I’ve had no ISP-provided Internet access since Feb. 2023 or so and, while it’s been a pain at times, I still haven’t caved into returning to the evil monopoly that is Spectrum, so far, and probably won’t for as long as I can’t land a remote job. ArrowDL, while not perfect, has been pretty good at download management for the most part in conjunction with mobile data-hotspotting.

    I switched to a home-oriented 5G system from T-Mobile. The price was decent for my area ($50/month), and most importantly, Spectrum got nothing from me.

    Before that, my wife and I would use our phone hotspots for internet (Visible has plans that have unlimited throttled hotspot). The speed was capped at 5Mbit/s, but it was enough for us (and was only $25/month/phone at the time).

    I’ve since moved back to Canada and am using a reseller (Oxio), which has been great so far.
