Reply to Has anyone else had issues with cell service downtown the past month? From the mall, to rwu, to the train station, I haven’t been able to get service in that triangle. As soon as I’m out of that area, it’s fine by rick_n_snorty

Maybe there's just too many people using their cellphones too close together. All that digital traffic would have to get sent to the same cell towers in the area. Maybe the towers just don't have the bandwidth to keep up?

I don't pass through the area often anymore, so I can't say for certain, but it's not like they have any for-profit libraries or internet-cafes that would call for a conspiracy theory.

Nah RI doesn't want subways, with climate change & storms subway tunnels flood. Like NYC's do & Boston's is always at risk at the Aquarium stop. Are there people in RI who consider how RI should protect against climate change? I read the Army Corp of Engineers is studying if the hurricane barrier can withstand rising ocean.

Idk if you’re on 5G, but I noticed whenever I am connected to 5G, everything loads very slowly or not at all. You can turn off 5G if you have an iPhone, unsure about android. I’m on Verizon though.
