That's cool and all but it was a regional problem on their end, I learned after trying the whatsapp bot, which worked way better than the phone piece of shit.
I actually had a pretty godawful hardware provided by the ISP years before, that I just killed in salt water and said it wasn't working, then I got a new one from them that actually had a good wi-fi range :).
You know you didn't have to commit modemacide. You could have actually just asked for new hardware.
They refused, I did what I had to do :)
What happens when whatever promotion you are on rolls off and the hardware now costs you $15–20 bucks a month? Owning your hardware makes imo a ton of sense still.
