Alabama thread!

Morning

 

Oh, yikes. Makes me want to go there less

 

I'm on Spectrum, said to be 300MBS down, however about 10AM on a Saturday when they installed it I checked it and it was 30MBs up and 160MBs down. $45 a month.

I think my biggest bottleneck is they gave me a router and their router probably can't handle as much as a quality router.

 

You're not paying per month for it, are you? You can surely get one that's much better, and the saved rent will pay it off in no time.

Also 1MB = 8Mb. You're probably not getting 300MB/s

 

well you got me on the MB = Mb, didn't think anything about it.. no I'm not paying rent on their router. at least when I ordered I wasn't. I won't know till that first bill i suppose then call them and bitch about it lol

 

Yup, shooting for the 11th right now. Unless something makes it slip. Going to put the order in with the lumber yard in a few minutes and hopefully getting a trencher for this weekend.

 

Yeah keep an eye out for it. If it's not itemized on the bill maybe even call to see if there's a discount if you return it. "Nothing is ever free", as they say- it's in there somewhere. Same thing with the modem.

First year I moved in with the wife I didn't realize she was paying for the modem until we moved out and they asked for it back. Was a useless waste of ~$100 iirc.

 

just instant messaged them. there's no way to get bill lower than $45.

 

Charter or what?

 

I get over 200 with my charter. Upload around 16

 

Meh.
Wired of course. Planning on ubiquiti wired and wireless in near future. My house is too large for the small box store wireless router to cover whole house and downstairs.

 

Feels like it's been years since the last trip!

As long as nothing pops up on me, count me in!

 

Gotta go get a stand now. Old one too small.

 

Mount that shit on the wall!

 

spectrum, which is the same thing I believe. may just be how congested your area is or time of day tested.

 

Wow! Happy b-day!

I think I've got an extra one of these, if you want it. I'll give ya a birthday discount

I'm on Shit Cable of East Alabama. There is no alternative so we're stuck with shit. Wish one of the big companies would just force their way in. Pretty much got a monopoly here. There is much better everywhere else.

 

Strongly thinking this.

 

Been looking for one of these. Do you like yours? Feel like it would hold a 60" securely?

 

Yeah. Fwiw we have 1 cable box and use spectrum app on rest. Works pretty good..
