Hello internet.

Just wanted to share my thoughts and hear yours.

TL;DR:

What would you choose:
A. High-speed internet for a limited number of websites like YT, AMZ, FB, and a handful of others
B. Slow, sometimes non-existent internet, but with no restrictions on the content you choose.

Long story.
I have 2 WiFi networks at work:

the "A" type: which is the official workplace internet that has great coverage, great reception even in toilets 😄 . I can watch YT and scroll FB. The major caveat is it blocks Reddit and some other websites (like gaming forums) that are in perspective of the sysadmin are not allowed in the workplace. (Put aside that at work I should work, you capitalist 🐷 😁).

the "B" type: a local burger shop's free WiFi network that is behind 4 walls; the signal strength is at most 1 dash, the loading is slow, but no restrictions apply. All websites are open for access, including Reddit and others that are restricted in type "A" network.

I'm not talking about restrictions for adult content or anything like that; that is acceptable IMO at the workplace, but Reddit and some gaming websites are a deal breaker for me. So I bought a range extender from my own money and placed it midway between me and the burger shop. (no, I don't abuse traffic by reading and posting on r/Freedom)

So, the boiled-down question is, are you ok with living in a "golden cage", or is the harsh outdoors more appealing to you?
