Internet providers have left rural Americans behind. One county is fighting back - Lemmy.World
Before I moved back to the city, I used to use T-Mobile Home Internet in a very rural area and it was the absolute best internet you could get out there. It was about 70 MBPS down while the DSL in the area was max 10.The only other choices for the area was dial up, which was obviously even slower or satellite through HughesNet, which was super expensive and extremely data limited.
I wish I could get tmo home internet. My only option is starlink and Verizon LTE, and Verizon has managed to ruin my credit multiple times over their own incompetence.
The area I was in did not officially support it but I knew it would work so when I moved before I just brought it with me and turned it on and it worked fine and after I left I told the new residents to just go in and purchase it and if need be give a different addressAnd it would work. And they did.
My signal is weak due to obstructions.
