Now on Linode
July 10th, 2020
----------------------------------------
The ISP I have been using, Carolina Telephone (Centurylink) has become
so insufferably slow in my area that I have switched from self-hosting
to using a Linode VPS. Now my personal gopher site is no longer retro
because it loads so quickly. Goodbye 90's dialup modem feel!
As far as my home internet goes, I am thinking of using a Netgear
LB1121 and buying some service from a T-Mobile or AT&T reseller or
MVNO... I have no idea where the local AT&T tower is, or which
frequency band they use around here, but I do know I get signal, my
phones are always hooked onto AT&T when they are in "emergency calls
only" mode. As for T-Mobile, there's a tower roughly 12 miles away
NLoS through some thick forest, but band 2 and 71 come in just fine
outdoors.
If anyone has any ideas for AT&T or T-Mobile services that have a
very high quota or unlimited services hit me up in the comment
section.
Likewise if someone can think of good external antennas for the
LB1121 *OR* a whole different modem (such as one with band 71 and/or
5G support) that doesn't cost a fortune, the comments are open.
Should be interesting.
