Can you do starlink?

Had Starlink was great but the latency was really weird on it, for daily use it does great, but working from home the latency on it is pretty bad for streaming data..

Now have AT&T Fibre .. had it installed before the new year, but had too wait for the Ubi Router I ordered, was on the garbage AT&T gateway that they give you .. man that thing is fucking garbage.

One of these..


grab settings from the AT&T FAP, setup the PON-SFP, plug into Ubi Router that has SFP, done.

Keep the AT&T FAP around though if you do have problems, AT&T won't be able to troubleshoot the line =p

internet (comcast) feeling slow, ran test, is it possible to upload over coax cable to jump from 30ish to over 100?

Likely DOCSIS 3.1 got configured on hardware so they can still make use of existing coaxial lines at better speeds. DOCSIS 4.0 will be able to push that higher but would require all the devices in the chain to be upgraded even if existing lines can handle it.

The traditional wisdom that anything over 100 requires ditching coax is no longer true.

"Consumer" but not commercial. F U personally but it's okay if the businesses get hacked.

So, I've been a Verizon Wireless customer for going on 20 years now. I noticed that my bill is $40 more than the quoted price they gave me a month ago, so I contacted them for support. I got automated AI response. I asked to be transferred to a live agent, and it "transferred" me to AI support with a different voice. Fucking stupid.

Verizon Wireless as in cell phones? If so look at Visible, they are the same company and far far far cheaper than Verizon. Other than the extremely high bill every month I cannot tell any difference.

Verizon's customer service went to shit under the previous CEO, and the current one is slashing and cost-cutting so fixing it for higher $$$ is not on the menu. Tons of corporate stores were closed or converted to indirect franchises so be careful going in person as well.

Verizon is transitioning to all IPTV network on or around Nov 5, 2026. Cisco and Motorola VMS1100 cable boxes are being phased out as well as G1100 and older routers.

If you have Arris VMS1100 boxes those should still function and already have the firmware updated to let that happen, however it appears Verizon did not notify customers if they had those boxes but an incompatible router that needs to be upgraded. This is also causing conflicts since techs over the phone have no authority to approve G3100 or newer router swap outs for older plans so they require Customer Service to get involved and try to upsell you to newer plans.
