This was one of the first mobile phones I had: the Siemens C25. Maybe the second, actually. I can't remember.
@matt
My first was a Phillips Diga!
Erst das Gemüsesüppchen.
Today, knowing I'd be in a place with less-than-excellent connectivity, I came prepared. I brought two MikroTik 4G routers with me (one, an old friend; the other, new and ready to be tested). I also have my smartphone with two SIM cards from two different mobile providers.
I noticed something extremely curious: the fixed FTTC connection sometimes has extremely strong drops or speed reductions (from 100 mbit/sec to 1 or 2). Knowing this, I brought the 4G routers on purpose to compensate. But I realized that when the FTTC connection fails, all four mobile providers also fail. The phenomenon is therefore correlated. This leads me to believe that, not being in a big city, there is a single (or multiple, but malfunctioning) point of connection that all providers, both fixed and mobile, connect to.
Note for the future: don't trust the mobile providers here.
@stefano i had a similar experience in our house in Umbria this year. It's in a rural area with no cabled Internet at all. So i came well prepared, bringing with me an LTE-Fritzbox and huge external antennas from Germany (tested there prior leaving). All i got was 1-2 Mbit down, but 15 Mbit upload speed. This told me, the service (TIM) was seriously overbooked. I do get >200 Mbit down on 5G in the near city. But not on LTE in our village.
I bit the bullet and got Eolo which works nicely so far.
The whole way I thought about being #neurodivergent changed when I realized that neurotypical didn't mean normal or healthy, and wasn't the baseline from which other, inferior neurotypes diverged. It's just another neurotype that happens to be the most common one, so it dominates and almost always gets its way.
As a queer person who grew up in straight society, it was easy for me to understand that one type being more common means nothing about it being better than another. Start from there, and it's easier to see our differences as just differences, instead of seeing differences as deficits or impairments.

Le mec, il vise une journaliste et une humouriste (car elles ont critiqué les antivax) et un mec de LFI (au hasard, on s'en fout tant qu'il était de LFI, c'était pas perso) avec des dispositifs explosifs...
Au passage, le mec était pas du coin mais il avait quand même leurs adresses...
Voilà où nous mène le confusionnisme...
(et ça fait pas vraiment broncher les médias, t'as vu...)

Every so often, I'll pull up an old post that did fairly well and then I'll edit it and replace the text with some of the ALF erotic fan fiction that I wrote in middle school just to make the people who liked it look like they're really into that shit.
@Alice Queen shit right here 👆
