Real talk: are you in dialup or something like satellite with really bad rates? Backwoods? Fire watch tower?

I live up on a mountain but I get 4G and 5G service, so my Internet is one of those 5G boxes. It's usually pretty fast, but recently it's been chugging along (luckily only for a handful of minutes at a time before going back to normal for a while)

That image made me relapse.

I'm very far from a Musk fan and hate the massive leap towards Kessler Syndrome that Starlink satellites have wrought but... I think you should get Starlink.

It's alright now, thanks for the suggestion though! The provider was just having awful outages

I actually had starlink a while back, the latency was worse than my 5G/4G box so I didn't stick with it

A true lesser of two evils scenario, then. I'm sorry those are your options.
