Lightening fried ISP

[rcjordan]

I'm having to use phone browser while the cable company sorta maybe thinks about fixing it.  So NO userscripts and no page-ripping.  This sucks.

Hotspot your phone for your notebook/laptop.

Damn, sorry RC.  Living without a proper internet connection could be tough.

>Hotspot

Good idea.  You may be able to find this on your phone as an option sometimes called tethering.

I never paid Verizon for hotspot service.   ....But I might now if I have to live without filtering & ripping much longer.

I find it hard to believe that -what?- 60% of users access the web via mobile.  This is excruciatingly painful.

[littleman]

To me it is ok for passive stuff, but anything interactive at all and I hate using mobile -- even responding to an email or posting here.

[Drastic]

Damn you still have to pay for hotspot? Its been avail free through verizon mvnos a while now,

[rcjordan]

>pay

It might be free now, I really wouldn't know . I try to keep our interaction with predatory Verizon to a bare minimum.

>interactive stuff

Yeah, and without my scripts & browser extensions I can't cull that crap or process high volumes of pages.

[Drastic]

Might be worth a shot if you are still offline. If it's free it should just work when you enable it.

>scripts & browser extensions

I'm still using your GreaseMonkey filter for NewsNow, and it works great.

Any word from the cable guys, RC?

>cable

They want me to replace the modern.  It's supposed to be here today.

I'll be surprised if that's it, as my neighbors lost access as well.
