My cell phone and hotspot are LTE 4G.
I understand 3G is on it’s way out. I know several folks who have had to upgrade their cell and flip phones to 4G because of 3G’s obsolescence.
Ya. Telephone technology is moving quickly. But it is usually stable for a couple of years until they move on to the next thing.
Also, the newer, higher speed telephone networks have shorter ranges. That might be an issue in the future.
I wonder how much of a telephone network’s business is from rural customers? If a lot, then that would drive the business forward and with it support.
So your “old” Hot Spot is now connecting again to the ‘net?
Or did you have to replace it?
For years I had a four party line. In 1992 I got internet with a paid line to a city twenty miles away. I used the internet mainly at night to not disturb the other parties. I joined free republic shortly after that. Now I live in Alaska with a good AT&T internet but it was a 350mg for years. My son works for AT&T so I have it all...iPad, watch, TVs. The watch is great to call my husband when I’m stuck in the snow with my snow machine.
