Amen. I'm personally doing OK here, but I know there's a lot of children in Montgomery County here in southwest Virginia who are struggling to afford enough bandwidth for Zoom for classes. A lot of them live outside the town limits of the two big towns, so they're out of luck for both DSL and cable - and though there's cellphone coverage, if you have 2-3 kids all doing Zoom for several hour a day, you get data-cap throttled pretty early in the month. I suspect, but don't have hard data, that the majority of them would be managing just fine as long as their account didn't have a monthly data cap. > > It might be useful for some of us to crash this.

OpenWRT rocks if you're technologically clued. What would really help adoption is if it sprouted a more Joe Sixpack-friendly UI that made it easy to configure stuff like "Turn off Danny's access at his bedtime at 10, and Joanie's turns off at midnight". I'd volunteer to help, but I know something between diddly and squat about writing UI code - I'm basically a kernel hacker who did a lot of server sysadmin. --==_Exmh_1612106295_361500P Content-Type: application/pgp-signature -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Comment: Exmh version 2.9.0 11/07/2018 iQIVAwUBYBbKNgdmEQWDXROgAQIH3w/+JfgCSPJYfp/wgI/YlOJdqoqohK1L9+vi B90fDiKc0p2egIlDyuBR/0hT6YW1RWWhl0UNRYJfZkAZbfZPJRJ9PB61T8rFCcbi mGUvIN5dpeAP+hdZsSlcvZqaLIkVrCMVi44lXptUD4GtTARmvLB84hWEfCBLqERD EESoZ1TueJGXXJBP9wvIcxLpiSPFTPZLZLJxcbrrzODG0y18e1GhTcXIUfcaiR1b ZdC57TL6kzmrj+fnlAlHZ3DsiDveRzGQ0cDqqTVbo+EOB9XHW1kA3n1LbNoMPmOv xTafoxIPb6hjrTeoJ8zQhkt8m3/EZwKTXveNJghtGkM8YF4uYBgx8lKWqPt4CB4w sis+cLukUcVFW4eFCnCWQpqBvSObzFpji65Y7xXqiDks3mdJ6k/BiSTHSjtqz3qd VrDM+QrwmFX5x6VbMtOKs56hvGpz3bCJ87wZeW4Svn2mQJbP43Ccoz6T7hB5Ek4c fFHo4QNN7WaQh096eMYP6uPb/qLj2bSUNZSOzGhvth/31kuPvoYNlG5gAs+yUYtP DiOraPSEPON8VuYayWBKtszUemr8GYvjxFFqn62Fv3R1JI6blC8LenuMOzhKZZk2 RX9Kk4JKopGUWAkIgv4PsedNDljfYfMBMu4LhMsaxJ7/PIoUqk9dQM7Dh/0+w3zJ nv25wZHKvZI= =uKNp -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- --==_Exmh_1612106295_361500P--
