So I have T-Mobile in a major city. Whenever my ISP goes down, my normally fast 5G slows to a crawl due to the increased load. So it seems like when you need this the most is when youd get the worst performance.

I live in the middle of nowhere up a gigantic mountain with gigabit fibre and have literally never once had an internet outage

WTF is happening in the US that makes outages common?
