| Anonymous Coward User ID: 49598504 United States05/08/2020 08:31 PM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | OP you need to switch to another carrier. I had the same problem you describe when I was on sprint and paying $75/mo for two lines and 2GB of fast-speed data. I called to complain and Sprint didn't do anything for 9 months except send me some kind of modem device that would have added another $45 to my electricity bill. Quoting: Anonymous Coward 78617574 I switched to a t-mobile based provider for $15/line with 3GB high-speed data, same old phone mind you, and now I get great coverage. If your provider is t-mobile, switch to another one in your region like a verizon-based one. There are services even cheaper... 15 to $23 a month. Or apply for an Obama phone and get your phone and service for free. |

I pay $25 a month, and pay $10 for gigs when I need them, which is about twice a year. Verizon is the best provider in my sparse area of New Mexico. I only lose bars by White Sands Missile Range (in some spots), and by Heltsf, some kind of hush-hush computer tech gov't. organization....heh, as best as I can tell. And then Holloman AFB will shut the Internet down sometimes for a bit, but that's the Internet. I really think this has to do with one of my neighbors....

It'd be working again. Then it'd go down, and I'd do the same. And now this. Jeez, I don't like thinking my neighbor is doing this on purpose.

Maybe you got a new wifi router and thats blocking your phone connection? A new TV? something new inside your house that might cause interference |

Keep a calm head, but one had better respect the fact that this shit is drawing real close to what some people deem worth fighting and risk dying for. I understand them fully. The heck is the joy of living in a world where I am forbidden to do what I came for? Where I can't go for a coffee or kiss a loved lady in the sidewalk or go to the friggin neighbourhood pub? I know it looks like a paradox to the hive minded, but all the "non-essential" stuff is what really makes life liveable and enjoyable, in the end. lovely post, and truth Liberalism is totalitarianism with a human face – Thomas Sowell |
