Recently installed a 4G backup SIM on my home network for when the actual broadband line is down and I can’t believe I didn’t do this years ago.

Does your broadband go down that often? I was considering it for a while, but realised outages are less than annual. I'd sort of assumed that was similar around the UK 😅

Sadly yes, always for about 1 minute. About once a week. It’s one of those minor annoyances that never makes it to the top of my list of priorities. Several people have said I should talk to my ISP and… blegh. Yes, but blegh.

I was without 1g for a while when I moved and had no estimate for when openreach would come so bought a big antenna thing I stuck to the window to boost the 5g signal, worked really well! Also got an openwrt router that looks like it could summon cthulu
