Hello everybody!
Due to the renovation of our home my wife and I have to live in a temporary home for six months. We do not have sufficient internet connection here, and at least for now it seems to be impossible to get one. I am most frustrated for I cannot fly. So, unless something surprising happens before that, I shall be able to fly again with you in the beginning of March -23.
Merry christmas to all of you:D

Oh wow. I can hardly believe that in Finland you still have areas with no internet...Quote:

Below tables compare my pings in WiFi and 4G. As you can see, no significant deterioration:

Isn't it quite common to find places with no internet connection?Quote:

Yes.Quote:

Sweden? Finland? The countries of Ericsson and Nokia? Who ruled cellular telephony? (until Steve Jobs came onto the scene)Quote:

The one and only thing they had forgotten is cable connection to internet! That is what we have in our home and which I will get again in six months.
There might be a chance that the owner of this building would build an antenna on the roof or something like that, but he is not in Finland at the moment. So I will learn more about that later. By the way, I tried to fly with my cellular phone using the 4G and it did not work. The best part of this matter is anyhow, that it will get better in time.
Have a nice sunday!

A cell phone's strong point is not being a router, sure it does work, but ... and there's also the additonal factor that your computer access the phone via wlan (bad!) while "being an access point" is not the strong point of a cell phone, either.Quote:

When you say you are in a shadow area, it sounds like you are talking about cellular phone coverage… Is your internet distributed by radio signals in Finland? Like WiMax? It should be fiber or ADSL over normal phone lines…
To connect your computer directly to your cell phone is not the best solution. Like Artist said it is better to buy a 4G router. They should not be expensive, and you can probably get a shadow sim card linked to your mobile phone account. I think they are called data sim cards.
I live in a remote place in the mountains, in a country that probably has worse internet in the world… and I use such 4G router as a backup line. I place in a place with best reception, and connect my computer over WiFi. I posted the comparison in my previous post, and there is no difference.
Now if the 4G signal is weak, you can get a 4G antenna booster.
Or build one…

OK, I have to concentrate on this better. I am not very familiar with these things. Yesterday we just unpacked the last parcels (or how do you call them). It has taken us (me and my wife) many weeks to sort all the stuff and furniture as well as to move to this temporary place. So next week I will have time to study better what possibilities there are for better internet connection available. Thank you for your advice.
Now I will get some delicious Bratwurst out of oven and have a nice evening - the first of this kind for long time!:D
Catch you later,
Walstein
