 Brule | I lied, one more question for anyone:
Is there a reliable way for my to see if this would work for my mother without purchasing the membership? She's in a hole with crap cell internet. Verizon and AT&T barely work for phone calls let alone streaming, and that's with a booster. | 02:06:29 |
 nickcalyx | ask around if there is tmobile coverage there | 02:06:58 |

that's more of a question for the voip provider you choose Gotcha. I'll look into that a bit more. I just told a guy at work about this who's a ham radio enthusiast and he's thrilled. Especially the bit with your past fighting the FBI. I think he's getting one just to screw around with it. | 02:07:52 |
| nickcalyx | glad to hear | 02:08:19 |
| Brule | And yeah I can try searching for those bands you mentioned to see if they're supported in her area. | 02:08:20 |
| nickcalyx | did you ever check out https://www.cellmapper.net/ | 02:08:40 |
| Brule | I haven't. Will check it out now. | 02:09:01 |
| Brule | Lot of YouTube comments saying they're getting notices that they're getting throttled after 50GB downloaded in 1 month, until the next billing cycle.
Any idea why that would be? I thought this was unlimited without throttling? | 02:22:12 |
| Brule | I don't see anything on the website about "no throttling" so maybe I was misinformed | 02:22:38 |
| nickcalyx | T-Mobile sends the notices but calyx members don't get throttled | 02:29:47 |
| Brule | Gotcha. Thanks for all the info tonight | 03:02:16 |

 juliatuttle | in case it's helpful to anyone trying to position their hotspot somewhere with better signal, I found a PoE splitter that works well with it: https://www.amazon.com/dp/B093X6CK7Q | 16:37:35 |

| juliatuttle | I tried one of the cheaper dongle-shaped ones and the hotspot didn't charge from it at all | 16:39:00 |

 gdt | Did you use a power meter to see what the requirement was? is there a way to disable charging? would be nice to operate only with no battery, for safety | 10:59:50 |
 rueb | I just got my hotspot in the mail and set up everything and it's working awesome. I wanted to thank you guys 1) for offering something so incredibly valuable and 2) making it so easy to get started and use.
You guys are great! | 20:07:47 |
