Chat vs Calling for loyalty department?

Last summer I had the $55 1gig ($25 ongoing discount) installed and of course I just missed the activation cut off date on the price increase so now I’m at $60.

I know a lot of people have been contacting loyalty and have been getting reductions and I’m wondering what is better chat or calling in for loyalty?

Can they lower the bill without me losing the $25 ongoing discount? If not, I value the stability of the ongoing discount but if they can keep it and provide a further discount, even if it’s temporary, I would like that.

Only other competition is Xfinity coax (I think mid split though) $50 for 5 years 1 gig.

Shepherd Air ADX Memory Aid help

Been studying for my ADX I have this Thursday and so far pretty good with Shepherd air but I just can’t memorize a lot of the stuff on the memory aid for aerodynamics and for navigation and for weight and balance.

The rest of the questions I think I’m doing pretty good on. Any tips for those?

Top of clay bell broken

Having a fence done and the fence people exposed this part of my sewer where the plastic pipe enters to the clay line. I’m not sure if it was already like this or not.

I assume they chipped the top of a clay bellend and now there is a gap.

They put some plastic over this so nothing would get in to the sewer and packed some concrete around it to keep dirt from getting in. They are putting the post somewhere else.

The clean out is directly to the right so we opened it up and ran a bunch of water and it flowed fine.

Is this ok?

Max G2 Completely dead after using the accelerator but control panel lights up if manually pushing.

I’ve got a Max G2 and unfortunately I think there was some unexpected rain one night. I let the scooter sit for days and it drove normally but the motor in the rear sounded a bit louder than normal.

Today it died after hitting the accelerator. But I was able to get it on a few more time and also noticed the rear wheel would spin backwards for a second, but then go to the correct direction (had it lifted on a platform to see) but after hitting the accelerator again it completely died.

If I try and ride it like a manual razor scooter and get fast enough the control panel does come to life for a second or two but won’t stay on.

I did try disconnecting the handlebar wire and leaving it off for a few minutes, but that didn’t do anything.

Any suggestions? It’s only got 200 miles and I know right before it died. It was about 90% charged.

All 2.4ghz devices have disconnected from the gateway.

I’ve had my gateway in passthrough mode for awhile now but keep the wifi on for a separate network for my IoT devices. Several days ago I’ve noticed a bunch of devices offline and it turns out it’s everything connected to the gateway and things won’t reconnect.

I assume it’s 2.4 only because it’s only IoT devices and my phone can connect to the network just fine so I assume that’s on 5ghz.

Puppy Pro Plan recommendations

Hey all

I’m looking to upgrade the food for my 7 month old Shiba. The breeder had him on purina one true instinct puppy high protein, chicken and duck.

She did say I could upgrade to the Purina pro plan if I want to get something fancier. I’m trying to decide between the regular puppy pro plan chicken and rice formula or if I should get the puppy sensitive skin and stomach, salmon and rice formula.

He doesn’t have a sensitive stomach now, or any allergies that I know of but I was reading that a lot of people like to use that one with Shiba‘s as they can develop allergies and the salmon is good for their coat.

I saw a 30/20 sport as well but I read 20% is too much fat.

Does anyone have any recommendations?

Price increase email

Got an email this afternoon “Important Home Internet Account Update” with a link to a page saying they are increasing all fiber plans that activated between June 9th 2024 and July 19th 2025 are going up $5 a month (and of course I activated on the 15th of July 25.

Here is the link https://www.att.com/support/article/u-verse-high-speed-internet/KM1260426/

I’m currently on the 1 gig for $55 that was offered last summer ($25 off ongoing).

My bill June to July (services between July and August) doesn’t show an increase in the news you can use section but probably the next one?

Has anyone gotten the GoFence composite fence from Costco.com?

Looking to get a fence done and checked if Costco has any install programs like they do with other household projects and I stumbled upon these composite fence diy panels and am wondering if anybody has gotten these?

There aren’t any reviews yet and I have not seen posts on r/Costco about them.

Unlimited v4 to Experience Signature Bill Update. Price went down

Ok as promised here is the update after the bill came out. It ended up being a decrease since even though they raised the base plan the add on for premium is now free.

Watch also was bumped from 500MB to 2GB (T-Life shows unlimited in the data section).

I wonder if they would apply the Experience Beyond data promo to the basic line or am I risking a rep screwing everything up? If I would’ve known I would’ve upgraded that line to premium last month.

This plan also seems to be eligible to add T-Priority. Would they want to verify if I add that in T-Life? I am in public safety but in a private company so not sure if that qualifies.

Edit: Hulu and Netflix are still free. Still can add Apple TV for the $2.99

Does anyone need a way to check plan SOCs anymore?

I know it’s not available with those extensions anymore and it’s not in the URL anymore either. It does seem like T-Mobile makes it harder to find.

I’m not sure if anybody has a workaround now, but I did discover one. Is that something I should post or would that be against any tos or something?

Replace XB7 for promised XB8

Placed an order with support yesterday and it was supposed to be an XB8 (they did inform me it’s possible I get a 7 so not blaming anyone) but a 7 was sent. They said I could request this to be swapped if a 7 came and this one looks pretty beat up as well.

“Experience Beyond Data Promo 2” add on replacement for Sprint Premium

Just checked my add ons section and here is what is replacing Sprint Premium on Unlimited v4. The line that was on Basic is getting one of the 60GB options.

Was paying $20 for the Premium add ons and this one is free. Are they going to increase the plan by $20 or will this be a price decrease?

Is there no retention department/deals anymore?

Was considering moving services to a competitor but wanted to see what Comcast could maybe do in terms of price. The first retention agent said there would be deals but I would need to wait for the port out on the landline to complete.

After that the second agent said they no longer do any retention deals and no deals for customers. The only reason we didn’t cancel is she said there might be deals in a month.

Can a rep here check if there are any deals before we cancel?

Costco Business Center Buckets at Regular Warhorse

This was at a Midwest region regular warehouse (non business center). Thought it was an interesting find to see. They just had the 2 sets and it was kind of haphazardly placed in the aisle. Wonder if that was a mistake on the truck and got sent here.

Edit: Can’t edit the title, but I hate AutoCorrect haha. Warehouse!

Generic Winix filter recommendations or stick with genuine?

It’s time to replace the hepa filter in my Winix unit (Filter size S) I got at Costco a while back.

I see the genuine filters range from around $50 and that seems a little pricy for a small unit. I see a bunch of random generic ones on Amazon around $30 for 4 filters but it’s literally all no name brands and nonsensical brands.

Does anybody have good quality generic for Winix size S that they trust or should I just stick with the genuine?

This is in the US

Does the quality and speed of a wifi router matter if I have it then hardwired into a switch and then have access points broadcasting wifi inside the house?

​

At the end of our driveway we have some utility boxes. Inside the boxes we have a spectrum modem and spectrum router. After the router it goes into some box that coverts everything into fiber optic that runs the 1/8 mile to our actual house. Inside the house I run ap's.

I keep having issues with spectrums router failing and was wondering if I have one of mine own on standby does the speed or quality of the router actually matter in my particular setup as listed in the title?

Note on image - in that image is spectrums router and whatever dark magic happens inside the box that converts the router into fiber optic, the and on the other side of that post is the 2nd utility box that houses spectrums modem.

Thx

Is choice $118 or $159?

Signed up for choice and I thought after all the promos the rack rate is $118.98 like it’s advertised on the website but in the account summary there is an intro discount for 2 years of $66.01 off making the rate $159 a month.

Did I sign up for the wrong service? I did no devices so there isn’t a contact. Did use someone’s referral link.
