Two days in a row!

Cool! Two days in a row with inadequate service! Can't beat that for the money! It took two minutes to load THIS page. Now that is fabulous. Dropped phone calls, can't listen to music, can't use Alexa, can't view videos from friends, can't use social media...welcome back to the 1970s, y'all.

    phone or home net? if phone did they give you a new sim card or did you use the old sim card in the prior non 5G phone?

    1970’s!  Rotary dial phones.  Long distance calls were so expensive that they were reserved for Thanksgiving and Christmas days.  Music was on vinyl or tape or radio.  Video was for recorded shows which we could only see at the appointed time on broadcast TV (with the antenna on the roof!)  Social media was the typewritten annual newsletter some people included with their Christmas cards.  It did all work as intended more often than not, though!  Oh, and Alexa was a foreign exchange student from a faraway country.
