Hello !
I would like to ask if anyone using HT internet in the Waikiki, Kaimuki, or Diamond Head area has any problems with connection or speed. I am currently using Spectrum, but I am wondering if I should switch to Spectrum to save money since it costs $90 for internet alone. However, I know that the price of HT is going up every year. Please let me know if you are using it ^_^.

Honey bee, I think it would be a good idea to describe your internet usage.
The speed you need will depend on how many people are using it, whether you do streaming, etc.

By the way, I am in an old apartment in the McCully area, so I don't have access to HT's blazing fast connection, 50 Mbps (about 20 Mbps actual), but it is fast enough for watching YouTube by myself.
The price would be $ 70 or so for the regular service, but when I told them that Spectrum's service with the same speed was $ 25, they discounted it to $ 30.

We switched to T-mobile internet this year. We used to use Spectrum or Hawaiian Telcom internet, but both of these companies become expensive after the 2 year promotion period, but T-mobile has $ 40 ~ $ 50 with no extra fee. It seems like this price is still the same after all these years. We consistently get 200Mbps speeds at home. Other than that, the best thing about T-mobile is that I can set it up myself without having to call a technician to set it up. I can take it home and set it up and try it out for 15 days to test speeds, etc.

I have been using HT for almost 20 years. Formerly in Makiki and now in Ala Moana.HT has a lot of problems to say the least. When my neighbors get up in the morning or come home from work and everyone else is using the internet, it cuts out quite frequently (, stays offline for 30 minutes at worst, or mumbles finely about 30 times an hour ), and the speed becomes extremely slow and unusable. So last year, I asked them to increase my Mbps, but the person in charge did not show up at the appointed time, so I made a new appointment, but that day also ended up with no show. During that time, I had no internet for about two weeks, which was really inconvenient for me because it interfered with my work. I couldn't help but laugh when I heard that an acquaintance's father had worked for HT for a long time, but switched to Spectrum right after he retired because he still had many problems with the internet. However, the good thing about HT is that the price is negotiable, so you can get a much lower price ?. 566>" and they will give you a surprisingly low price. If you still feel that the price is too high, they have a loyalty ・ discount, which allows you to get a further discount under the authority of the person answering the phone, so if you push again, they will give you an even lower price.

Even though I'm half US expat for 30 years and shelved my mother's side, who was a white supremacist, I've lived in Oakland and similar places, since I came to the US.

I now live in Silicon ・ Valley, but trauma is not something that goes away easily. I don't know how it can be erased because you can't go back in time and start over. From 1994 to last December, no matter where I went or what I did . . .

There are others, but for now, this is what I want to hear more than anything.

Who else has "expat traumatism in the US" due to American society reacting with hatred and violence to the hatred of Americans in particular and Asians in general for not understanding or being used to it?

I am a green card holder.
I returned to Japan because of my spouse's work, which I regret.
I knew before I moved here that I wasn't keen on the new place, but as I suspected, I just don't like the new place anyhow.
There are not many jobs in the countryside, and the weather is cloudy most days, which depresses me. I am also feeling depressed because there is not much work in the countryside and the weather is cloudy most days.
I am applying for a re-entry permit, so I am hoping that I can live with my husband in the U.S. for a little over 6 months and in Japan ) for
6 months.
In the meantime, I have started looking for remote work in Japan or the US.

If you are aiming to live in Japan or the U.S. as well, or if you have done so, I would appreciate your advice.
Thank you!

Nice to meet you. I came to the US as a teenager after the Great Hanshin Earthquake, where my mother of Italian descent lived, and although circumstances have kept me from leaving now, I really wish I could have returned home.

I'm currently living in Silicon ・ Valley, but by last December I had lived in every big city and country here and there.

Americans don't know, aren't used to, don't know, and harbor a violent hatred for things that are even slightly different from themselves. There are Americans who don't, but those people are the exception.

In America, putting only oneself first, and bullying words and actions, is an old and withered "sign of strength".

And justice, etc., is determined by kind--race, gender, etc. In the world and in the courts. Especially if you are Asian, there is no justice if you are DV'd or killed.

Using tax laws, almost no one can even rent a room alone now. Eating out is mainly the same, cheap food is mostly junk food.

Medical care is too expensive and insurance may be unaffordable in some places.

Modern young couples often live with their children to pay rent for a 1R apartment, and parents may even work more than 4 jobs total.

Asian and Latino immigrants are taken advantage of or dumped daily. They are harassed from all sides, both at work and in the community while doing the work that Americans do not do at all.

Why on earth would anyone do anything in this situation, because over here, the power to change society is bought. People who are not property owners do not leave to become politicians.

And as you can see, different kinds of people have already decided how much money they can make.

If you want me to explain further, you can contact me, anytime.

8% annual interest rate, no taxes to pay.
I've been getting solicited from many places recently to move all my savings to a bank in the U.S. ?
I'm not sure if this is a good idea or not, but I'm sure I'll be able to get a good deal.

If you listen carefully,

only Japanese can open an account.
Residents of the U.S. cannot open an account.
It seems to be that.
Why can't US residents open an account even though the bank is in the US ?
I wonder.

Anyone who has been solicited or knows this information
would like to share information ??

I used to live in LA until a few years ago, but I am now back in Japan.

I don't have an address in the US at this time, but I need an address in the US to receive mail.

I know there are some business services such as a rental address service ? but it would be helpful if there is a place where I can do this online or other procedures from Japan.

I would appreciate it if there are people who have kept an address in Japan after returning to Japan, or if there are people who know more about it.

Dear MAMI

Some banks such as Chase and US Bank can change your Japanese address.
Otherwise, the only way is to sign up for a mail forwarding service such as shipito.
For US citizens and US residents, it is difficult to open a non-US account due to FATCA.
I know someone who uses a forwarding service
if they can't come to terms with their parents in the US, etc.

I passed the written exam today and want to take the skills test, but
I am having trouble getting an appointment because they want two months proof of address with pay stubs and cell phone bills if I really live there.
I have only been there for about a month and have not received those documents.
The company told me that I could go after explaining that section, but I do not speak English.
If anyone has any similar experience, I would appreciate it if you could help me.
I would also like to get a driver's license as soon as possible if that is really possible, so I am also looking for an interpreter.
Thank you very much.

Some people used to say "hagare" (toilets) such as "oira", "wai", "waiha", etc. ? I think it is a little strange to use the first person of an elderly man.
