which bar are you gonna watch it at? i'm kinda looking for somewhere public and casual to take my new girlfriend

9/25/2009 6:20:30 PM

I pretty much only go to Speakeasy to watch games. Not that it's the best sports bar in the world, but they all know me there so I get the hook up on food and booze.

9/25/2009 6:20:58 PM

o i c

i have been there once 2 years ago

9/25/2009 6:21:36 PM

back in my heavy drinking days when I first moved to Greensboro, me and my friends hung out up there like 4 nights a week. I got to be pretty tight with the owner, which has it's advantages.

9/25/2009 6:23:00 PM

thats the place i usually go when i occasionally want a drink

mainly cause of that one time i went there with you and got smashed, it was a fun place.

i also go to this one mexican place up on battleground when i want a kinda secluded place to hang out. not so much romantic, but just quiet and alcohol-y

9/25/2009 6:28:16 PM

Casa Vallarta?

9/25/2009 6:51:40 PM

Casa Bonita?

9/25/2009 6:53:41 PM

im not sure what its called, i just know that i found it cause it was supposed to be wholly guacamole and they were supposed to have 1.50 margaritas

9/25/2009 6:54:58 PM

ah yeah, Casa Vallarta across the street and up Battleground a little ways from where Wholly Guacamole used to be. That is a pretty cool bar area for a mexican restaurant....almost like a sports bar at night.

9/25/2009 6:57:25 PM

yeah thats the kind of place i like. for 2 reasons

a) the atmosphere
b) the fact that we found it by total accident because we were looking for cheap margaritas on my phone

9/25/2009 6:58:37 PM

Didn't they become a Pablano's?

9/25/2009 6:58:59 PM

i'll try to remember to pay attention to the name next time i go... i seriously dont know the name

9/25/2009 7:00:19 PM

My mom actually recently moved over to that side of town so I am over there quite a bit. I will have to remember to look next time I am over there.

9/25/2009 7:11:43 PM

It's a Pablano's. And the margaritas are good and cheap.

Who has Roadrunner? I've been running speed tests all day and keep getting numbers more or less like this



This can't be right

9/29/2009 9:46:48 PM

i have roadrunner lite

because i'm poor and rarely home

9/29/2009 9:47:59 PM

I signed up for standard, the download speed should be like half that, I think.

The price was $50/month, I called and asked if I could get it for less than that. Dude was like, sure, we'll do $25 for six months, $35 for the next 12, no contract, no bundle. I'm sure with boobs you could get an even better deal.

9/29/2009 9:51:42 PM

yea i guess. i just don't care roadrunner lite is all i need i guess. and it is like 14.95 a month or something.

9/29/2009 9:54:32 PM

9/30/2009 1:58:49 PM

Anything more than 3.0 Mb/s is pretty much a waste for the average internet user.

9/30/2009 2:01:28 PM

Yeah, pretty much

What plan are you on, jimmyp

9/30/2009 2:31:10 PM

Same one as you, the standard. When TWC tried the whole metered thing they bumped up the speeds a bit. I think they also gave folks that speedboost thing. So my speed really isn't 21 down, except for the first few minutes of a download. I know when we watch Netflix it always does the adjusting thing after the first few minutes.

9/30/2009 7:53:37 PM

Is the farmer's curb market worth a damn? It's like half a mile from the crib, I wanna walk over there Saturday.

10/1/2009 8:13:52 PM

thats with a torrent box running and my brother playing wow and doing god knows what else upstairs.

i think mine is very fast

^ the corn sucks, i went about a month ago. but everything else was pretty good

10/1/2009 8:16:22 PM

had lunch at spring garden pizza the other day... it was ehh

10/1/2009 9:42:21 PM

theres a pizza place that i like i can't remember what it is called

it is off tate street next to a sushi (? i THINK) place.

10/1/2009 11:25:27 PM

^^ Spring Garden is pretty good, their mozzarella sticks especially

^ New York Pizza? Not so great

We eat a lot of pizza lunches at work

[Edited on October 2, 2009 at 9:24 AM. Reason : ]

You guys can talk shit about Clearwire all you want, but this is the new WiMAX shit that's rolling out November 1:



So yeah, PM me when you are ready to sign up

[Edited on October 2, 2009 at 11:14 AM. Reason : a]

10/2/2009 11:13:21 AM

How much are you paying for that? I'm paying $30/month.

[Edited on October 2, 2009 at 2:35 PM. Reason : Do you work for Clearwire?]

I've hit just under 30 Mb/s on speedtest.net (RR regular, greensboro) but the fastest download I've actually seen sustained for several hours is 2 MB/s (16 Mb/s) (utorrent). It is random though and at first I thought it was the powerboost shit or whatever but I think that is only supposed to speed things up for the few MB or something like that. It's been this way since I've lived here (5 months).

My parents have Turbo (its the greensboro market but they live in the boonies about 30 miles north of greensboro) and they sustain 25 Mb/s. They just got RR a year ago but dad had been calling 1-2 times a month for years trying to get it, so I assume it has something to do with a newer line and sharing with less people.

10/2/2009 3:01:10 PM

Anyone know of any houses for rent in the area? I like the Friendly to Battleground area a lot, looking for around 900 for a 2 bedroom that allows pets. Looking to move in around December 1st.

"Do you work for Clearwire?"

Yes, so I don't pay shit. That's on our office modem. I don't get coverage out at our house in Whitsett. I am looking to cut back our Time Warner though because we are getting RAPED! How did you get that shit for $30? Best they have offered us is $30 for the 1.5 Mbps.

^ tons of houses for rent right now. I recommend the neighborhood behind Lowe's on Battleground. Lots of neat little houses for rent for fairly cheap

[2:41:35 PM] Tyler > Hi Zach, I am interested in signing up for Roadrunner Standard, but I don't have a need for cable or home telephone. Is $49.95 the lowest price I can get without a bundle?

10/3/2009 4:59:00 PM

where is good hibachi up in here up in here?

10/5/2009 5:23:30 PM

^^^^ Yeah, thats where I am looking mostly. I'm going to just drive around and call numbers on Wednesday till I get a bite. Exciting!

10/5/2009 5:25:41 PM

dude you work for clearwire?

i've recycled like 50 of your modems over the past few months because no clearwire number on the internet will answer their phone.

do you want all the equipment i get from now on?

10/5/2009 5:26:01 PM

^^^^^ called and tried to get switched to that yesterday. they told me it was only for new customers, and that the best they could do was put me on the RoadRunner light (1.5 Mbps) for $29.99. To which I told them that I am not under contract and can just quit, so why wouldn't they offer me the same deal they are offering new customers. The dude pretty much told me to go fuck myself.

^ nah, those modems won't work anymore come 11/1.

pay attention to myyyyyyy question

10/5/2009 5:28:49 PM

i'm sure the routers will...

i try to turn them in mainly cause i know you guys are charging people a hefty fee for not returning them. but go figure, no one will pick up the phone or return a call to pick up all the ones i come across. ha ha

time warner picks up their dvr boxes and embarq picks up their dsl modems.

10/5/2009 5:29:51 PM

are you talking about the wireless routers or the actual modems?

yeah, the wireless routers will work, but the modems won't work anywhere in NC come 11/1.

however, they will work in other markets that haven't converted to WiMAX yet, so yeah turning them in is probably a good idea.

10/5/2009 5:31:30 PM

i get tons of both, the black ramp-shaped modems, and the netgear wireless routers.

10/5/2009 5:35:53 PM

yay modems!

so...hibachi...anyone? anyone?

10/5/2009 5:41:45 PM

Sell the netgear routers on eBay, at least that's what I would do. Those are actually purchased by customers and not leased through us, so you just have a bunch of free wireless routers on your hands.

the black modems with the 5 lights on the top are usually leased, so those would need to be returned to the warehouse. I can get you that address if you want.
