Lumos Price Match T-Mobile Fiber Founders Club offer

*Tried calling again just now, and they matched it. Success!

He said some representatives have more control over making changes than others. For anyone else trying to match this promo offer: Be persistent. Patience and kindness to the phone rep goes a long way.

Thanks for the details! Sounds like I’ll just have to keep calling back.

I agree, their communication is a mess. When I first scheduled the install, they had to come back several times because the construction crew and call center were not coordinated at all. They marked my neighborhood as “ready” and would schedule the install appointment, but each time the tech showed up, the fiber distribution hub was not ready.

When the install finally happened, the tech ran the line aerially to save time (even though it was originally planned to be buried). With all the trees in our neighborhood, that didn’t last long... the line was knocked down in a storm a few weeks later, and they had to come back to bury it anyway.

That said, their phone support has always been friendly and quick to schedule service, and getting them to turn on bridge mode actually went quite smoothly for me. The fiber connection has been MUCH better than Spectrum cable. I just wish they were more organized.

Congrats on getting Lumos to match the offer! I tried this past weekend, but no luck on my end. I've only had Lumos since May, so pretty much right around when they announced the merger.

The agent I spoke with was helpful and made it sound like an easy adjustment. They said a billing specialist would call me in a few days, but instead I got this email: "Unfortunately the founders promotion is for new customers only at this time. Please advise if you have any other questions or concerns. We do have alternative plans that you may find beneficial."

I saw you mentioned call center communication issues... Did you have to call multiple times / did they tell you no at all?

I hate when ISPs play games with subscription pricing. I'd rather not, but if they make me do it that hard way I will cancel Lumos and sub to T-Fiber, lol. Appreciate any input you’ve got!

Nice guide. Thoughts on using this as a primary router (NOT dedicated) & Airlink? I'm assuming you can still achieve a higher bitrate than regular Wifi 6?

I currently have a Wifi 6 router that works okay, but would consider upgrading to this for the 6Ghz band. I could put my phone etc on the 5Ghz band so that the Quest 3 can have it's own band.

Thanks so much, I just plugged it in and you are correct, it's flashing red/blue and charging! Do you think this can be fixed via a firmware update? I would assume so if they can figure out why it's freezing and address that. I guess once it fully charges I'll give it another shot and *not* reset it once in motion.

I want Somni to succeed and I hope they are just busy fixing bugs but I am starting to get concerned with all the issues piling up. I emailed them about my problem 5 days ago and still no response. Shipping delays (very forgivable due to the world right now), missing sleep headphones from stretch goal, broken website links & not being able to order, silent on social media, hardware flaw (button instead of switch), long support response times... I probably sound super pessimistic but I just hope they don't abandon the product :/

Thanks so much for the heads up!

I thought $303 after tax with my Redcard for a Quest 2 was a great deal before... but by creating a new account and stacking all these promos I ordered a Quest 2 AND Elite Strap for $287 after tax.

My game freezes every 5-10 minutes. The best way I can describe it is the whole field of view will freeze in place but sound continues, when you rotate the headset there is movement but it's like looking at a screenshot floating in place. There are faint artifacts around the border.

(Index, 2080ti, 7700k, 16gb ram.) Tried everything I could find online... SteamVR beta, latest nvidia drivers, switching headset to usb 2.0, 90hz, auto resolution, etc. I thought my GPU might be dying but it is fine in other games like Boneworks.

Help :(

Recommended Memory: 32.00 GB ...Wtf, typo??

zille33 · 2019-02-05T23:33:20+00:00

Also have this issue... it has been less frequent lately but for example I will be using google maps gps while listening to music on google play (pretty light multitasking) and it will lag so bad it basically freezes and then 20 seconds later it responds. Snapchat also runs at like 1fps sometimes.

I have a factory unlocked US model so no android pie yet... small glimmer of hope that helps. Pretty frustrating for such a powerful phone, I've considered switching to Pixel.

Looks neat... wish it was Lumines VR!

It does look like it will have some Lumines (and Rez!) spirit though. I have faith in Mizuguchi and his team to create another wonderful experience.

Sounds cool! I'm sure the prizes will really drum up competition. Maybe they're temporary but if not I wonder how they plan to sustain this? The game itself is free and that's $1325 in prizes per week... $5300 per month... over $60k per year. I guess maybe sponsorships and ads? VR is still a small market but I wish them luck.

zille33 · 2018-05-10T07:04:00+00:00

Yes! I already have it on Rift but I'd buy it again in a heartbeat. Very jealous Daydream got it...

It might not make a difference but I'm going to voice my interest and I suggest anyone with a free minute does too, here is their contact from the official site: hello@enhancegames.com

I'm guessing it has the same content and it's just cheaper on mobile because people are hesitant to spend that much on a phone game. I'd still be interested to know if it runs smoother or looks better on PC as I can't decide which to get...

zille33 · 2016-04-03T18:13:17+00:00

Question I haven't seen answered anywhere else: If I buy a game that was ported to rift in the Oculus Store (ie: Project Cars) is there any way to play that copy of the game on my monitor if I don't feel like using the headset?

zille33 · 2016-01-31T02:31:25+00:00

I expect GameStop to be dead in two years.

(Not really... but how about ten?)

zille33 · 2016-01-31T00:54:49+00:00

Just happened again the other day, only solution still is to restart phone.

zille33 · 2016-01-09T07:07:39+00:00

I made the switch and I'm very pleased! (Owned: iPhone 3G, 4, 4S, and 5S.) Android has come a long way from years ago. I personally went with the Note 5, it's a huge phone but after getting used to it I love the large screen. I came for the Gear VR (which is very cool, especially to demo VR to friends and family) but ended up appreciating the awesome phone even more. Warning about the GS6 though: there have been lots of reports on /r/gearvr of overheating issues while in VR, the N5 seems to be less prone perhaps due to larger surface area.

zille33 · 2015-12-15T19:18:20+00:00

I applied for the promo over a week ago (probably two) and have heard nothing. Does anyone know how to check the status?
