I wish Vuma would roll out in my neighborhood but I guess we're too ghetto for them. It's literally right across the street, but they're not considering bringing it over to this side.
Having been experiencing problems where there's packet loss and simply no response on my 5G signal for over a month now, I've spoken to a few support staff over the weeks trying to fix this, and I'm beginning to suspect none of them actually talk to each other or look at customer history or...
I mean, I can't afford business or first (or whatever combination exists these days) so I wouldn't sit next to them anyway, but your point is well taken.
I might be incorrect here as I don't really use VPNs, but doesn't using one generally mean that your traffic is encrypted and thus much more difficult to tag and shape, which results in better speeds?
That last set piece really makes a difference. I had the opportunity to run my DH with a Barb friend of mine this weekend and it was a surreal experience. Even though I far outdo him on the damage scale (I generally idle around T14 solo), he was moving so fast I had to struggle to keep up.
Mine disappeared during loadshedding too, and the 4G signal was weak enough that I switched to my backup LTE. I doubt that the one I normally connect to has battery backup, but then we've barely had 12 hours of electricity this weekend.
