Gina's journey

Thanks all for letting me rant about the hate. I try not to let that enter into my conversation.
  Here in WV the natural gas industry is crazy. There are gas lines strewn about like spaghetti in some places. Some active, others empty. Real scary part is those that run/own them have no idea where stuff is. When pressure in the line gets low they walk through the woods, and follow their nose to the leak. Last summer the road dept. was mowing along side the lane and cut into one. No fire luckily.
  Today we are getting FIOS. Its supposed to be better than the Star Link that I currently have. We shall see. As we use that for our cell phones too, its important for us to have a good internet. My phone now will do a dump of messages all at once and pictures come later than the messages sent with them. I am hopping for better service. Another problem I have, and maybe someone has a suggestion. I do get an occasional very weak cell signal which tricks my phone into going cellular, which is so poor it cannot work properly. How can I get the phone to stay on internet while at home?

If by "staying on the Internet" you mean WiFi?
You can shut off cellular data on your telephone.  Go to settings, cellular for that.

That will send all data on that telephone line to WiFi, including Web browsing, email, and push notifications.

This is what I do.

You can also set them by app settings. I have some (off-road maps, weather, etc.) that I want to run all the time. I enabled cell data access in those app settings. Everything else is set to wi-fi only.

Thanks ladies, I will try that.
Oh, to the question if the tractor had ropes. Yes but no seat belt, so the rollover protection is not much good.
No flat tires just a bit of a lean on 3 wheels, then a serious wheely going uphill, that the brushhog probably helped keep it from going on over.
Talked to the gas company guy today. Seams that the valve thing in the brush is actually another well, that he was unaware of.

Had FIOS installed at the house yesterday. Hopefully it will remove the blips when things pause, such as the post I posted yesterday that never posted. Supposed to have better latent speed, whatever that means. We will see. Meanwhile we still have Starlink.
