  • I left after 2 months. Their network has the same coverage as ATT & T-Mobile combined, which is awesome…
    BUT
    Their use of those towers is deprioritized. Which means all their requests get sent to the bottom of the queue. If there aren’t a lot of people around, no problem! If you live in a metro area, you wait so long to connect that it’s basically like you don’t have service. It worked great on road trips but was unusable for 90% of my use case.

    I think a lot of the providers with discount prices do the same. A cursory internet search tells me Mint does too, but that they only use T-Mobile’s towers. So if you switch, your coverage might be better but your data connection times might be worse. Or maybe ATT just sees heavy use in my area, and you’d be fine.

    I’m in Atlanta, fwiw. Not exactly inside midtown/downtown, but within the perimeter of 285, so still fairly close to city center.

  • Does it need to be a laptop? The M1 Mac minis can be found for pretty cheap. This particular deal is dead, but I’ve seen it or similar a few times now. Something like that would let you get their new silicon without breaking the bank.

  • I bought some large paper bags on Amazon that work like tea bags. It takes longer (I usually let it sit for 2-4 days) but the effort is extremely low. And you never need to use any metal :)
