Hawaiian Telecom Internet

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.

（ Attention ） Offshore bank, long term investment with high interest rate

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 want to seek recognition and child support from the father of my child who is unmarried and resides in Hawaii.

Problem / Need advice

I am a Japanese living in Japan and I am pregnant with a 14 week old child.
The father of the child is an American living in Hawaii.
I was in a relationship with him, but when he found out I had a child, he said he would raise it and that he loved me
but eventually ran away.
So at the very least, I am going to force him to acknowledge and pay child support and raise the child on my own.

I know what to do under Japanese law, but
does anyone know if it is possible for a Japanese living in Japan to use Hawaii's child support authorities
to make the American father pay ？
child support? 966> I would like to know if you have any other good information or advice ・ ・ ・.

I believe that you must be a continuous resident of the State of Hawaii in order to be eligible to file an application with the court. In other words, if you hold a visa and pay taxes to the State of Hawaii, you may be eligible to receive services from the State of Hawaii. This is similar to the fact that a foreigner cannot apply to a Japanese court for legal action under Japanese law without permission. If you hire an attorney who specializes in Hawaii family law, it may be possible to negotiate and produce an agreement without going through the courts, but I feel that in this type of case, there is a very high possibility that you will pay a lot of money to an attorney and not see any results.

Hello, Ayachin-san
I wrote to you because I don't think it is someone else's problem.
I think it is possible for Ayachin-san to get child support.
In fact, there was a woman in Japan who was pregnant with her ex-boyfriend who was in the U.S. military in Japan, and she got it even though he went back to the U.S. It was on the news. It was on the news.
However, it would be better to hire a lawyer, but since there is a precedent for this, it should be quite certain and safe.
I'm rooting for you.

I am also unmarried, pregnant, and gave birth in Hawaii, so I may be able to provide some information.
I am happy to help if I can, as I too have been through a very difficult time.

The man is so used to cheating Japanese women that
he will probably get away with it.
So, you should abandon the idea of getting child support. So, it is better to abandon the idea of getting child support.
Instead of that kind of thinking, it is better to claim for compensation in a lawsuit that you have been mentally and physically injured.
Do you have a photo of the other person, his/her real name and date of birth, socials, etc. ？?

Thank you all for your comments. Your warm comments have been very comforting. I am well aware that I am selfish and will cause my children to feel sorry for me.
I don't know how many times I blamed myself for that and wanted to end it all.

However, I believe that there are children in the world who have a good life with a good father.
If you say I am just looking down on you, that's all, but I am ready to love and take good care of my children for their fathers.
That's why I posted this way, to think about what I can do for my children and to borrow your knowledge.

I received a reply today from a child support agency in Hawaii that even I can use their support.
It will be a long term process and it will be hard, but I am so glad that I thought it was worth it to let my child know that a father exists.

Thank you so much for pushing me back.

I once ， saw a case of an Okinawan woman who received child support in a similar case, so I Serch searched and found it.
A woman in her 20s sought child support for a child born to a U.S. soldier
and was granted ， child support by a court order in the U.S. state of Hawaii after locating the missing U.S. soldier.
The Ryukyu Shimpo dated 12/06/20
The support group is Woman's Pride (Chatan, Okinawa Prefecture)
Representative: Misaki Smith
070-5692-3899
The woman had a DNA test and was able to receive child support payments until her child turned 18.
You are almost there. Your baby will surely be a nutrient that will give you Energy.
You must have been very worried. What she needs now ， is compassion. She was cheated by cheaters. So, please stop criticizing Japanese women. It happens in every country.
Please give me your positive opinion for her and her baby.

About where you can play badminton in Honolulu

Question
#1
  • Azuki

Nice to meet you, my name is Azuki.
I am looking for a place to play badminton in Honolulu.

I would like to
・Honolulu area
・Indoor facilities （ Clubs are fine ）
・Hours until around 6:00p.m.（ We do not have a car, we travel by bus and train, and would like to avoid traveling at night which can be dangerous ）
・Private rental places （ We are not thinking of renting out one court, etc. ）
We are not interested in renting out a court

We could not find a gymnasium etc. to rent on the internet, and the clubs only allow participation until 9:00p.m., etc., which is late, so we gave up on the idea. I had given up on it because it seemed that I could only join the club during late hours, such as until 9:00p.m.

If you have any advice or information, I would like to know 🙇🏼

Thank you.

There is a Honolulu ・ Badminton ・ Club in Kalihi.
https://honolulubadminton.com/
The web only lists an evening schedule, but I believe they only run Monday, Wednesday, and Friday mornings from about 9am to noon.

There are other days of the week where the gym is open as badminton days, but I think they were all evening hours.

You can find some on Google using keywords like Honolulu, badminton, etc. I recently got back into it and started playing at https://honolulubadminton.com/. I myself am not young anymore and I do it for my health, but there are informal sessions on Monday, Wednesday, and Friday mornings where we play games, mostly seniors. Non-members are about ＄ 17 at a time. The other rule seems to be to bring your own shuttle. By the way, I don't have a car as well, so this club is convenient for me as I can take the bus there and back during the light hours.

I just wanted to play and asked a friend who plays every week and she said that you can play every Monday from 6pm to 8pm at McCully （ Community Center ？ ） without pre-registration. but it doesn't quite fit with the time you would like to play. I shared this in case you are available to play later in the day. I hope you find a good spot.

I haven't bought a cosmetic in a while and used it once, but I realized I have something similar and want to return it.

今回は店員さんに商品と色を選んでもらって、顎の周りに少し試し塗りしたので安心して買ってしまったのですが、次回からはサンプルをもらって自宅で何度か試してから購入しようと思いました。

I was just looking into this as I will be using the bus more often myself.

The Month Cap, as you understand it, is that once you have ridden $ 80 minutes in a given month, the rest of the month is free.
So if you are not sure if you will use $ 80 in that month, you can just use a regular Holo card.

I thought about the advantage of Month Pass, but I thought it might be to avoid charging my Holo card a little bit if I am sure to use $ 80 in a month.
However, it seems that you can set up automatic recharge, so it might save such a hassle.

Thanks for the quick reply.
I was also thinking about this last night, and I thought that if I use my HOLO card, the Month Cap would automatically be charged ＄ after 80, but I interpreted it to mean that the Month Pass is convenient for those who do not have a HOLO card and plan to ride a lot during the month. I'd appreciate it if someone could clarify this for me.

I myself used to buy ＄ 80 Pass, but there were months when I didn't know if I would use it or not, so
now I deposit every time I use it.

Once I reach ＄ 7.50 per day, there will be no further charges, and ＄ once I reach 80, there will be
no further charges.

To begin with, you cannot purchase a Monthly Pass without a Holo Card.
