r/Rural_Internet

Hello,

I am looking for a specific solution to change the physical connection for internet access—instead of using the local ISP’s cable—using only a phone or computer.

Can we force the phone to connect to specific frequencies (bands) not used by your local service provider, thereby switching you to less congested and more stable global frequencies, bypassing the usual "physical congestion"?

To the experts and those with deep knowledge in this field: Do you think this is accurate, feasible, and globally applicable,

or are there suggestions for more reliable methods in the long term, also using a phone or computer?

I’m exhausted from trying to find a completely accurate and practical solution.

Please, if anyone has the solution, help me with it.

Thank you all.

Moving to Astorville Ontario. Any locals know what the best internet is? I will be working from home.

Newly built homes have water system installed, Electricity system installed, HVAC system installed, and Natural gas installed. But why not the internet?

For the past decade or so we've been getting by on Double Dog with a rip-roaring 300kb/s, but even that's suddenly stopped working for the past month and they seem convinced there's nothing for them to do.

Calyx Institute looks like it's about the last promising, non-satellite thing we haven't tried, paired with an Invisagig or similar modern/router. Thing is, we don't get 5g. We have respectable, if spotty 4g LTE cellular, but T-Mobile's Home Internet gateway just doesn't work at all, regardless of connectivity settings.

As is likely apparent, I'm not particularly well-versed in how any kind of networking works; would Calyx connect in a way that's more like a cellular hotspot or..however TMobHI works..? If there's any distinction to begin with.

I'm thinking it's likely a dead end, but this is one case where I wouldn't mind being told I'm dumb and wrong.

Looking to install a VPN on my Amazon Firestick mainly for streaming since the App Store choices feel pretty limited

So far I’ve seen NordVPN ExpressVPN and Surfshark recommended a lot because they all have dedicated Firestick apps IPVanish also seems pretty popular for Firestick users My main goal is accessing US Netflix BBC iPlayer and other region locked content

For people actually using a VPN on Firestick which one performs the best Any apps that are annoying to use with the remote interface Also curious which providers still work reliably for streaming lately

Buonasera a tutti!

Mi sono recentemente trasferita in una casa con altri coinquilini, abbiamo installato un wifi con fibra ottica che dopo tanto è arrivata nelle nostre zone. Tuttavia, ho un bel problema: la mia camera è in mansarda e io ho bisogno di collegare il computer via cavo ethernet al modem, che è troppo lontano. Un’amica mi ha prestato dei ripetitori TP-Link AV500 ma sfortunatamente il segnale è poco stabile e non mi consente di lavorare da remoto come devo.

Per ora mi sono trasferita al piano di sotto ma vorrei davvero tornare a lavorare in camera mia, mi hanno consigliato di passare un cavo LAN bello lungo giù dalla finestra in modo tale che arrivi al piano di sotto oppure di acquistare un nuovo modem wifi senza cavo.

Avete altri consigli per me? Ve ne sarei veramente grata!

DO NOT GET NOMAD INTERNET!

If you have it, cancel it.

I was with these providers for close to a year. I canceled in February and have been fighting a refund since due to extremely poor, unprofessional and dishonest service.

If anyone wants to know more, ask in the comments. Stay away from them, they are nearly as bad as scammers!

I am thinking of getting shield internet But I’m going to use my unlocked iPhone as the hotspot router instead of a dedicated one, do you think that’ll work? I use about 125 GB a month, I don’t game, but I do watch YouTube and listen to Spotify a lot. One thing I’m concerned about is the throttling or de prioritization. Has anyone experienced this? I’m also wondering if the SIM card for WiFi is in the iPhone that’s being used as the hotspot device, will the Internet actually work on that phone as cellular data too?
