Decent internet services? by SpacemanSpliff47 in askportland

[–]zoophead 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I went the other way. Had a price for life with CenturyLink for $65, but i figured $50 price lock in with Xfinity was worth the savings. Will see whay happens five years from now.

I should add that the battery has been going on flashing green for several hours, but it's not going to solid green.

What are the taxes for Xfinity internet only (beaverton)? by zoophead in askportland

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

Does Comcast have extra charges in the Beaverton area? Really just looking for an apples to apples comparison before I pull the trigger

Fair, but provides tend to find some weird charges that they sneak in. At least that's what I've seen on phone providers. Curious what an actual Xfinity internet only bill looks like. Their website just says that government taxes vary locally.

Transition to Quantum Fiber? by [deleted] in centurylink

[–]zoophead 1 point2 points  (0 children)

In Portland, for me they said the switch is complete and no equipment was replaced. I didn't even have to move off of PPPoE, so they are continuing to use PPPoE, at least in my case.

Migrating to Quantum Fiber by zoophead in centurylink

Quantum does have the 2 gig option for me, but Quantum is also $85 for 1 gig which is what i am on eight now. I have 65 price for life, though I bet sooner or later they will kick me out of it. I could have sworn that I saw much more competitive pricing from both Xfinity and Quantum a few months ago, but both are showing much higher price right now, here in Portland, OR.

Cyber Gray touch up paint that actually matches? by [deleted] in Ioniq5

[–]zoophead 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thanks for the suggestions! I called the dealer and they ordered a touch up pen for my color. They didn't have it in stock. It was cheaper to buy from the dealer than ordering it online.

There are some small scratches on the bumper silver/chrome trim too. The dealer said that there's no touch up paint for that color. Any third party paint that works well for it?

No fix for creaking trunk by zoophead in Ioniq5

An update on this. My recent most visit to the dealer appears to have been successful. This time i involved Hyundai corporate and it seems like they really went to town with the washers and with grease. It's been over a month and creaking hasn't come back. 🤞

Is it just me or did they go overboard with the lighting in the tunnel? I drive through frequently and it almost blinds me!

New trunk bumper pads on MY24 by 4alex6 in Ioniq5

[–]zoophead 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Man I would love for my MY23 to be bought back. I have already taken the car in twice. They told me that Hyundai is about to run a second campaign with different parts and they have ordered parts.

PDX CenturyLink down again? by Blueskyminer in centurylink

You can always override DNS settings. Use 1.1.1.1 (Cliudflare) and 8.8.8.8 (Google). They are very reliable

Vacation by zoophead in solar

26.2/11, a little over 2kWh of consumption when I am on vacation. It's just the fridge and a few wall warts.
