Google fi is great it's just ten dollars per gigabyte so on a good 4g connection that's only like a dollar per second or two

also no tech will help your lovely 4g/5g/6g network if it's over crowded because you are trying to cheap out and use one tower to cover a million people or something the only reason '4g' was good was because no one else was on the network when it first came out, over time after everyone upgraded their devices to 4g capable it's now terrible again without deploying enough towers for coverage and the cycle starts again on the other hand even the old 3g/hspa can be great if you have proper network setup eg. multiple towers in an outdoor area with lower frequency band for maximum coverage while hot spots are reinforced with multiple micro cell sites with higher frequency bands for maximum bandwidth, it was amazing to have 5 bars of responsive cellular data even when you are 3 floors underground because someone planned out the building with microcell/repeaters just look at verizon and how their network still dies when there's an event going on nearby with no extra cellular reinforcement, or microcells, to boost their network even when they have multiple bands going on at the same time DaNzA fucked around with this message at 08:40 on Feb 23, 2016 |

echinopsis posted:lmao "terrible" it used to happen a lot on att's 3g network when iphone first came out where loading anything will just time out and you get an instant 'call failed' when you try to make a call, now it happens on verizon's lte network too when you are in town and there's a crowd nearby nz actually has better network as in they have pretty good cell site coverage even when you are in the middle of nowhere, but similar thing can still happen like when it's a nice summer day out on new brighton beach and everyone goes there while sharing photos on their phones or what not, the network still dies or get stuffed simply because they didn't bother to add extra capacity in the popular areas

I have never had trouble with my Verizon connectivity in the past 5 years, in fact it far exceeded other cell carriers in term of speed & range, although it was a bit more pricey. I'm a human being redneck who spent most of my life in the mountains though, so really the fact they were wiling to invest in multiple cell towers without government subsidy in an area with extremely low population density (for California) speaks more about them as a company than anything else could, IMO
