I live in rural area. If my DSL internet went out, I used to be able to hotspot to my phone and continue basic internet surfing. As of a few years ago, that isn’t possible anymore. I don’t get enough signal to even text reliably.
I can only sms text from my home, mms does not work unless it’s the right time of day and I’m in one of two locations in my house and mercury is in retrograde while. Jupiter is in the fifth house while the fatted lamb is to be slaughtered, then I might be able to send or exeice a handful of mms before my shit goes to hell again and baphomet steals my first born. Luckily wifi calling exists or I’d have to actually pay for a landline
The FCC has coverage maps provided by the big 3, but you can also submit a challenge to their claims to try to make a more accurate map (since they lie their asses off). I’m on mobile, so apologies for the lack of formatting:

I think internet has so much more shit on it to load now so it needs more signal just to get something basic loaded
