Easy answer for an Ops guy: Cost, especially when you're giving free installations. You want the cheapest, most efficient, and available techs. Same for phone support. There's enough sunk cost in the technical part that there's little margin available for support or overhead.

I pay DirecTV a ton of money (and it just went up again), and don't have a Netflix nor Hulu account. Really can't really help you there as I don't stream anything. If I have to do on-demand (which is very rare) I tether my phone that nominally gets two bars to my laptop (if I aim it right from an upstairs room) and hope for the best. I can guarantee you that speed isn't the issue with the work thing, latency is, especially if it's VPN or any kind of secure connection. I do a tremendous amount of secure FTP to two web servers for updating htaccess files, maintaining other security files, and posting a weekly podcast. Speed's hardly been an issue for those, but extreme latency has caused some stalling in the past. Edit: I really should run the built-in spell checker more often (and now wish there was a grammar checker too)

And conversely, I get speeds of up to 50Mbps when updating apps, and other heavy-duty file downloads during the bonus period before 8am. So consider the 25Mbps to be a guaranteed average that is applicable to different systems/users, not a fixed limit. For all intents and purposes it's a meaningless number that ad companies use as a gimmick.

If all you need to do is check your usage status, you can check it on your account web page from anywhere.

Quite possible that the frequency bands that are used can't provide a significantly usable signal to that area. Too much path loss, if not too much latency. So the spot beams were prioritized elsewhere.

I think you said you had DSL. Most of us that have this service have no other recourse and barely enough mobile signal (if at all) to be of practical every day use. To us, it's better than having nothing at all. We've learned to live within the boundaries enough to help others understand what those are... as well as how to get the best use out of the system, which is most definitely not a drop-in replacement for television.

Actually, that would be ENG57 for the location, HNS internal gateway 54A, as you're likely on J1, not J2. @C0RR0SIVEmay have other info.

You have to remember there was a period in the 'naughts' where banks were giving massive high-risk loans to anyone and everyone and got caught with their pants down when anyone and everyone defaulted. Think the more reputable banks are being a bit more discrete wrt credit ratings now, despite having the regs ripped away again. The less reputable banks and the new crop of smaller, legal loan sharks will still give short term, high risk loans at exorbitant rates.

If it requires an ethernet cable it means that it needs to be a reliable, hardwired connection. You can try other schemes, but it seems that snaking a cable is likely the way to go. I would also assume it needs to be specially shielded ethernet cable, since generators tend to throw a lot of low frequency radio noise that could get into a cheap long cable, which may disrupt your entire network.

Cancellng cards or any refusal to pay will also put them into 'collections' and usually results in a bad mark in one's credit rating.

Try rebooting your modem and see if that fixes it. If not, try this in order: 1. Power off all devices connected to the modem via wifi or ethernet cable. 2. Power off the modem by unplugging the power cord from the wall. 3. Wait 60 seconds, then plug the modem's power cord back into the wall. 4. Wait another 60 seconds or so and repower your devices.

See other thread. This may be related to it. It's possible your wifi connections are weak and it's corrupting the DNS in your local network.

Error 500 is a server error. If you're consistently getting that, it's possible this is a really bad DNS entry problem that's propagated throughout your local network. Recommend: 1. Powering off all devices connected to the modem via wifi or ethernet cable. 2. Powering off the modem by unplugging the power cord from the wall. 3. Wait 60 seconds, then plug the modem's power cord back into the wall. 4. Wait another 60 seconds or so and repower your devices.

It's also possible the cache got corrupted . Good thinking. Edit: Not only possible, but it looks like that was it. That's a first for me. I doubt you were getting someone else's data since it's all keyed by account and virtually impossible to query. It's more likely that there was old data in the cache and additional data got interspersed somehow. If you've looked at the innards of the file, it's basically a SQL dump format with some whacky control characters in there. The history data is read basically once a day when you see the whirlygig "loading" and stays that way until the first time you look at it the next day (after midnight). So it could have just gotten jumbled up at that point. I have a theory that the database queries have been getting interrupted or failing, causing other issues like the 'no VDS' problem.

Sometimes the meter registers the wrong cycle starting date. For me, it usually shows it starting a day before as the worst case. I've never seen it go off by 11 days like that, assuming your cycle does in fact start on the 2nd.

That's the new buzz word that every service with a cap is using. It means that the data doesn't do a hard stop once your plan is exceeded, they just throttle it down. I have the unlimited LTE plan with Verizon, and they also throttle after 22GB.

If I'm not mistaken the links would kick off iTunes to actually perform the download, but not allow a direct download of the .ipa file. Once downloaded via iTunes, then the app would have be synched over also using iTunes.

No problems here either. In fact I've had better much luck with consistent, relatively fast downloads Apple than anything from Microsoft. Everything I get from Microsoft is usually erratic wrt speed and pausing.

If it's showing on Glasswire, it's something installed in Windows. Need to find out which one and uninstall it. There also may be remnants left behind in places like the registry (or hwatever they use now) that also have to be removed. A good malware package such as Malwarebytes can help with the rest.
