I live up on a mountain but I get 4G and 5G service, so my Internet is one of those 5G boxes. It’s usually pretty fast, but recently it’s been chugging along (luckily only for a handful of minutes at a time before going back to normal for a while)
I’m very far from a Musk fan and hate the massive leap towards Kessler Syndrome that Starlink satellites have wrought but… I think you should get Starlink.
It’s pretty great! Sometimes it gets so foggy I can’t see past the first layer of trees next to my house. It does get cold as hell during the winter (and hot as hell during the summer!) so I have to heat with a wood stove.
Real talk: are you in dialup or something like satellite with really bad rates? Backwoods? Fire watch tower?

That image made me relapse.

It’s alright now, thanks for the suggestion though! The provider was just having awful outages
I actually had starlink a while back, the latency was worse than my 5G/4G box so I didn’t stick with it
A true lesser of two evils scenario, then. I’m sorry those are your options.
whats the mountain view look like?
At risk of pinpointing my exact location on a map, I’ll oblige!
Picking the standout ones of course, usually it’s just trees with or without leaves
Oh my gosh that’s fuckin pretty.
looks hella cold tho
