Microsoft January 2026 updates cause problems for Classic Outlook email clients
Hello Can anyone tell me if this previous thread/topic is still being discussed. I can't seem to access it. Getting access denied. Either it's gone or for some reason I don't have the permission to view it. I am dealing with this issue currently where my two email accounts seem to timeout and I get an error synchroniztion message on my PC and laptop though at times it goes through. If you hit send & receive repeatedly you will get some success. What is the latest on this? Thank you.
Videotron sent my file to collections. I have never missed a payment/bill in my life!
I received a letter yesterday from a collection’s agency called GCQ that I owe Videotron 129 dollars and haven't made a payment since Nov 2020. This is entirely absurd and unacceptable. Videotron never sent me any bill or a notice and directly sent my file to collections. Who does that?! At least send me a notice first! After talking to two reps and spending an hour of my workday trying to explain the situation to them, they told me that this happened due to a system error on their part when I converted my regular account to HELIX. Apparently, they forgot to update the add-ons and make adjustments and I actually don't owe them anything. They got in touch with the collections company and have closed my file. But, if this affects my credit negatively in any way, I will take a legal action against the company. Furthermore, receiving a collections letter is insulting and unacceptable where I come from. I have never missed a bill payment in my life and have a good credit history. This is harassment! I demand a written apology and compensation for wasting my time and causing stress.

Best Ways to Diversify Internet Income in 2025?
Hey everyone, I’ve been reading a lot about alternative income streams lately, especially ones that aren’t solely dependent on traditional jobs or 9-5 gigs. With the way internet services are evolving and remote work becoming more common, I’m curious how some of you are leveraging your online presence or tech skills to earn a bit extra. Are people still seeing good results with affiliate marketing or dropshipping? What about digital investments or online consulting? I know some of these options rely heavily on having stable internet, so I’d love to hear how you're balancing that with your home setup. Also, are there any platforms or strategies you’ve found to be surprisingly effective in Canada lately? Looking forward to your thoughts!
Helix Gateway configuration questions
I just got the helix installed today and I'd like to start with I find it madness there is so little documentation on this product...even when calling support I was told they would not be able to help me as they have not been provided any other information beyond what is already available online which is very limited...regardless. 1) I'd like to know if static routes can be created on the helix as from the web interface it doesn't seem possible. 2) I understand you do not troubleshoot 3rd party devices which is understandable and I wouldn't expect you to, but I have my own router connected to the Helix and when put in bridged mode (the helix) my router does not receive a public ip address, checking the logs of my device I see the DHCP request going out on the interface connected to the helix but no response from the Helix. I guess my question is does anything need to be done to the Helix besides being put in bridge mode or am I missing something? I understand bridge mode turns the Helix into a modem so my understanding is that my own router should be receiving the public IP that the helix would get when acting as the router. With my old Videotron modem there was no issue receiving a public IP address from the modem on my router. Hoping someone can inform me what I'm doing wrong as I had no issue before using my own router with my old modem until the Helix was added into the mix.Synology NAS crashes my Helix gateway
I'm hoping that someone can help me find a solution to my problem. A little context: I've been with Vidéotron for over 20 years, prior to moving to their Helix service I had their legacy Hybrid Fibre Internet and never had a problem. I was using my own routers and everything was working well. When the technician installed my Helix gateway I asked him to set it up in bridge mode since I wanted to keep using my routers. After the installation everything seemed to be fine for a couple of days; then the problems started. The internet would go down so I'd check the gateway to find that the light was red. I would unplug it, plug it back in and the internet connection would come back. This lasted another few days and it would go down again. Some days I would have to reset it 4-5 times. I called customer support and they told me the problem was on my end since the gateway was in bridge mode. I explained that my setup had not changed, save for the new gateway, and I had no issues with the previous modem. They explained that it was different since Helix combines the modem and the router and offered no real help. After several months of dealing with this very annoying inconvenience I decided to reset the Helix gateway to it's factory settings and only use that for my home network. After setting up everything the issue started happening again. This time I knew that it wasn't because of my routers so I started eliminating other devices. I determined that the problem was caused by my Synology NAS. This is actually a "faux" Synology NAS, meaning that I'm using open source software called Xpenology to run the Synology DSM software on a regular computer. So, whenever I plug my NAS into the network it crashes the Helix gateway. Sometimes it's almost immediate whereas some other times it can stay up for an hour or so. I've played around with different settings on the NAS and turned off most of the services but that didn't resolve the issue. What I tried today and what seems to be working so far, is leaving the gateway field blank in the NAS network settings so that I can still access it locally but it can't reach out to the internet. I apologize for the very long post and if you've made it this far I want to thank you for reading this. Does anyone have any suggestions? PS. I hooked up my NAS to my dad's Helix gateway and it ran fine for about 10-15 minutes. I realize now that I should have left it connected for at least a few hours.
