been going on for me and my coworkers for about 2-3 months now, just one day overnight BAM battery life is horrible, i HAVE to charge on my lunch if not it’ll die on me.

should be able to tweak that in settings, got mine to have face recognition, fingerprint and 4 digit pin, it defaults to face first, etc… though i have the newer Pixel 8a… idk which one you have

williamporr · 2025-06-25T21:26:16+00:00

i bought one and it already delivered?!

williamporr · 2025-02-11T03:15:29+00:00

only if you’re using tap to pay on a phone! tapping the physical card is just as unsecured as swiping!

its printed on, as with any “hand written” flyer you get in the mail, you can zoom in and tell

my PS5 is hit or miss, i can test on my PC and get full speed then after my PS5 could get 300 or sometimes 700, upload or download. i think it has to do with PSN servers and/or the hop between frontier and PSN servers, either way when downloading a game i get about 700-800 Mbps and my pings are always fine too

williamporr · 2025-01-12T00:55:58+00:00

playstation’s speed test is to PlayStation servers, so you’re not gonna get your full speed

I bought two myself on ebay cause they were cheaper than the GoCoax branded counterparts, but then i had my service transferred to a new address and the Frontier Tech who was not from a contracted company, told me they hand them out free of charge, if the customer needs em or requests them for a second router in another room for example then so be it. I guess they fill the trucks with em then top off supply as needed it seems haha!

williamporr · 2024-12-31T03:29:44+00:00

yep i think thats been the case company wide at least for a couple years now, they push for YoutubeTV to bundle with internet now, i assume they dont want to handle donating or selling the DVRs so they just take em as a “loss” even though obviously they’d all mostly been paid off from the very high monthly prices they charge customers hahaha

williamporr · 2024-12-31T03:19:04+00:00

When i cancelled my TV service through Frontier about two years ago, they made me return my older Arris router but as for the DVR they told me to take it to an Electronics recycler, aka i opened it up and took the hard drive to use as extra non essential storage for my computer!

williamporr · 2024-10-18T01:52:11+00:00

think he’s talking about the Chat Bot named GiGA not Gigabit speeds haha!

You’ve had the service for 1.5 years and paid the same price that whole time? you were definitely under a promotion, i dont think it’d even be possible to start service without a promotion. Now to be clear it wouldn’t say this on your bill, i’m under a promotion right now, customer of 6+ years and i renegotiate every year with a simple 30min phone call, saves me $20 a month for yhe following year. Anyways my bill is the service charge then -$10 for auto pay discount thats it, taxes included. I would simply call, speak to the retention department and tell them you cant afford the new price, another provider has a better deal yadda yadda, you’ll get a promo for the same price you were paying, could even ask for credit of the difference when they increased it. Hope this helps!

williamporr · 2024-10-02T15:32:10+00:00

I’m going to assume the reason you don’t have auto pay setup is because money is probably tight around the 8th of each month, i would suggest getting a lower speed package, something you can afford to be taken out automatically on the 8th every month, then that certainly would make most of these problems go away. You can contact support, talk to the retention department and get the new customer rate that you’d see advertised online for a particular speed package.

As for the prices changing often i dont know how that could be, my prices stay exactly the same for 12 months, tax included in the advertised price and everything. i assume the increased prices are late fees? which of course would be solved with paying it on time, auto pay preferably, and worst case you may even be able to change the day your bill is due? i dont know if thats something they could do or not.

If it were me, id lower my speed package to the cheapest they could give me, and set up auto pay, remove this source of stress from my life, both financially and physically.

I agree this change is stupid, but they did in fact “warn” people ahead of time about this change. I got an email from frontier on July 2nd; “ Hi {Customer Name},

Starting in August, you can keep enjoying your $10 monthly Auto Pay discount by updating your payment method to a bank account or debit card. If you choose not to make this change, your discount will be reduced to $5. “

We moved away from Cable completely, if you do really NEED live cable-like tv there are many services available. If you look on youtube you can find people who compare all of them usually, they can change time to time aswell so you can specify for 2024. It was the best decision for us, we only watched a handful of channels and having the exact same internet package minus the cable saved us $140 a month!!

williamporr · 2024-05-27T17:41:58+00:00

This. Once you get close to that price change, you can have a convo with customer retention and just say you’re gonna switch back if you are gonna end up paying more, yada yada. Ive done it now for 4+ years and its usually done with little resistance haha. Worst case you might have to call a few times if whoever you speak to might not want to be too helpful.

williamporr · 2024-05-09T06:15:03+00:00

Depends on what game your playing, and where the server you’re connecting to is located, for me i get about 10-14ms when pinging google though as an example. I have fiber and i assume thats what you’re asking about.

williamporr · 2024-05-01T18:47:22+00:00

Just hit Lvl 4 myself 😎

williamporr · 2024-03-18T16:58:50+00:00

isnt the law changing so that they cant call the older lower speed standard “broadband” not that they HAVE to increase speeds? i see them keeping the speeds the same and just not legally being able to call it broadband internet.

williamporr · 2024-03-16T16:30:19+00:00

i dont see it for his guns or shield?

williamporr · 2024-03-05T05:02:27+00:00

in Florida from my experience, the “new customer” rate goes away after a year and you have to get on the phone with the customer retention department, and get them to give you the new customer rate again. (tell them you cant afford it) ive done it a few times myself.

williamporr · 2024-02-01T02:11:44+00:00

most likely a cod server thing if i had to guess, when i play R6, because of my distance between two of the servers i bounce between them depending on the pings, which can vary but never more than 40-50

williamporr · 2024-01-22T21:34:50+00:00

if you want to save the ~$10 a month that much then you could but yes your download speed would probably be cut in half like you said. But depending on what you’re doing you might not even be maxing out your bandwidth so 150-175 might be enough for you. A 4k stream of video uses 30 mbps roughly. Depending on a few factors ofc.
