The long view
365 nights. Let's count them.
A clear Tuesday in summer is an easy night to win. Every connection ever sold wins that one. The question is the other three hundred and sixty-four — the sleet in February, the Sunday everybody's home, the night it matters most. So here's the whole year, one square at a time.
Every square is one evening at your place. Press play to run the year.
Press play to run a year of evenings.
Set your year up and press play.
What went wrong, and when
The log fills in as the year plays.
Play the year, then switch the two above to run the exact same twelve months on a line that never leaves the neighborhood.
What you're actually buying
The price is the easy part to compare.
Two services can cost the same on paper and cost wildly different amounts of your life. Here's what the sticker doesn't say.
The gear you don't go buy
A dish gets you one box and a good-luck. Every dead room after that is a mesh unit you research, buy, mount, and re-buy in three years. Coverage isn't an accessory here — it's the product.
The year you don't spend troubleshooting
Unplug it, wait, plug it back in, run a speed test, search the forum, try again tomorrow. It's twenty minutes here and an hour there, and it adds up to most of a working day.
The drive when it's really broken
Not a chat window. Not a replacement in the post with a tracking number. A person, in a vehicle, who will be at your door and knows the street they're driving to.
