I've been having occasional Internet issues over the last few years and was thinking about having a backup ISP.

A lot of people in my town suggest Starlink... And well, I'd rather not have Internet at all!

However, I did recently find these guys: https://www.computers4people.org/shield I'm gonna give these guys a shot.

It's probably not comparable, but no way in hell am I ever signing up for Starlink.

I think that makes a lot of sense, it would be nice if they clarified if you could BYO router. My guess is you can, as long as it has a sim slot, but can't be too sure. Make sure T-Mobile coverage is good in your area first as well
