      I always wonder why people these days care

      Don't wonder - you know why.
      First category : you can give kids unlimited bandwidth, they will still burn it. New social media (toktok, istagram etc) video gaming and streaming.
      These days, parental control over the data carrier consumption is possible. Data over wifi is lest controllable, so kids go for wifi.

      Another category : "local wifi" doesn't need a phone-of-the-company device. Close to 90 % of all our clients are visiting our hotel for professional reasons. They don't care about de local castle from the 14 century.

      Our 4G/5G is a rural setup : no micro cell technology : the operators just want to show their name and 4G or even 5G on the customers phone's display. When the customers actually use the data carrier, they find out quickly that commercial promises are probably valid in high density cities, not where they are now, 'lost in the middle of France' in a rural area.

      edit : another group : not everybody knows that phones with a data connection can share that connection, using the phone as an AP. As most people have a phone, pad and portable PC, only the phone will use the 4G, the other devices have to use the local wifi.

      No "help me" PM's please. Use the forum, the community will thank you.
      Edit : and where are the logs ??

        heheh - I don't know when I was on business trips my favorite part was taking in the local history and stuff to do. This was mostly the local tavern ;) But still - hehehe

        I spent a bit of time in Tulle on multiple occasions.. I had a couple of fav watering holes there.. One of my favorite spots was a little place tucked away on a side street, loved to sit outside and just watch the people going about their business and enjoy a few beers..

        It was across from the cathedral there, and believe that was from the 14th century ;)

        An intelligent man is sometimes forced to be drunk to spend time with his fools
        If you get confused: Listen to the Music Play
        Please don't Chat/PM me for help, unless mod related
