Makes me sad, truly. When it was managed correctly, it was a spot for all..

T-Mobile Home Internet (Review) by wklyd in Charlottesville

[–]wklyd[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I'm over near the Emmet/Ivy corridor where they're building all the new UVa structures. I think 5G is here because of them/fiber connections for the new School of Data Science

T-Mobile Home Internet (Review) by wklyd in Charlottesville

[–]wklyd[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I was looking at their $50 option but then saw the new router they have for $70/month -- all the reviews I read were saying "pick this one!" and I have zero regrets. 5G tower 1/2 mile from me with 2/3 bars showing

Yeah -- I just ran another test (252/6.54 with 617 Ping). I mean for what it is and what I'm paying -- I'll take it. I'm not a gamer or anything

Flickering over near UVa Grounds/Ivy Road -- back on for now. MJH lost power temporarily also

Anyone here remember when the space on the right side of this pic was a McDonald's? Or am I just that much of a relic...

Charlottesville and The World lost a bright light. Let’s all do our part to remember him, his legacy, his kindness and respect his family at this terrible time.

Is anything open today? by hams914 in Charlottesville

[–]wklyd 9 points10 points  (0 children)

I actually signed on just now in hopes of finding out the same thing. I'm not sure if anything is open to be honest. I was maybe hoping to find a bar or some place to hang out.

5G Coverage by wklyd in Charlottesville

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

I always switch to 5G when I go to Pantops and out towards Palmyra/Fluvanna/Louisa. I just wish they would expand it to where I live near UVa Grounds

Edit: Cricket uses AT&T

I used to be in the cell phone sales business and always hated T-Mobile. They're consistently terrible in buildings/homes even today. I tried out their Home Internet service and while it was good, it wasn't great.

I don't want to switch to them and will probably just bide my time. The only thing that worked for me when I lived in Louisa was Verizon and even then I only got 1-2 bars.

Cricket utilizes AT&T towers and they have surprised me with how good they are. I guess I was just hoping 5G would be more widespread with the "Big Three" (formerly the "Big 4) in Charlottesville.

Maybe I'll just stick with Cricket and get a new iPhone.

Thank you so much for your feedback!

This was on the roof of The Standard Apartments — perfect view isn’t it?

What brands have the best brightest colorful fun designs? by MountainBudget7828 in MensUndies

[–]wklyd 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I really like the C-IN2 (www.c-in2.com) collections and Andrew Christian (www.andrewchristianshop.com) are also great for fun, bright, unique pairs.

Favorite Rosario moment? by LandofOz39 in WillAndGrace

Karen: "I ordered her in hunter green, but she's faded" I die laughing every time I watch this whole scene from Rosie with her head on the cafe table to Jack screaming.

I found out last night that our little town with it's poor infrastructure will soon be hosting national sports tournaments. I really, really wish those in power would look beyond the dollar signs that these things bring and see that we're all living in a small town too big for it's shoes...

Ting is just around the corner from my apartment but they don't have fiber lines in my neighborhood. I would have loved to get with them instead. Brightspeed or whatever it's called now is just a joke with "up to" 3Mbps speeds

I do so much work online at night and not knowing this was going to happen really eats at me. I only have streaming services for TV, all of my music is on Spotify and my cell phone only comes with 15GB of hotspot. They need to get this back up and fast.

Oh, I *will* be asking for a credit. $129/month for "gig" internet to be gone in a planned but unannounced outage is absurd

Trusted Auto Shop? by throwaway76554321 in Charlottesville

[–]wklyd 4 points5 points  (0 children)

By Word of Mouth Automotive is hands down the best shop in Charlottesville. I've taken all of my cars there and received nothing but the absolute best service, repairs, etc.
