    Yep it is.

    What some don't get is that bandwidth can be throttled.

    So much for watching 'the big game' in BFE Iowa when you have no data available.

    Fear not. 5g is starting to roll out. Although you'll need a new phone to handle it. And as of right now. I'm only aware of 1 model that's capable currently.

    5g is a short distance system, 4g won't be replaced any time soon and 5g needs relays so many feet. With the question of it possibly being a concern for health, RF exposure and such, I don't think it will win a lot of people over when they realize the hype has a high cost to it.

    But, my TV is in the cabinet behind the passenger seat. If i put a small shaving mirror on the dash and angle it just right, i can watch TV while driving down the road. Of course the titles and onscreen printing are reversed, but that doesn't matter. So i don't have to miss any Judge Judy or Jerry Springer shows.

    Whatever you do, do not go to www.chaturbate.com that web site is full of crystal clear amateur porn with beautiful women, that site will challenge your morality.

    Better off getting an unlimited data phone plan and then tethering it to another device.

    Exactly what I do with my Kindle.

    Not true. For the first few years, you could change receivers one a year for $35.00. Then they went to a three time limit and the fee went to $75.00. If the unit dies and you use the so called tech support, you can get the switch done free a time or two.

    If you had it activated on the stock installed radio, the unit can be taken out and put in the new truck. Internationals, freightliner and Pete’s all have the same connectors for the radio. Same radio, three trucks.
