Computer Help and Support

For people in locations without wifi or land line internet, it is becoming very difficult to get high bandwidth/unlimited plans at all. Most of the major carriers have dropped them completely and only grudgingly support pre-existing contracts on a short term basis.

Sure, if you only go over a monthly plan by a few gb, it's not too painful. But use 30-50 gb/month and meowch! Not to mention after 12gb or so they throttle you down to a crawl wrt bandwidth.

Starlink may help here, but it is rolling out very slowly. And at $500 initial cost and $100/month it isn't cell phone plan cheap but it isn't crazy either. Still, if everyone jumps on it, it will be crawling. Sat service is best used by few people spread out over a large area, not by every rooftop on long island.

I sometimes work from the shore in RI and have to rely on cell data plans. It is painful now that my new employer doesn't cover it. I may have to go starlink 6 months of the year just to get by if they let me do that.
