I ask cause last night l was out in Popkum and my cell said 4G but for the last several months it was showing 5G yet when l drove to Abby land it was back to 5G.
Any thoughts for those in the know on this subject.?:D
But l heard 5G is only good with line of sight so l'm assuming it's washed out with our mountainous terrain.
Need better placed towers l'm guessing for 5G.

Good riddance. Anyway, 5G is just an excuse for wireless carriers to charge you more for something 99% of people don't need and most probably won't even noticed the difference compared to 4G. That may change in 10 years, who knows.

I'm sure many of you are, as I am, saddened by this morning's news. Any tribute I may pay will fall short in describing the incredible duty, determination, and dignity she displayed over the seventy years she served her people and her office. I am sure those among us have differing persuasions with regards to monarchy or republic. Today, I hope we can set them aside, regardless of personal beliefs, to pay our respects to a great leader and representative of stability, decency, and humility in a world increasingly devoid of these virtues.

May God grant her peace everlasting. God save the King!

A couple of nice tributes. I'm actually a lot more shaken up by this news than I expected to be. It's the end of an era. May she rest in peace.

No worries Glace, your just being a human being with feelings, thanks for sharing pal. I'm 63 Princess Diana's death, queen mother passing, prince Philips passing now the queen.
When it's been a fabric of your life even from a far and then it's gone l can't help being a little choked up as well.

Glad that Trudumb is leaving it up to provinces and territories if they wish to take the 19th off or not for the Queens funeral.
People and businesses can't afford another day off. :thumbup:

We usually have a them in the summer, but this year has been 10 times what I've ever seen before. They are everywhere! with the changing weather that should kill them off however.
