  1. @Cornellbox literal LOL over here. Dang and I had been jealous of people who had #Metronet fiber!

    Now I want #123Net to come to my neighborhood. We paid a lot to get them to run fiber to @workantile and it was worth it, their uptime has been strong and customer service has been excellent.

  13. Broadband competition works! Apparently #Mediacom #Xstream dropped their data caps back in March, probably due to #Metronet and other ISPs that don't have them

  14. I just switched from #Comcast to #Metronet. Fiber instead of coax. Still 1G down, but now symmetric. One third the price. And the people are all nice. Of course Comcast didn’t want me to go! I couldn’t cancel through customer service, I had to speak to a "retention specialist". She tried to get me to stay by offering exactly what Metronet is giving me for exactly the same price, but adding in a mobile line (why would I need that?)

    I was kind, but I pretty much ended the discussion with this: if you give me twice the bandwidth, symmetric, at half the cost of Metronet, I’ll consider whether that makes it worth putting up with your poor reliability and customer service.

    They had their monopoly, and now they don’t.

  18. Got #Fiber installed. Still have #Comcast until I’m sure of everything. #Metronet Is my new provider. Everyone there great so far. Installation: A1. One hiccup: they are Carrier Grade NAT. That means I don’t get to control anything on the ONT (the fiber equivalent to a cable modem). Therefore, no port forwarding. Therefore, I can’t just SSH in like I’ve been doing. Just learned about other options from @jammcq research for our latest episode of @RuntimeArguments all about VPNs (and related). Installing Tailscale on my Mac was nothing. Maybe three minutes total. Tried at least three different ways to get it running on my 24.04 Kubuntu system but I still don’t have it. Jim said it was easy for him but the two of us couldn’t find any meaningful difference between our two systems. I’ll try more tonight maybe.

  22. hey, computer-touchers and other technology-knowers, i have a home #networking question.

    So, I'm trying to improve #wifi at my parents house. currently the setup is:

    #metronet ont
    cat 6
    eero 6e
    #wireless connection
    second eero 6e

    several times per hour devices lose connection for like 30 seconds. it's frequent enough that trying to watch something on a streaming service ranges from Very Annoying to Unwatchable.

    anyway, this is what I'm trying to set up:

    metronet ont
    cat 6 from ont to eero, cat 6 from ont to a non-eero #router

    so i think i need a splitter of some kind for the cat 6? Is what i need a network switch?

    also is a tplink archer ax3000 router a reasonable choice?

  25. Self hosting is great until your internet goes down. Finally back online after a garbage truck took out the fiber line that runs across the street. Again. They say they ran it higher this time. What a great idea! Nice going, #Metronet.

  29. Overall, the Metronet fiber pricing feels dishonest to me. I wonder how many people sign up for this without reading the fine print. Below is the pricing for my location, which includes 3 scheduled price increases over the next 3 years.

    Monthly Price
    $39.95

    This Monthly Price is an introductory rate

    The rate will go to 49.95 on month 13, to 59.95 on month 25, and to 69.95 on month 37.

  34. On this day in 2017, I visited Whiteman Park in Perth.

    Whiteman Park is home to the Bennett Brook Railway and Perth Electric Tramway Society, as well as two transport museums.

    Ironically, for such a transport themed park, the only way to visit is by car. This is set to change with the park's tram line being extended to the new Whiteman Park railway station on the Ellenbrook suburban railway line (currently under construction). Both the tram extension and the Ellenbrook line are expected to open in December 2024.
