What are your backup plans for an internet and telecom shutdown?

I don’t believe trusting in satilite internet companies (especially one owned by a fascist) are very practical.

Outside of radio and ad-hoc networks however, I’m not sure what other options would be feasible for the average person that wanted to prepare for something like this.

    What are your backup plans for an internet and telecom shutdown?

    We’ve been trying lora based protocols such as disasterradio, meshtastic and reticulum. However, the quality of the available hardware is pretty poor, the price is reaching insane levels, and software stability is not fit for leaving it unattended in remote locations.

    If shit really hit the fan, the standard old wifi gear with directional antenna would be better in reach, bandwidth and stability.
