I live in the middle of a huge forest, we have fiber to the house but during a days long power failure I used my phone’s hotspot for internet... it wasn’t very fast but I managed to keep browsing the web and watching my shows at 480p.

The funny part is I’m in a valley and the cell does not reach me here, especially with the metal roof so I used a 40ft fiberglass pushup pole (ham radio stuff) and actually duck taped my phone to the top and used the hotspot... goofy but it worked.. if you are older, like me you will understand that I laughed a bit as it reminded me of the old sitcom “Green Acres” where their phone was at the top of a pole :-)

That's some real '70s stuff right there! I'd have wrapped my pushup pole in aluminum foil to give it that little extra boost.

Great Green Acres reference. Keep Manhattan just give me that countryside.
