Not having WIFI or 4G available is also a good reason.
- Aaargh20318 9y ago> Not having WIFI or 4G available is also a good reason. Because WIFI and 4G being down at the same time is a thing that happens ?
- tjoff 9y agoYes, outside cellular coverage there is rarely any wifi coverage either...
- Aaargh20318 9y agoI'm outside of wifi coverage for maybe 30 minutes a day, on my bike ride to/from work and a visit to the supermarket. 3G/4G coverage is practically 100% (actually 99.5%), only when you get close to the national borders there are some white spots because they aren't allowed to broadcast too far over the border and interfere with networks in Germany or Belgium. There actually was a bit of outrage over that last 0.5% a while back due to emergency services not being reachable in those areas and the mobile operators had to make promises to cover those areas as well. So yeah, coverage is pretty much total.
- tjoff 9y agoWell, if your country don't have any sea or mountains or any other remote area I guess that is "nice"... Also, big difference between emergency service and 3/4G suitable for audio streaming.
