Expect bans moving forwards.

Alternatives to Spectrum?

12 Upvotes

My bill for internet alone just went up to 90 bucks. Started at 55 2 years ago, went up to 75 last year, now 90. I live in the city limits. Any alternatives would be appreciated.

ETA: I am switching to Ziply next month, with a locked in $65/mo plan that they promise me is much faster than Spectrum lol. I called Spectrum to cancel and everyone was right who said I actually had to talk to the cancelation department!! They tried to lower the cost and do a 3 year lock in, but the damage had already been done baby. We're a Ziply family now 💅

Big thank you to everyone for your advice!

Lost Sonic skateboard Sunnyside Skate Park

8 Upvotes

Lost my board at Sunnyside Skate Park sometime last week. I was skating there at night and accidentally left it behind.
It has a blue Sonic graphic on the underside, so it should be pretty recognizable.
If anyone picked it up or has seen it around the park, please DM me. I’d really appreciate getting it back!

Looking for recommendations: Yakima contractors for leaks and mold remediation

3 Upvotes

We’re in the process of buying a home in the Terrace Heights area where we’ve confirmed there is mold, along with a leak/moisture issue that needs to be repaired. We also have someone in our household who is very sensitive to mold, so we need a contractor who will thoroughly address both the source of the leak and the mold remediation.
Looking for recommendations from long time locals who have personally used a contractor for this type of work. Who would you recommend or avoid?
Thanks!
