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.

    Okay, well, that’s fine, and I didn’t even think it was a personal attack, but the beef I had with your initial comment:

    Are you confusing wifi with internet? Wifi is free. It costs nothing. Internet is a different story. You can have wifi without internet, and you can have internet without wifi. They are not the same thing.

    … was that you said what not to say, but not what to say instead. So all I can deduce is that you mean for people to say “access to the Internet by means of mobile data instead of Wi-Fi”; is that right?

    There, I edited the post title, haha. For what it’s worth, I don’t think these other Lemmy users should be putting you down to this extent, either.
