Thumbs down

We moved to Woodway recently, with ATT, and the service was unusable in the house. We switched to Consumer Cellular for half the money and it's much better, although it's had its moments, too. But what I really like about them is they answer the phone and you can talk to an actual human!

For instance, the service dropped off a couple of weeks ago to AT&T levels, so I called to see what was going on. I was talking to a human speaking actual English without some indecipherable accent within a minute. I learned that the network (t-mobile) was installing a new tower for 5g, and for some unknown reason that confused the phones. She did something and then had us reboot our phones. It solved the problem.

By the way, we upgraded our phones when we changed, to Moto 5g phones for $250/apiece. They're great -- best phones we've ever had. But I still haven't figured out what's so great about 5g. Whatever it is, we've got it.
