I've complained time and again about my horrible Internet. I can never restart it without it going on lockdown for days even up to a week at a time, it's limited to 20GB/month (data isn't as much of an issue now, but I still can't download games), and now it seems ready to fall on its sword.
Today, I left Tezuni's server because I had to eat before my family got home. I disconnected the device (didn't turn it off, just pulled it off so it wouldn't use up data). Later, my brother tried to turn it back on and it completely ignored all connection requests. The device claimed to have 0% battery power (it is never off the charger because if it dies, it won't turn back on) and whenever I hit "connect", it would just go back to the homescreen and ignore the command. Normally, it just tells me it is connecting and I manually have to get back to the homescreen.
Well then it randomly started showing the battery icon indicating that it is charging, but it was still at 0% thirty minutes later. I hit the power button and it connected itself, and I'm posting using that signal.
Device is a Verizon Wireless Jetpack 4G LTE mobile hotspot, and is the only Internet choice I have out in the country since my dad accidentally nailed a fencepost through the dialup cable several years ago. I could always turn on the tethering on my parent's androids, but I'm kind of screwed if they don't leave their phones on chargers all the time or are not home.
