I am an internet junkie... or at least I was until about a year and a half ago when we moved onto this 70ish acres here in Kansas. Then I went from having high speed internet to... nothing. Absolutely nothing. Except a cellphone that I could only use internet on if I had wifi access. Rough. Horribly rough. Now I still primarily use a cellphone but I at least can sit on the homestead and use the internet. Lol
My parents nicknamed me Green Acres. Cell service is pretty awful out here so I often found myself in strange places trying to get uninterrupted service just to make a phone call. My favorite being sitting on a pipe gate facing a specific direction staring into the heart of a honey locust tree. I later found a location where I could stand and talk but I HAD to stand. So what changed? I switched cell service from T-Mobile to Virgin Mobile. I dropped my phone in a mud puddle and it was decided that we might as well change providers to see if there was a difference ... there was.
Unfortunately 3G sometimes doesn't feel any better than dial up. And I do know dial up. Grew up with it. Frankly my parents still have it. But I don't even have a land line to get dial up. So cellphone it is.
Computer wise we have a laptop that we tether using the cellphone. Works pretty well and has saved us money as there is no need to go to town for internet usage.
Now I get to look forward to "throttling" yuck! As if it couldn't get any slower...
