Austin Area TW Chapter (all gens welcome, even T4Rs; heck, just make it a Toyota and we're good)

We have Spectrum, so luckier than having to have ATT or Direct TV ATT - that's all there is here. I had a NetGear modem working great for home, but last time they came out to add stuff and tune up, they brought in their router, and replaced mine. NO CHARGE BUT - I do believe to maximize speed, it picks on various devices and throttles them, and (the I don't mind so much) may disconnect if not used in a while. This would make sense to keep overall levels reasonable, but it was not as good as the NetGear, and they "discourage" my using it.....

 

Impromptu mini meet with @ATXtacoJay & @DroNavLX

I purchased my own router and modem. They've been going strong for 4 years now. Internet companies can EABOD

 

So can wasps I got stung in the ear today

 

I didn't say it was efficient or good lol.

This is my internet speed from my phone, via WiFi, in an L-shaped house through two doors, supporting an Xbox currently being played, tv playing Netflix and two cell phones surfing the internet, thanks to spectrum.

 

Kill'em with fire

 

Screw wasps

 

I used the spray in the black can they are dead.

Yes and hornets. My ear looks like one of yoda’s ears.

 

Sucks, man. Hope you feel better. I once got a bee sting inside my mouth lol. It made it's way onto my PB&J and wound up in my mouth and stung the crap out of that inside of my cheek. I had a crater there for 2 years.

 

My neighbor across the street just got Google Fiber. We called them and they told us that we weren’t able to get it because it wasn’t available yet.

What in the retarded mongrel shit-eating fuck is wrong with these people? We’ve been on their list for 6 years waiting to get installed.

Now I have to chew some ass and get back in line, damn it.

 

I have a couple little NetGear extenders via Amazon. Only using one I found out in the sunroom work. They at least help spread the signal around, and make things work better. I can find the link if you want - pretty inexpensive.

 

Thanks, Kurt

 

Found them faster than I thought.

Not surprised...

There are apartment complexes that had google.fiber installed a year or more.before they even built the backbone to there property.

And fire ants. I was pulling out some weeds in a bed today, before watering some new plants, and all of a sudden felt a whole lot of chewing on both feet! Why do those little bastards wait until there are a bunch of them on you before they attack? And when did they stop building hills, so you can see where they are ahead of time? Thank goodness I had water at the ready to blast them, but I still got chewed the f up!

 

I hope you're not paying much for that...



Of course, not the 1Gb they advertise, but we all know AT&T are lying whores.

 

That’s awful
