Do what I do. Hold tight and pretend it’s a plan!

@Mellonin:

I've been there.
Several years ago, my mom quit our internet service for a while due to high costs I believe it was--or was it unsatisfactory performance?
I digress.

This left me having to use the city library for internet access for at least a month and at this city library depending on the computer you use, one cardholder gets 30-90 minutes of usage a day.

It was difficult.

It's scary how much the human race depends on electronics in this age. including those who grew up before technology took over like me.
I've had power trouble in this house and it never ceases to astonish and shame me how frustrated I can feel without internet access.

Are you not able to get internet for the house?
Is your city library not close?


I live in a town of less than 1,000 people. Tiny, tiny place. We don't even HAVE a town library. The only place with public wifi is a small brew pub, only open 4 days a week.

We’re all stories, in the end. Just make it a good one, eh?

If you live in the u.s I’m sure there’s something or someone you can contact and get it for half that price, if not cheaper. I’d look around a little more before thinking $80 is the best you can get. Hopefully there’s something closer to your price range because the internet is dope D;

@Mellonin: Only 4 days a week? That basically IS a week. Are you not able to go there often?

@Angelus: Well, they close at 8pm. And I usually work 12 - 8pm. So on the days I work, I literally work from before they open, to when they close. So I can't go on those days. My days off are usually Monday, Tuesday, and Wednesday - all the days they are closed. Every once in a while I will get another day off, but it's not a guaranteed thing. So there are many weeks where I can't use their internet at all, leaving me with only my 5 gb of data to use as the internet on my phone - and that goes fast!

@Mellonin: That's a major bummer.
Good luck figuring something out.

Just because you don't see me doesn't mean I'm not here. I'm a lurker.

Yeah, having no Internet sucks. I have unlimited data with my phone, but even that can be spotty when I'm at the house.
