@paoloredaelli the connection before my first fast (1Mbps) connection was a 33.6k modem. I remember being jazzed that I could download at 3kB/sec when I upgraded to it.

@signalapp i need to be able to add more devices. i have two ipads, three computers at one of my homes, and two computers at another of my homes. it would also be nice to be able to add my other phone to my main signal account (and not have it be a different account because it's a phone and not an ipad)

i am downloading from the internet at 200 megabytes per second.

my first fast connection, i could download at almost 70 kilobytes per second (almost half a megabit) and it blew my mind.

the canada/mexico iphone i bought (because i need a sim card slot) doesn't speak the 5g bands used in the usa. if i get the one that speaks the 5g bands in the usa, i can't use my german sim card because those don't have sim slots. cool.
