Very true my friend, in the Pacific Northwest there are many homesteaders completely off grid in the mountains!๐
I love that! I will never live connected to the grid again! It's similar here in Lower Puna, as most of the people in this area are also off-grid! ๐๐๐โจ๐ค
It has responsibilities but it is very freeing my friend!!๐๐
Right now we were under a high wind warning, it's nice to know we have electricity off grid!!
Oh, indeed, that's very true, but they are well worth it, and it sure is! I know that is very satisfying, my friend! ๐๐๐โจ๐ค
It is definitely very satisfying, knowing we have back up electricity with the rain and wind pounding outside at this moment!๐๐๐
Very nice, and that's exactly what I was figuring! We have a very custom system that uses a dual broadband router that connects to mobile networks, and it's on T-Mobile as of late, which has thankfully worked pretty well. I've been strongly considering getting Starlink just for me, however...hehe. ๐๐๐โจ๐ค
Itโs still a bit on the pricey sideโฆ.$120 a month ๐
We had just reached the point where is Ziply fiber was dropping out four or five times a day?
And it isnโt even fiberโฆ. They just doubled up the thin copper phone lines that run to each house. speeds were 20 to 21 Mbps on a good dayโฆ
Much, much less on a bad day.
We had to cross our fingers every day we posted, hoping that we didnโt lose Internet until we were finished Lol!
