    Moving somewhere with solid reliable internet to somewhere without even cell reception.

    Back where I left I could download gta5 in probably 20 minutes. Now it took 20 minutes to download a calculator app.

    30% of the time my texts don’t go through without telling me they didn’t go through, so I just drive to peoples homes and talk in person or go to Walmart to make calls

    I’m fucking dieing. The only saving grace is I have a friend 2ish miles away with starlink. I set up an old phone to download files to a certain folder, then when it’s on LAN at my house to back up that folder over my local network to my desktop.

      It may be worth investing in ubiquiti WISP equipment if your friend is fine with it! Then again, yall’d share bandwidth caps and such.
