How Many Internet Connections Do You Have?
from the reliability-sucks dept
An article by a guy complaining that he has to have a ton of different internet connections because none of them are reliable. I agree. I have a dialup, a ricochet, and DSL, and I don't trust any of them to be working at any particular point in time. Though, also, I do use each for different things. The DSL is useful for hosting stuff, the ricochet is useful for being wireless and being able to travel, and the dialup is useful as a cheap backup (and for travel to places where ricochet isn't).
Thank you for reading this Techdirt post. With so many things competing for everyone’s attention these days, we really appreciate you giving us your time. We work hard every day to put quality content out there for our community.
Techdirt is one of the few remaining truly independent media outlets. We do not have a giant corporation behind us, and we rely heavily on our community to support us, in an age when advertisers are increasingly uninterested in sponsoring small, independent sites — especially a site like ours that is unwilling to pull punches in its reporting and analysis.
While other websites have resorted to paywalls, registration requirements, and increasingly annoying/intrusive advertising, we have always kept Techdirt open and available to anyone. But in order to continue doing so, we need your support. We offer a variety of ways for our readers to support us, from direct donations to special subscriptions and cool merchandise — and every little bit helps. Thank you.
