Are Internet Appliance Ratings At All Useful

2/3 of a stop is a good value for my needs. the full stop was too much and 1/3 not enough at all.

My use of an iPad is simply as an internet appliance. My 3rd generation iPad is glacially slow and can no longer be upddated. With Covid-19 I am now reliant on Zoom and Face Time for connecting with friends and meetings. My new iPad is a perfect match for my needs.

Had our home number of 29 years ported to Ooma. Our VOIP phone service from AT&T was $50/month and limited to 200 minutes. Ooma warned us to separate your phone and Internet service with a dry-loop connection if you have DSL Internet service. However, upon doing more research, I learned that if you have a newer version of DSL (called VDSL2 of ADSL2+), this is not necessary. We took a chance and didn't bother calling AT&T to go through the confusing process of setting up dry-loop DSL. Our number ported over just fine in about a week and Ooma kept us updated with an exact date. The Ooma hardware is very solid and works as it should, so far. We got the Ooma Telos and 3 HD3 handsets, and the audio quality of the handsets is very good. Our new monthly cost is local taxes only, which is just below $7. Highly recommended.

We had just changed to AT&T U-verse for Internet and land-line phone via their fibre-optic connection. Within a week of the switch we suffered a (grid) power failure. Result: no phone or Internet! Not wanting that to happen again we bought this UPS system. It was very easy to connect and when tested (unplugged from the grid) it provided 4 hours of phone access (w/o computer being on) or more than an hour of combined phone and computer access. We feel more secure with this addition to our household!

This system seemed to start out as a sleeper; a decent second choice option. It’s now all over the internet; everywhere you look. Rave ratings . Countless reviews and “how to’s”. And now, in my experience and opinion, well deserved! So I won’t add more of the same. But will say that after using this Hollyland system as a wireless mic AND recording device for video production as far as I’m concerned it is in the top tier and cannot be beat for quality and performance. Especially for the price. Woe be unto all the so-called “front runners.” This system is a David in the land of Goliaths.

12 core is where its at.

Great appliance to use as a music server.

Great for everything. I only wish they made it in a few more ASA ratings.

Useful for what i need!

I have many cds and DVDs, this little appliance allows me to use all that old media
