  1. My condolences to everyone with #googlefiber. Astound *sucks*. A company that actually competes with Google for the "worst customer support" title. Now they are one.

  11. Well lookie what appeared over my apartment door: a #GoogleFiber drop. After 2 years in the neighborhood, they finally light up my apartment complex. It's tempting. #SpectrumCable sucks so bad.

    Google Fiber did the same thing, but usually selectively, as if it were a lottery. Verizon Fios made big general promises to everyone. Both were a bad example of how to be a Fiber Optic company.

  29. Constantly getting pitched to move up from 1G #GoogleFiber internet to 2G. Sounds nice but I think it may require a special router/access point. As in, the one Google would send. They just don't get it: I would rather stick with the 1G slower internet and be in charge of my own hardware. When we got Google Fiber years ago the supplied router was an unacceptable piece of shit.

  38. I have finally figured out what was wrong with my #Nextcloud #Docker instance.

    It had nothing to do with Docker and everything to do with my public IP address at home changing!

    I wish #GoogleFiber would allow for static public addresses!

    I might need to figure something out to either alert me to an IP address change in the future.

    Even with a job, trying to run my Docker containers on a VPS isn't going to be a very viable solution for me.

    I rather run them on my beefy machine here at home.

  43. We just got an email from #SpectrumCable -- presumably sent to other customers too -- that they've bumped us up to 400 Mbps (from 300), no charge.

    I'm guessing that, on top of the tech just generally getting cheaper to deploy and operate, they're also feeling the heat from #GoogleFiber -- which put cable all down our street earlier this year (after a decade-plus of saying they'd be available here but never specifying exactly where or when, and then becoming available in some parts of town, but no coverage map) and is apparently now laying cable on the main road towards town, so...

    ....any month/year now... (I'm shivering with anticip.........)

    I did a test, and it's actually closer to 500 Mbps -- but, of course, download only. Upload remains at...

    ...wait for it...

    12 Mbps. (Well... 10, but with spikes up to 12.)

    I believe Gfiber is up/down symmetrical, so...
