Got a message via his phone as to why we've not seen him around lately. If you recall he was moving to another location & apparently has made the move. But is having trouble with getting his Internet service connected. Here's what he had to say:
Grr no internet for unknown time. The damn company didn't disconnect the location and hardware from previous person although the system sent me a connect email!

Believe me I know all about no internet.
As soon as I get my check I am going to try this company out called "Nomad".
The box is $99 and the internet is $99 a month Unlimited.
Right now I am paying $50 a month so it will be a big jump in price, but I am willing to have a good internet so I am willing to at least try it out. I'll have 7 days trial period.
If I decide I do not want it I'll have to pay the shipping cost to mail the box back to the company.
So I'm still dealing with T-Mobile wifi. Sometime it works and sometimes it doesn't and sometimes it just buffer's and 95% of the time it buffer's and it is a pain in my ass~!
I was thinking about getting Starlink but I'd have to pay for the equipment $599. To process the application $1.99 and $120 a month Unlimited. All of it would be $800 and I don't have that kind of money.
I discussed it with my son and he said a BIG FAT NO~!

Anna, yeah, doing with the Internet sure is a PITA. Been there a few times myself when my own went down.
Luckily though Verizon didn't take long to get a new router to me. A couple of days is all. And it only happened twice in the 13 years I've lived in this house.

Anna their site has a timer on top for 24 hours 50% off, but apparently that's not half.
And you already mention the $99 price, then that's not a limited time offer!
I see they have a rental plan for the Router, that could help get started, maybe buy afterwards.
Also do you get that $99 for a set period of time?
