The infra is generally great, although lately new operators have pushed quality down as they push aggressive pricing and cost savings through dubious lobbying and corner cutting on reliability.

Nowadays some antennas go down right after a power outage because they don't have backup batteries. People also realised that they are quite pricey, so people melting copper lines moved to stealing batteries after the shift to optic fiber. To me this activity is straight out terrorism as it takes down critical infrastructure, I'm generally leftist, but ready to shoot these people on the spot if I actually had a gun.
