Would you consider using 5g as a fiber replacement? Main downside of my setup is that if the local mast goes down, my internet and phone are automatically crippled. However, this has not happened at all since I moved to this setup in 2021… ---

It’s still DSL in my remote part of the world. Download: 20 Mbps Upload: 0.5 Mbps Just a few years ago I was lucky to get even 1 Mbps, download, so the situation is improving. 🥳 Cellphone connectivity isn’t possible at my home. My partner has a cellphone, but she uses it via wi-fi at home, and it’s also useful when she travels. I don’t own a cellphone. ---

_Based_? I had to look up the term, but the excellent animation already gave away the definition. 🕶 When my partner is at work (nearby, so likewise in our rural part of the world, which means connecting her cellphone via wi-fi), or while she travels, she communicates with me via XMPP. She uses the Conversations app on Android and I use the Pidgin app on Linux. It works perfectly. I really have no need of a cellphone. ---

Might be faking a location is pretty easy on android but I’ve never tried on PC to do it or hide it too much, as long as it isn’t pointing directly at my house I think I’m ok, geolacting shows me quite a bit away from my actual location ---

Yer in theory it should pretty much pinpoint me I think as I live less than 500 metres away from the tower that I get my internet from unless its getting it from the city where is shows but that seems way too far for me ---

> [@smokey](#): > > it should pretty much pinpoint me I think as I live less than 500 metres away from the tower that I get my internet from Do you use cellular data? If so the IP address you will get is “pulled” from a pool and may change over time. That is why your detected location seems to be far away from your actual location. ---

That is outrageus, indeed… 😆 My internet plans are both mobile broadband. Phone: 300Mbps (19,90 €/month) Home mobile wifi: 200 Mbps (16,99 €/month) So not very speedy, but it’s enough for my needs. ---

If my home wasn’t wired with CAT5 and had CAT6 instead, I would definitely upgrade to the 3gig plan my ISP provides. Unfortunately, from my understanding, with the current wiring, it would be pointless.
