---------------------------------------- Now on Linode July 10th, 2020 ---------------------------------------- The ISP I have been using, Carolina Telephone (Centurylink) has become so insufferably slow in my area that I have switched from self-hosting to using a Linode VPS. Now my personal gopher site is no longer retro because it loads so quickly. Goodbye 90's dialup modem feel! As far as my home internet goes, I am thinking of using a Netgear LB1121 and buying some service from a T-Mobile or AT&T reseller or MVNO... I have no idea where the local AT&T tower is, or which frequency band they use around here, but I do know I get signal, my phones are always hooked onto AT&T when they are in "emergency calls only" mode. As for T-Mobile, there's a tower roughly 12 miles away NLoS through some thick forest, but band 2 and 71 come in just fine outdoors. If anyone has any ideas for AT&T or T-Mobile services that have a very high quota or unlimited services hit me up in the comment section. Likewise if someone can think of good external antennas for the LB1121 *OR* a whole different modem (such as one with band 71 and/or 5G support) that doesn't cost a fortune, the comments are open. Should be interesting. ----------------------------------------
