lol, i already have an extra 5G router for less and unlimited volume 🤣
Will they shield me from their outages?
TIL Hotspot is now called Home Internet Backup.
American internet prices are wild.
This sounds really expensive. 5G as a backup makes sense, but 30 bucks is actual primary service money, not just in case money.
Make it 5 and I would consider it.
Or even $50 a year with like 5 GB included and pay-as-you-go afterward.
But yeah, $30/mo is more than I pay for my single line that also includes hotspot.
Or even 5 flat and 30 for a month when it kicks in or is enabled.
Edit: ofcourse not when it kicks in if TMobile is also your primary provider. Cause that just invites fuckery.
How common are these outages? My ISP provides a SIM with unlimited data for extended outages (like more than a day). This price doesn’t make sense for smaller outages.
So I have T-Mobile in a major city. Whenever my ISP goes down, my normally fast 5G slows to a crawl due to the increased load. So it seems like when you need this the most is when youd get the worst performance.
I live in the middle of nowhere up a gigantic mountain with gigabit fibre and have literally never once had an internet outage
WTF is happening in the US that makes outages common?
