Do you have a smartphone?

That relies on wifi which goes out in a power failure.

Bro smartphones still work without wifi. It's called data

By all means shit on me for being poor. Laugh at me for being stuck in Reading. Maybe come over and shoot my dog?

Not at all. There are low cost data options out there. I didn’t have internet at my house for the first year and a half, just used my phone. Would that be an option? Ditching the cable internet (I’d guess Comcast in Reading - I’m just a couple miles outside of the actual city and I’m stuck with them) might be something to consider if you haven’t already.

I would also never hurt a dog much less shoot one. I’m sorry you are in a bad spot now and I hope it does get better for you. I know Cartech is hiring pretty much constantly and the pay is good. Might be worth a look if you need a leg up financially. I apologize for coming off harsh, it was not my intent. I wish you a Merry Christmas and hope things start looking up for you.

I pay Verizon $124 a month for 3.0mbps DSL.
I can't afford heat. Right now, I can't even afford phone service. (Only person I can call is 911)
It takes 20 hours to get to work outside of Reading, so I only work in Reading.
Life is shit and will be over soon as I'm about to be homeless due to Covid.
