Unfortunately, we have limited options when it comes to Internet service in our area. Despite the new FiWi towers in our area, we live in a depression (physical, not emotional) that keeps us from the line-of-sight needed to receive those signals. That leaves our current copper-wire DSL, spotty satellite (we are in a poor location for that as well), or cellular hot-spots (which is significantly more expensive for a system that throttles usage too quickly).
Generally, we don't have too much of an issue. The boys seem to be able stream their own devices separately while I'm still able to get work done. However, there can also be days like today when the whole thing seems to slow down without an apparent reason. Sometimes, it turns out that one or more of our devices was going through an automatic update. Sometimes, it seems to slow down when the ground is too wet. However, sometimes the slowdown seems to be completely random.
I need to be careful not to complain too much as I know many other people in the area have even worse connections. Still, in our current, interconnected age, our Internet infrastructure needs to be better. Hopefully, we will see improvements soon.
