    About a month ago, almost the whole city (northern Germany) lost power for about forty minutes. My signal was down to an unusable edge connection. I really don’t know what the rules are

      That Edge connection could’ve been useful if every app and website weren’t loaded with six trillion tracking scripts and 10MB’ worth of JavaScript frameworks.

        Yeah, I’m in Portugal and while it’s true that we still had signal, all I could really use was WhatsApp. Any website I tried to use took way too long to load - just unusable.

        It was too weak to use. It was connected but with no bars. It was probably well outside the city where they still had power
