    The Trump 'monster'.

    Very interesting take on the ongoing Trump saga and how all those involved are ramping up the stakes to dangerously high levels without seemingly getting any closer to achieving their goals. https://unherd.com/2023/08/the-donald-trump-monster-movie/

We will send an engineer out & send you a 4G router overnight. Saturday came, bloke in a van turned up, climbed the pole & confirmed no incoming...

    Rural speeds and gaming

    We’ve been using an EE router and 4g SIM card for about a year. Download speeds are around 60mg and upload about 15mb. This has happily run 3 tv’s, 4 phones, 2 iPads, a vr gaming machine. In bad stormy weather it’ll play up but otherwise reliable. Anyway just added a PS5 to the mix and it...

    Wifi Calling on mobiles

    Not wanting to hijack the Starlink thread I thought I'd start another .... My Moto G31 has Wifi calling on the Three network - it works well. Contract is nearly up and thinking of changing to Lebara (which uses the Vodafone network) but strangely, they tell me that that some Moto will work...

    Which mobile phone network do you use?

    Apologies if this has been discussed before. If it has just tell me the name of the previous thread. My O2 mobile phone contract has come to and end so wanting to find out what networks other TFF members use. According to what I have just seen on Google, EE supposedly has the best rural network...

    There is an area not far from where I live ,that although one can see for miles ( line of sight) , the mobile phone signal is very poor irrespective of which network people are using. Can anyone suggest how one can get the mobile phone network improved. I ask as it is very frustrating to have...

    Are rural properties about to be cut off?

    Had a call from BT this afternoon stating that in 2025 all copper lines are going to be replaced by Voice over Internet protocol VOIP. Nearest fibre? 12k or £120k away. Sound great, but if like many the availability of this technology is unreliable, unavailable or just too technical then what...

    Humans living on Mars

    Elon Musk has planned probably for at least a decade to create a City on Mars. You might think this is fantasy. However the start of this journey was decades ago. Elon Musk has the financial muscle and technology to do exactly what he has planned. The next step is putting over 1,000,000 tonnes...

    Starlink

    Satellite broadband, does anyone have experience. We have Openreach copper wire and 4G receiver. Both not good enough. No fibre planned ! I'm wondering about Starlink and then bouncing to another 3 properties with long range wireless to share the cost. Don't know if this would even be possible...

    Starlink Users?

    Looking increasing likely that if I want to see more than a crap 10mbps broadband, I will have to go to Starlink as Airband is no go here, and 4G is too poor a signal, even with an external aerial... I am struggling to see how the billing works for the service, specifically are the costs VAT...

    Twitter is...toast.

    I think we can all finally agree that spending 44 billion bucks to cast twitter into the internet graveyard and ridding humanity of it forever was probably a worthwhile move. Hope investors got their cash out first though. I will miss the wit of Jeff Tiedrich though...

    Hi has anybody got a system like this? I’d like 3 cameras that record and am able to view from an app. The internet already slow at the farm so would be running from a 4g router if that is possible. The router would be solely for the cameras. just wondering if that’s possible and if anyone else...
