My Comparison of Verizon FIOS and Comcast Internet and TV Services

I moved this past July to a new house that previously had FIOS installed. I was pretty thrilled with the prospect of getting off of Comcast and moving to Verizon FIOS. It’s been almost 4 months now since first switching to FIOS for my internet and TV, and as much as it pains me to [...]

One Year Review of Tmobile@Home Phone Service

Hard to believe but it was just over one year ago that I heard about the Tmobile@Home service and, unprepared, I walked into the Tmobile store and purchased my setup. But alas, it’s been a full year of using the service and although I haven’t blogged enough on this site I know a lot of [...]

Incorrect Time on Caller ID/Log/VM for T-Mobile@Home Service?

Just saw this webpage: http://www.fixya.com/support/t1043931-vtech_model_tm3111_2_time …where people are saying that their voicemails are stamped with the incorrect time. Easy enough fix. I never noticed because I might have set the time to EST right when I first checked out the router’s Admin settings.

T-Mobile@Home Monthly Bill – How Much It Really Costs (Me)

I get an email once in a while from folks who are considering purchasing the T-Mobile@Home service but can’t seem to believe that the $10 per month is true. In fact, for me at least, it isn’t $10 per month – it’s $9.99 plus taxes. I’m surprised T-Mobile doesn’t advertise $9.99 per month instead as [...]

Just a heads up and a query on this subject… Last week my T-Mobile@Home service dropped 3 times in a matter of 4 days. Each day that it happened it happened sometime in the morning. As previously discussed, to fix it I had to cycle power to the router. Well, last week after the last [...]

TMobile@Home Router WRTU54G-TM Phone Admin Screen and Call Log

I’ve had some folks ask about the router’s administration pages. It has basically all of the typical router settings pages, like port-forwarding, wireless security, etc. In addition, it has two features that are specific to the telephone capabilities of the router. While not really a ‘feature’, the above screen just shows you whether your SIM [...]
