So here are my whines of the week. NOTE - I still enjoy living here, am happy and satisfied overall with my choice. I'm just providing some criticism which I believe can be valuable for some moving in, or those currently living there to get some of this stuff resolved.
Without further ado:
1) garbage disposal - pretty ridiculous that they expect us to bring all our garbage out in the rain, and through mud puddles to toss it out. I'm gonna harass them a little bit to accelerate the process of getting the garbage chutes ready. People have been living here for 4 weeks now.
2) buzzer/intercom - why hasn't this been configured yet? I need to go downstairs every time someone comes over to let them in
3) elevators - constantly crapping out. One or both of them are not working every other day. I've seen the elevator repair guy in there multiple times.
4) the cracks in the doors!!!!!!!!! won't revisit this one. everyone knows how i feel about this haha
5) can now hear people in adjacent unit (guessing they recently moved in ) - even when they're just talking... i guess the sound abatement isn't too good. Not much can be done about this - just an FYI.
1. Garbage thing - I agree. This is the garbage situation right now:
Bit of a joke! They bring in these small bins, which are filled immediately by all the crap on the ground, and then leave them there for 2-3 days. When I moved in, they had a LARGE bin near the front door, which was usually replaced daily. Now there are more people living in the building, not to mention the construction workers, and we all share these tiny bins?? I checked out the garbage room in the parking garage the other day. The diverter machine is in and looks ready, but the floor is dug up for plumbing for some reason. This should've been done a month ago....crazyness. I hate holding my garbage because it's not going to do any good just dumping it on the ground.
2. Annoying. Names should be added as we move in.
3. Yup! Annoying having to walk up the stairs with groceries. They've been breaking down since day 1 and have a lot of problems.
4. Cracks are annoying - has anyone done anything yet to help the problem??
Ooooh one last thing - Asmegin, I'm looking to you specifically.
You mentioned something was F-ed with the Rogers internet. I think I've encountered the same issue. I'm not sure if it's the same one - let me know what exactly yours was and if it was resolved. It seems like the internet connection cuts out every few minutes (actually seems like every 30-45 seconds). I'm using the same modem and computers I did prior to move in, so it's definitely the rogers connection/configuration. I've noticed when downloading something the speeds are very fast as expected ~3000kbps... then suddenly drop down to zero for about 5-6 seconds, then come back up again.... and drop again after 30 seconds or so, etc. When streaming video from Youtube it loads quickly for the first chunk of the clip then suddenly stops loading, and once the video gets to that point it stops playing, or starts cutting out as it slowly loads again.
When doing a speedtest, everything seems normal... (it may not have cut out during the test)...
either way, is this the same/similar issue you/anyone else has been experiencing? Let me know!
I don't have that problem at all - I get full speed 24/7. Might be something wrong with your wiring/modem etc. Make sure the modem is plugged into the -3.5db outlet on the splitter, and the TV/phone connected to the -7db. You could also log into the modem's interface and check the line stats, see if you're getting errors. Might be a bad cable etc. Just let Rogers know, they're in the building daily and will send someone over to replace whatever is broken.
