in 2011 my family took a weeklong vacay on Lopez Island WA. at that time the cel coverage on the island was spotty. When the state ferry would pass by Lopez Village on the way to Friday we could get about half an hour of data. Otherwise we could go to the island library, where they had terminals (no wifi)
this was PERFECT. The absolutely peak perfection of connectivity. We could *go to* the internet, and then we could kind of put it away
