Any of you tech savvy people?

There are some brand new screen setups that do that. Kinda blew my mind.

USB C / Thunderbolt are "daisy chain" connections for Monitors & other devices now

Man, I wish I was a lil smarter on this stuff. She works for the gubberment and these are the systems they use. It is just 2 monitors, but the cable on monitor #1 will not fit into the tower plug....but it will fit the plug on Monitor #2. Then Monitor #2 has a cable that goes out with a black box in line on it that plugs into tower. She then has a headset that she takes calls on and the monitors have customers information.

She is gonna do a speed test when she gets in later and see what it is.

Thanks for your help folks!

T-mobile does offer a home based internet, it runs off a box they provide that uses the cell towers. So i just looked it up. The device is 5g & has wifif, & 2 ethernet ports. $50 a month if avaliable in the area. Here is the t-mobile website link

So how fast is this T Mobile? Like my Xfinity when I do a test is 234 Mbps......wonder how T Mobile would compare to that?

cellular based systems are dependent on signal strength. Expect 10-50mbps.

The downside is you are limited to how much data you can consume per month. After you hit your data cap, they either start charging you extra for every x mbits or throttle the speed down to DSL speeds.

Supposedly t-mobile is not capping the home internet. At least it is a 5g device so service should be decent.

Cool. So long as she doesnt live in a situation we used to be in... In the middle of 3 cell towers, each a LIIIIIIIITLE too far away. 1 bar in the house at all times at best. To the point my office had to provide a PicoCell... a network device that emulated a cell tower and used the internet to route the calls.

Now we have a tower 1/2 mile away line of sight and ive got between 2 and full depending on where I am in the house.

FTTH (Fiber to the house) is far superior to any cable company offering. You typically get an upload speed equal to your download speed and latency in the <10ms range. Cable can match or exceed download bandwidth but can't touch the upload bandwidth or latency. I believe the new bottom tier fiber package is 300/300Mbps for ~$45/month.

I had verizon fiber when I was in Los Angeles. My upload was faster than my buddy in Detroit had for download! Was awesome for photography and uploading images to the lab.
