    Vumatel vs. Metrofibre - objective considerations when choosing between the two

    Cool. Will base my decision on packages and also ask neighbours if they've had major issues with one or the other. Thanks team

    Vumatel vs. Metrofibre - objective considerations when choosing between the two

    Thanks. No restrictions between the two re: router types or anything like that?

    Vumatel vs. Metrofibre - objective considerations when choosing between the two

    I'm sure this has been asked somewhere but I'm failing to find anything on search. I'm moving to a place where I can choose either Vumatel or Metrofibre. As far as I can tell, neither have been installed ever at this property. My current ISP (Home-Connect) is available with both, so I'm...

    Safely selling your used items

    Interesting. In response to your bolded items, I have found the following in the MyBroadband terms and conditions. Carbonite MyBroadband Carbonite MyBroadband Carbonite MyBroadband So it seems the terms and conditions are extremely similar at this site (which you are happy to use)...

    Safely selling your used items

    Carbonite's review system would have allowed you to dispute the negative rating, get it removed, and maintain that squeaky clean record.

    Safely selling your used items

    +1 for Carbonite. Great platform, mods are active in banning scammers, effective rating system for buyers AND sellers, strict rules around what constitutes a negative rating and robust systems in place to enforce that. All disputes happen in public and with transparency. People who complain...

    Foxytech experience

    Do you want to maybe edit the info in your original post, then, to clarify that? Because right now people reading it and not bothering to skip to the end of the thread will still think it's the real FoxyTech.

    Rain 5G intermittently dropping

    Mine is literally attached to the balcony's railing using the clamps that came with the CPE... Not quite a professional installation, but it works well enough.

    Rain 5G intermittently dropping

    Update time! Got a call from a very helpful Rain service agent. He checked where my nearest towers were and gave the following advice: - Try aim for one single tower directly. If the signal from two overlapping towers is equally good, it may switch from one to another, causing a brief drop in...

    Rain 5G intermittently dropping

    Good point, there are actually two range extenders connected to the device, one of which is a Netgear. Would this cause an issue with the 5G connection on a computer connected via ethernet though? Or would it only cause issues with other devices connected via WiFi? Because currently I am having...

    Rain 5G intermittently dropping

    It's interesting that you mention wind. I feel like back when I had LTE, the connection became very spotty when it was windy. And now that you mention it, I think it is more windy on the days that the 5G drops more frequently. Very weird.

    Rain 5G intermittently dropping

    I got Rain 5G about a month ago with the outdoor CPE. The speeds are great (200 down, 50 up), but occasionally the connection will drop entirely for about 30 seconds and kick me out of my game. Sometimes it goes a few days with no drop, other times it'll drop 3 or 4 times a day. Usually nothing...

    Samsung: Anyone's thumbprint can unlock Galaxy S10 phone

    Doesn't matter if you don't use one; if someone snatches your phone they could unlock it with any screen protector or bit of plastic, and instantly have access to your whole life. That's what freaks me out the most. Hopefully the fix does what it's supposed to do!

    Samsung: Anyone's thumbprint can unlock Galaxy S10 phone

    Nope, it's much more serious than that. Any finger will unlock the phone, as long as there is a bit of clear plastic between the finger and the phone. There's videos going around where people are literally putting the back of a clear phone case on the screen, pressing on it with an un-registered...
