I think anytime you get committees involved you're going to end up with blandness. Better to bore everyone than anger anyone.

I generally don't use Verizon's routers, there are much better options out there, and FiOS works with literally ANY router that doesn't have a built-in modem. Using a third-party router gets a little more complex if you have their TV service, but it's still possible.

It’s the best block hands down! No other block comes even close IMHO. Shake Shack and Village Whiskey for burgers, two of the best italian restaurants in the city, an OG comic shop, the music shop, Helium Comedy, The Adrienne with the two improv theaters in it along the yoga and meditation place, one of the best sushi in the city, the best hole-in-the-wall and family run Indian restaurant, a nice Spanish guitar luthier, and some other nice businesses…

I suppose I assume most people live their lives with curiosity and eagerness to experience that which is new, or that which they don't know.

The taxes on properties like that are good for Philadelphia instead of being located just outside the city.

We need more housing

builds more housing

Yeah, take that yuppies

Why are you this way?

Between 21st and 20th

r/urbanhell is secreting

Or off suburban station building as you're coming around the corner of city hall from east Market Street and heading west on jfk Blvd

It's better that the wealthy yuppies congregate in high rises there than buying even more rowhomes in the surrounding areas of north and west Philly and price out even more people than they're already doing

I live 5 minutes from the musueam and the novelty hasn't worn off. Everytime I go up the stairs and look at the view it's like my first time. The musueam building itself is a fascinating work of architecture that I can't get bored staring at.

That being said, I've never once set foot inside. I have zero interest in art and can't tell a master piece from a child's scribble. I'd assume a good amount of tourists are in the same boat as me. Also, every medium-to-big city in the country has an art museum. You have to be really obsessed with art to differentiate between what the PMA offers vs any other art museum.

Same here, switched 7 years ago. 50/50 was still a better option than Comcast's 5 mbps upload speed.

This looks bad. Guys… c’mon

Cool dude 👍

My bad for accidentally saying "modem" instead of "router." I'm used to Comcast using cable modems. I signed up for Verizon FIOS 7 years ago and it still says 200/200 mbps on my statement. I also bought the Fios Quantum Gateway Router for 3 installments of $149.99, instead of renting the router at the time of purchase. Not sure if that is still an option anymore. Of course you don't own the ONT, but it's still installed on your property and Verizon is not charging you for it either.

Waiting for Equinox to come to this building

200/200 has been replaced with 300/300, and has actually always been provisioned as 300/300. In fact, you should be able to "officially" switch to 300/300 without paying more than you currently are.

Oh, and there's no such thing as a modem in FiOS. The box where the fiber plugs in is the ONT, it does essentially the same thing as a modem, and it remains Verizon's property. It's not rented or sold to customers. What connects to it is a router, not a modem or modem/router.

What speed do you get with a wired connection? 300 is normal for Wi-Fi unless you're using 6 or 6E.

I just tested now with fast.com, got 330/350. My plan is 300/300.

For the premier residential tower in the city, it's pretty bland. Crazy to think that the neighbors hired their own architect to influence the design to look like this.

What and Sansom is this

I miss the Roxy. It was my favorite theater.

Long In The Tooth is my fav record store and makes this block alone, and that's before you add in all the other fun local shops

IIRC the top two floor penthouse was going for like $26 Mil? Ridiculous
