God damn it Android. I have unlimited 4G at work, and dial up tier WiFi at my hotel. But I guess I have to manually update my apps on 4G so they don't destroy what little bandwidth I have on WiFi.
[QUOTE=Demache;50937619]I find Verizon's voice quality to be utter trash. 6 years ago my Nokia E63 could call my landline with Unicell (so no 3G support at all, EDGE only) and music would be pretty damn clear.
On Verizon, I'd be lucky to make out the words. I can barely make out words in conversations as it is. And that's with great 4G reception, but Verizon is still stuck in 1998 and is still using 2G voice in non-VoLTE markets.
I'm willing to move to AT&T for that reason alone so I have GSM voice quality again and spend less than 50% of conversations asking people to repeat that.[/QUOTE]
I don't know what you're talking about, I've been on Verizon for years and aside from low-signal areas I've never had an issue with the clarity of phone calls.

I never thought it was bad until I switched to AT&T in the spring.

Maybe it's regional, I know my friends on Sprint complain about it. But AT&T and Verizon seem fine in Denver.

Its bad in the midwest at least. I've used Androids, iPhones, feature phones, and such and they all sound equally bad so its definitely the network. It just sounds like syllables just blend together and often have a distinct "bbrrrrrt" trailing sound. If anyone uses speakerphone it might as well be gibberish as the compression can't deal with the echo off walls.
Make a call through Google Voice to a non-Verizon number? Sounds totally fine, at least landline quality. And like I mentioned earlier, when we switched from Unicel (a now defunct GSM cell company) to Verizon there was a noticeable drop in quality.
Well, one thing I know for sure is Verizon's data sucks. They have great coverage, yeah, but half the time pages just won't load. With full bars of 4G.
[QUOTE=Dr. Evilcop;50937089]I live in the suburban greater LA area in a city with a population of nearly 200,000 and I still only get like two fucking bars with AT&T.
the best available internet service in my area is also only 60/4[/QUOTE]
I typically get pretty strong LTE coverage in the Toronto area. I mean it is the largest city in Toronto with millions living in the surrounding area so it makes sense for Rogers to throw money on towers and service here. Even the rural areas can get LTE which feels weird because the Internet is faster in a forest in the middle of nowhere vs. my own home. At my home alone, I can get full bars of LTE which is also surprising since LTE's wall penetration is shit. Just did a speedtest and it's 40/35 at home. Best I ever tested was 125/20 in a mall almost 2 years ago. Best internet service in my area seems to be from Rogers, my current ISP, Bell, seems to only have 50/10 for my location. I can probably get gigabit because there's businesses nearby that obviously use gigabit. Just gotta dig my own trench.
The two big carriers, Rogers and Bell, launched VoLTE in select areas which only works for select phones. Otherwise, you get 3G when you get a phone call. The worst call quality I've ever had was getting a call from someone using Wind Mobile, a discount carrier that only has HSPA+ coverage. It's like T-Mobile but much worse in terms of service coverage and data speeds, but it does have roaming options so you can roam anywhere. Historically it has been terrible, especially in downtown Toronto, but for the much lower price, it is a worthy trade-off for the millions of subscribers they currently have.

That's the ironic part, as far as I can tell, 4G coverage is fine. :v: Usually get at least 2 mbps down even in fuck nowhere's ville on the local tower 7 miles away. Its enough to shitpost on Facepunch/reddit and Google Music so I can't complain.
Its just voice calls that are absolutely atrocious.
But now that AT&T is actually competitive out here, I might be willing to give them a try.

In my case, I have a pretty fun hearing loss.
Does anyone know where in the UK I can find a 16.5V 2A laptop power supply? Or something close enough? I have a Zenith Data Systems laptop I want to get running again and I don't have a power supply and it's like £40 to get one on eBay from the US.

I mean its just statistically speaking you're far more likely to lose all your data in a massive unrecoverable RAID failure since more are likely to fail at once.

I think these can last a year or two though. That's about my time frame when I'm going to upgrade all 22 to 8TBs and sell the 4's, and I'll batch it out a little more then.
