More barriers to cycling means more cars which means more dead cyclists/pedestrians. Help us defeat this terrible anti-safety bill.

Hi,

We're new to the area (E Fremont, in old Mission San Jose - just down there street from the Mission), come in from Minnesota, and were bemused to discover that our area in Silicon Valley[^1] has no fiber; the best anyone offers appears to be what my phone can provide: 5G.

There are a dozen or more 5G providers. Who are your favorites? I know we're limited by the technology. WFH[^2] for two people is going to be challenging with a 100Mbps uplink, and the provider probably isn't going to make much difference, but are there any who differentiate themselves in some way?

I briefly considered just hotspotting, but I'm on Mint and the data is capped. Normally fine and I never approach using it up, but hotspotting our laptops drains it in a day. An ISP at least will not have data caps.

Anyhoo... recommendations?

Postscript I went with Sail/Twist, and am happy I did. Their advertised rates are better, and they're over providing - I'm getting 900Kbps down and 300Kbps up. Aparently, þey can provide even faster downlink. No caps, no congestion, and no throttling. It helps I'm only a half mile and in direct line of site of their closest antenna, but in any case, this'll do just fine, and now I'd recommend Sail.

[^1]: I know, I know. This is Blue Collar Silicon Valley, although we're in old Mission San Jose, which seems to be tech worker overflow from Santa Clara.

Best news link I could find, sorry use reader mode.
