    Default Moved and my internet is SH&$!

    Hi ladies so I've been camming for years but this past year I moved to the country and we only have one service provider, century Link and they only offer up to 10mbps internet speed in my area. So I've attempted to cam but I always get guys complaining I look blurred or pixelated and I have an excellent computer i7 and webcam c930e. So I know it's the internet but I was wondering if there is any other option for me to make this work? They are the only provider in my town. My speed test results Ping is 105 and upload is 0.58 hardwired is there any other option when there's only one internet available?

    Had this happen went from 1000mbps with xfinity to 7mbps with century link. Have to be hardwired but I don't really have a fix just hang in there you'll get traffic I'm still on page one so you should be a bit better off if hardwired and using smconnect (doesn't seem to affect placement). My current upload is .65 and download is 6. ping is 35. It sucks like hell but not much can be done unless xfinity is willing to add a line in your area (quoted a thousand for a few hundred feet here).

    I used to cam occasionally in the middle of nowhere. I had to purchase both an ATT and Verison portable internet hotspot. I would load up one hotspot with 100 bucks and it'd last me a few days. I had two because somedays ATT didn't feel like working or visa versa.

    Honestly though, hotspots, hardwired connections, travel camming, are NOT long term viable solutions. You're throwing away thousands and thousands of dollars a year with this decision. I'm really suprised you didn't looking into the internet issue first?

    Your ping is bad and upload is terrible but you already know that. Internet providers can't do much if you live in the middle of nowhere.
    Always check what upload you can get before moving anywhere.

    This was me last week. I'm in an airbnb whilst apartment hunting and the internet is horrid but just for one more month. My temporary fixes are to try and get a high mobile package and use your mobile hotspot to stream from. It'll eat up data and you'll need a refill maybe every 7 days but at least you can stream fast.

    I went from around 6/0.7up and bought 20GB (roughly 20-40h of streaming) package and its 46/40. If I just use my mobile data strictly for cam, and use wifi for everything else I can probably get 30h in which is decent for $15. Try tethering. This is my go to until I can get a fast monthly package. If you have unlimited data you hit the lotto and will probably still have a decent upload speed. I'll be in my rental

    Thank you ladies for the tips. so initially I had to take this chance to move into this home because it was for low-income housing and there was no way I can give up on this opportunity when I was already struggling financially due to a disability, so when I called CenturyLink prior to moving which I did many times the only thing they focus on is download speed, there was really no way of me running a speed test if I didn't have the internet setup at the home yet when I saw it. So basically my plan is hopefully to move when I get my income taxes next year but I guess I just wanted to know if there were any options to my situation not really needing a "you're so dumb how could you not check before moving!" Judgement . I had to move to save money on rent. So that's that, I'm just trying to figure out how to make the best of my situation and yes I'm already focusing on making content but I didn't know if anyone had tips to make my streaming a Little faster. Thanks ladies.

    Thank you Kourtney, so when you say hi mobile package is this just a package already included in my regular Mobile plan? I have TMobile unlimited? Thanks

    CenturyLink is trash. But at least when I had them many years ago I was able to get an upload of 2 Mbps. Maybe if you get a newer ethernet cable you'll be able to max out your upload speed? I just went to their website and it kept recommending the $45 package? And that was for a major city.

    Pdanet + FoxFi are two apps you can put on your phone. These will allow you to use your mobile date without using the additional hotspot data.

    I was going to post that the rude comments regarding why she didn't check before moving were completely unnecessary. People move for a lot of reasons and while in an ideal world her internet would be great, she had other priorities. I don't have any advice I'm afraid but I don't like seeing that kind of attitude towards someone asking for help and advice.

    Ditto to what you said. As for OP, I get it....my internet is horrible, as I live way out in the middle of nowhere, and they havent brought fiber out here yet, so I get by with ATT...and even at its best, its bullshit. It can be done, I do it and have for a few years BUT I also know I could probably have been making a lot more if i had better internet options. All you can do is make the best of what you have available.

    I feel for you. He to get good internet is all I think about all day long. I'm leaving to travel cam in 2 days and my Airbnb account was closed..I still don't know why I never had any problems anywhere!...so I'm using vbro and other vacation rental sites but they made fuking $$$ I also have 3 pets so I'm a hot cam mess. I've done cheap hotels mixed with pricier rentals for a few nights and just cam my ass off when I get good internet. Some hotels are ok and I'm learning as I go. It's a challenge but the love of the open road is too strong. I do PSO as much as possible and hope to get to the point of $100 a day on so alone. Until then it's am and imlive....good luck to all the travel ladies! Btw..I'm going to start a website just about travel camming for our industry. I want to make money off it but not sure how. I want it to be a resource of places to stay and of course internet info. What do u all think?

    Thank you I appreciate that and everyone's responses I guess all I can do is make the best of it and try out the hotspots and see if that helps a bit.
