Interesting direction, any recommendations? As I feel like I’m starting all over again these days lol.

It’s like fundraising, if you have to ask if they fulfill their promises, you should know it won’t be long before you hear they didn’t. Besides, this sounds like a con from the way they describe it. So yeah, that’s gonna be a no from me, dawg.

No problem, always glad to get someone out of the curse of the monthly modem fees. 😂

Canceling Apple TV over this, knew they were spineless, but this is pathetic since it’s one of the few shows I watch on it. Growing really tired of all these service subscriptions as it is.

Lol Funny you mention email notifications, I just enabled mine too.

And, thanks for the information, I’m stateside but I’ll go with Mullvad! Glad to know there’s an alternative though.

Thanks for the detailed reply and no problem, I know how easy it is to get busy lol.

Can you comment on the yearly price difference between the two? My only concern is everything lately is seeing price increases. Also which would you say would be best speed wise, and does either have limitations on the number of devices?

Really appreciate you taking the time to answer, because it’s so hard to choose these days.

I don’t use PIA, but for anyone also wondering, what VPN for you suggest investing a subscription for? Any why?

Thanks, yeah it was bad but over the years it stopped haunting me. Did take a while to get adjusted to reality, since in the coma it was a constant game, making me think I was awake… but, limbless, attacked or dismembered, among other things.

The days without eating weren’t too bad, it was really the removal of all the tubes like you mentioned, I was intubated and had a breathing device inserted that i apparently tried removing twice while coming out.

I kinda tried killing a nurse a few times that I was sure was attempting to kill me lol, thankfully I was so weakened I moved like a tree sloth. The worst was always catheter removal, as they always left it inflated and needed me to be awake when they pulled it out. They did it six times… my genitalia has never forgiven me. It’s even worse when they put it in if you’re alert, it feels like someone is putting a straw in.

Technically dying several for minutes after a stroke due to an aneurysm, worst thing I ever felt. They considered me dead, yet somehow everything restarted and I woke up gasping incapable of speech. I was thrown in an ice bath and they induced a coma. And yes, you can hear the outside world and the worst experience I’ve ever suffered mentally. I was in there for what I assumed was decades of masochist torture for realizing I wasn’t awake, despite my minds initial insistence I was. I still question if the acceptance, would have meant my dying and the torture was the pain of trying to stay alive. I eventually woke up to discover it had only been 10 days, and I was capable of basic speech, but my muscles had decayed to the point simple movement was almost impossible. In under 2 weeks, I relearned English and how to walk again. Since therapy, nothing is even remotely scaring as what your own mind can do to you.

lol, Thanks, seemed like a nice and easy joke.

Quadratic breathing

This is what I do, works well for me.

Glad to have helped, I just came back since they’re in bed finally and I was going to recommend this: ASUS WiFi 6 Router (RT-AX68U) - Dual Band Gigabit Wireless Router, 3x3 Support, Gaming & Streaming, AiMesh Compatible, Included Lifetime Internet Security, Parental Control, MU-MIMO, OFDMA https://a.co/d/6TaeEpu

But you got the TP-Link AX1500 for around $70 that’s not bad. It’s $30-40 less than my recommendation, but I tend to aim for stuff that can last near a decade 😂

Thanks, so far the modems $59 for an Amazon Warehouse modem, which simply means the box is dinged up and they can’t sell it for $120 they usually ask.

Give me a second to find a router, kids are driving me crazy lol. What’s the size of the home, 1,200sqft or 2,400sqft? If it’s smaller around 1,200sqft, that’ll make it easier for me to price hunt. Since the market for everything is sorta high right now, try remembering a router can cost $100 alone. 🙁 So anything cheap is cheap for a reason, so be wary.

Either way, buying the 2 devices separately is smarter and tends to be the way to go in these situations, and can last far longer than a combo device.

I was mostly asking for the provider since they almost always have a small list of acceptable modems. Unless you can copy and paste the ones you know they’ll accept, it’ll be hard to know if they’ll allow it. Plus, buying a combo unit is usually a big mistake, as they tend to be garbage and overpriced. Buying separate sounds like extra steps, but from experience it’s the way to go.

I would advise against a combo unit, what’s your provider, speed tier, and how much are you looking to spend? By the way, if you have a larger home/area you plan on covering, you’ll likely need to spend more.

Sadly, no. And the company has had a past of treating it’s customer base as garbage. So prepare yourself for shenanigans.

This is why I trust no one when it comes to software setups.
