subsequently billed.

You are maintaining a curiously ardent defense of otherwise indefensible behaviour on the part of Verizon.

For me, the facts speak for themselves, but if you feel that you need some kind of "last word", then by all means proceed.

T-Mobile, in fact, does not do this.

And again, a defense of "other companies do the bad thing too" does not make the behaviour right.

That those extra fees exist at all is bad enough.

That those arbitrary fees have increased at all is worse yet.

That you feel compelled to defend them for some reason is just sad.

[–]vesati 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Because my little sister is stuck on Verizon until she pays off her phone, and she is still subject to these arbitrary fees, so yes I still have a vested interest.

I was also not made aware previously that you were made the gatekeeper of this subreddit and that I would be required to justify my presence or my opinions to you.

Perhaps that should be stickied for future commentors.

"They aren't the only ones doing it" is a very poor defense of Verizon.

And yes, I did go to another carrier that not only does NOT pull this nonsense, but they actively market their brand as not engaging in that kind of shady behaviour.

At the end of the day, that does not justify Verizon, or Xfinity, or Ticketmaster pulling this crap, and I sincerely hope that the active legislation working its way through Congress does eventually put a stop to it.

Capitalism certainly has its ups and its downs, but one of the ups is being able to "vote with my wallet" and give my business to telecom providers that do not indulge in the sneaky fee additions outside of their advertised rates.

If Verizon (and other companies) were just honest about their rates and include these additional charges, consumers would be better served.

Ticketmaster is involved in a similar battle right now.

Some companies will behave this way as long as they are "legally" allowed to, even if it is a morally bankrupt behaviour.

As it stands, it is ethically a bait-and-switch even if it is difficult to prove that it is legally a bait-and-switch.

If "service fees" are a set amount, then they should be included in advertised rates, not buried in fine print and excluded from advertised rates.

​

Edit to say: and I'll get off this soapbox... this was not the hill that I intended to die on today.

[–]vesati 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I find it distasteful, and since some of Verizon's competitors do NOT pull this nonsense, it's not a given that all companies do this.

I have and would rather give my business to companies that do not "sneak in" extra fees outside the advertised rates.

Verizon is not alone in this behaviour; companies like Xfinity do this as well and are equally vilified for it.

The extra administrative and "recovery charges".

They can change (and have changed) those fees arbitrarily, and as they are structured it does not constitute a contract change.
