August 04, 2024 The place I live has a very low amount of internet providers to choose from. We had another internet provider in the past and it did not work at all so we resorted to getting a mobile hotspot. We then switched to our current provider and it works better, but still not great. I find my network cuts out a lot, is slow, and does not reach every area of our home.
