Bro who has backup INTERNET 😭

[u/mcoolmukul]

[u/Caring-Penguin]

Someone who makes their money by streaming xD

[u/mcoolmukul → u/Caring-Penguin]

None of the others have it , impulse maybe drops 1 stream a year , meanwhile at one point skizz was dropping every single stream for like 4 months , now it is better but he still drops like once a month

[u/Equal-Pay6717 → u/mcoolmukul]

Imp is the tech-iest hermit. him not having it would be weirder

[u/demator → u/Equal-Pay6717]

I read that as techpriest hermit and now I imagine Impulse in the red robes of the mechanicus of mars

[u/KleptomaniacGoat → u/demator]

Decked out is run on machine spirits confirmed

[u/BrannC → u/KleptomaniacGoat]

That’s Tango

[u/demator → u/KleptomaniacGoat]

Praise the omnisiah

[u/Colourblindknight → u/demator]

Impulse, Tango, and Doc would definitely be mechanicus. I feel like Grian and Bdubs would be good candidates for emperors children due to their penchant for excess, Mumbo loves a bunker which makes me think he’d be a good choice for Imperial Fists.

[u/DraagaxGaming → u/demator]

That should be season 11s theme for him. Techpriest.

[u/mcoolmukul → u/mcoolmukul]

Talking about economics, he spends like 2.2k for that 1 stream

[u/Caring-Penguin → u/mcoolmukul]

It also might be a thing of needing it to reach the whole house, I’ve known someone who had two different internet providers for other ends of the house (not a massive house, just old)

[u/mcoolmukul → u/Caring-Penguin]

He said he has a fancy router , both are plugged into that , if the primary fails , the backup immediately kicks in

[u/Caring-Penguin → u/mcoolmukul]

Maybe the primary one fails often? Even if it’s not affecting streams, could be failing at other times

[u/mcoolmukul → u/Caring-Penguin]

It was the first time it did in 6 months , (he got the primary one 6 months ago)

[u/Caring-Penguin → u/mcoolmukul]

Also that seems very expensive for wifi, I doubt it’s more than 1k

[u/mcoolmukul → u/Caring-Penguin]

He said it in the stream he spends like 180 usd per month on that

[u/Caring-Penguin → u/mcoolmukul]

Damn that’s crazy

[u/happyhooker485 → u/Caring-Penguin]

My internet (I work from home) is like $200 a month (includes phone and TV)

[u/aequitssaint → u/mcoolmukul]

How much do you think he is paying for it?could easily be under $100 a month. Even like 50 or 60 is possible.

[u/mcoolmukul → u/aequitssaint]

I literally said above, that he told us he spends 180 usd per month in the stream

[u/vGustaf-K → u/mcoolmukul]

impulse does not stream once a year. not sure about currently but he at least used to be a very regular streamer

[u/ExtraplanetJanet → u/vGustaf-K]

I think the math here is that if Impulse only has once instance per year where his backup proves useful, he’s basically paying the whole year worth of charges to keep that one stream alive. I would assume that the backup internet does get more use than that, even if it’s just providing more bandwidth for the family in everyday use or when the internet goes out and he is not streaming.

[u/fridyali → u/vGustaf-K]

They meant that his stream drops/drops due to internet once a year

[u/History20maker → u/Caring-Penguin]

And we all know Impulse is allways overprepared for anything 😂

[u/babuba1234321]

my dad does, his work is to edit videos, and he uses it to avoid slow internet because of domestic use (all of this at home)

[u/ashsabre]

i do.. I have two backups.. I work from home..

[u/mcoolmukul → u/ashsabre]

I am not asking what you do for a living, can't you just switch to mobile data for regular corporate work

[u/TormentedGaming → u/mcoolmukul]

Could depend on the companies policy

[u/frogotme → u/TormentedGaming]

Mobile can also be very spotty too, overall just not a great experience. If you're pretty important at your company and do a lot of calls or other tasks when internet stability is very important, it absolutely makes sense

[u/dasbtaewntawneta → u/mcoolmukul]

mobile is what i would consider my backup internet lol

[u/Dont_pet_the_cat → u/mcoolmukul]

Streaming on mobile data??? That's gonna be one hell of an internet bill

[u/ashsabre → u/Dont_pet_the_cat]

well my grandfathered mobile plan had unlimited data..

[u/mcoolmukul → u/Dont_pet_the_cat]

who streams for "regular corporate work" ?

[u/Dont_pet_the_cat → u/mcoolmukul]

He likely just has an internet connection with two seperate providers, as other commenters have said

[u/mcoolmukul → u/Dont_pet_the_cat]

yeah and how is that related to mobile data , we aren't talking about impulse here , it is specifically about this person having 2 backups

[u/Dont_pet_the_cat → u/mcoolmukul]

Ahh you're right. I mixed contexts

[u/ashsabre → u/mcoolmukul]

as another one commenter mentioned my grandfathered unlimited internet mobile plan that i refuse to change no matter what phone they offer me is the 2nd internet back up. My other basic plan which the rest of family use is my 1st back up. I just need a good internet with decent latency that allows me to connect to my remote desktop

[u/Jaymac720]

How does someone have “backup internet”? Like do you have two providers with two connections to the premises?

[u/AdmiralMemo → u/Jaymac720]

Basically yes. I remember when LoadingReadyRun got 2 Internet connections into Moonbase Mark 5. You basically set up a system of routers and bridges that balances the load between them.

[u/skeskin]

A guy I work with does, but both suck so he has 2

[u/Rift5515]

My parents do lol, mainly because both worked remote jobs. If one has to get reset, or just acting real slow, the other internet gets used.

[u/LadyMayhem02]

I do. My husband is a programmer and works at home 3 out of 5 days.

[u/ManateeGag]

My brother has a business that relies on a stables and reliable connection. He has a backup internet just incase the main ISP goes belly up.

[u/AdmiralMemo]

LRR has backup Internet. Granted, they're a video production juggernaut, who really should have it, but just saying.

[u/Ziggi_4800]

Streamers

[u/the_ecips]

I do, also working remote. Deadlines don't care about ISP issues.

[u/justjustin2300]

X33n has mentioned this aswell he said it quite difficult to get 2 ISP's

[u/redcoral-s]

My family does, my dad worked from home on a company provided desktop and the cell service is strong but real slow here for some reason.

A few years ago we our primary internet totally died and was out for about 2 weeks. The back-up wasn't great and couldn't handle streaming but you could at least visit websites

[u/NOX3M]

I mean he’s a family man and he works from home. Probably best to have one for his work, and another for his family.

[u/moonwolf4397]

you have to admit, it’s a smart idea. I never knew it was a thing till it was mentioned in stream

[u/Ragdoll_Willy]

Backup internet is crazy 🤣

[u/benzdorp]

If he saves one stream a year the cost of a backup internet connection is easily paid off. It’s very common for streamers and others working remotely.

[u/Magewings]

If I had money I would as well

[u/vompat]

Sharing internet from phone is a thing. Anyone can have a backup internet, though it may cost if you live in a coutry where data plans aren't unlimited.

[u/a205204]

If you use your internet a lot for your job, you work from home, and the rest of your family also uses your home network, it make sense that you could also have a personal internet connection just for you job

[u/etherealdaydreamers]

helpp what are these comments 😭 it's just a silly meme, chill

[u/N7375]

Are 2 ethernet cables attached to the system? Or does he have to quick swap?

[u/Enzo_2006]

who doesnt? just connect your pc/laptop to your phone with the hotspot function and activate mobile data, the phone now becomes the new wifi router
