Did you ever resolve this? I found the reddit thread below explaining that IPv6 broke when they were modifying their provisioning system and they never fixed it as it is not a priority for them and they are under-staffed.

My building just got GFiber and after I check with them on some technical matters, it will likely will stop being a priority for me to be a customer of Astound/WaveG.

.@SoundTransit this is a pretty bad user experience: I am just about to enter Overlake Village Station'e SB platform via the south entrance but the crossing beacons activate. No train in sight. In 30 seconds the southbound train which I need to get on pulls into the station and stops. The beacon is still active and I cannot cross to the platform I need to be on. Probably 20 seconds pass before the train departs and the beacon only deactivates after the train passes. So I missed the train even though I could have crawled to it. Please do not activate the beacon in front of the train until the point when the train is about to depart. If your system does not support this, it would be a worthwhile upgrade as you prepare to handle larger numbers of people on the 2 Line.

@BalducciforKCC any chance 2 Line's Mercer Island Station can open together with downtown Redmond in Spring?

Per @SoundTransit Winter Progress Report, "Segment 1, from South Bellevue Station to the west end of the Mercer Island Tunnel, is the most advanced right now. Trains started systems testing there in November, and it’s been going well. This phase includes testing power, signals, train control, and communications systems, plus passenger information systems and video displays at Mercer Island Station.".

So Mercer Island appears ahead of downtown Redmond in terms of completion progress.

Service to Mercer Island would allow leveraging both routes 550 and 554 for higher frequency connecting service between Seattle and Bellevue, also an alternative to buses stuck in Bellevue traffic.

Really great usage on the @SoundTransit
2 Line last night after 4th of July celebrations in @DTBellevue

[Anton Babadjanov @antonbaa]

@GillyH2o @flySEA Visible all the way from Bellevue.

Ride on the very first train of the @SoundTransit #2Line

[Anton Babadjanov @antonbaa]

@KeithBKyle Redmond Technology Station, d'oh 🤣 I ran into the "after party" of the elected officials ride. I figured you were on it.

[Anton Babadjanov @antonbaa]

@KeithBKyle Are you at RTS still by any chance? I ran into the mixer.

@oranv More than anything, the waves need an origin. Otherwise it looks incomplete and is annoying for people with OCD :) Putting the waves on the right of the number without an origin dot still looks better as the number sort-of serves as an origin. But definitely not current design.

[Anton Babadjanov @antonbaa]

@GordonWerner @DavidColeAIA @rice_rust_belt @asher_971 It appears they had a not quite finished attempt at copying the UX from the Transit app - see here:

[Anton Babadjanov @antonbaa]

@christodeklerk @ajoshholland I agree. I think they have copied the Transit app UX, but there the signal waves originate from the number of minutes left. Waves without an origin just look weird.

@vibronet I did the same experiment a few years ago when we had smoky weather in Seattle, and I tested various public transit vehicles (buses and trains). To my surprise ventilation was pretty good (pre-pandemic!) and levels didn't go above 1000 ppm.

[Anton Babadjanov @antonbaa]

@Honeywell_Home Highly appreciated! By the way, a related feature is Ventilation Control (which can control ERVs/HRVs in addition to just the fan). If you also enable that too, you'd be first to market! Also, let me know if you need help with beta testing :)

[Anton Babadjanov @antonbaa]

@Honeywell_Home could you please enable fan control over HomeKit on the T10 Pro (and similar) thermostats? It's available in the Residio app, but over HomeKit I can only control the temperature settings and heat/cool mode.

[Anton Babadjanov @antonbaa]

I also want to thank Transportation Choices Coalition, Mass Transit Now and, in fact, many others which were absolutely instrumental for winning. Without this collaboration Seattle would not have embarked upon this path to greener, healthier and more equitable transportation. 4/4

[Anton Babadjanov @antonbaa]

Just realized how much more significant the win of @SoundTransit 3 was in 2016 than it appears. Back in 1968 Seattle failed to fund a rapid transit system with the Forward Thrust measure. It was repackaged in 1970 but failed again due to a recession. Had @SeattleSubway not... 1/4

[Anton Babadjanov @antonbaa]

I really think that Seattle Subway changed the course of history. Today, during one of the worst economic downturns in recent history + an ongoing pandemic with transit ridership down more than 80% I'd imagine ST3 would have had no chance. 3/4

Dog/bike/kid/solo walking. People enjoying the sunshine and the first day of the Bellevue Healthy Streets pilot on SE 4th St. The street is closed to non-local traffic to provide more room to move & social distance (6 feet!) during COVID-19. https://t.co/qQdWdDwiws @bvuePD

"the concept of all shops and services within a 15 to 20 minute walk/bike commute is not going to happen because it is the right thing to do, but because people have experienced the importance of those aspects in their neighbourhoods during the pandemic." https://t.co/0DAlIDCssz
