The Frustration of a Phone with Low Internet Network 🤦🏾♂️📶
Having a phone with low internet network is a full-time job. First of all, you don’t use your room normally like other human beings. You must discover the corner. Yes, that one special corner where network lives. Once you find it, that corner becomes your bedroom, sitting room, office, and shrine. If you mistakenly move one leg, boom! Network disappears like it never existed.
You’ll be standing there like a statue, hand raised, neck bent, phone up in the air. Anybody entering the room will think you’re being arrested by invisible police. And don’t let rain fall—network will just pack its load and travel.
The worst part is that internet has its own timetable. You can’t use it anytime you like. You have to wait until the network is “less crowded,” like it’s a public bus. So from 10pm to 12am, that’s when your phone suddenly becomes smart. That’s when you start replying messages from 8 hours ago.
Your friend will text you:
“Hey, what’s up?”
You see the message immediately, but replying it? Ah. That’s another struggle. You type “Hi” and it will be loading like it’s writing a novel. By the time the message finally sends, you’ll see: Last seen 2 hours ago. The person has slept, dreamt, and woken up, while your “Hi” is still on a journey.
Sometimes you’ll receive “Are you there?”
You want to reply “Yes,” but network says, “No, you are not.”
Next thing you see: This message was not sent. Retry.
Retry ke? You’ve been retrying since last night!
Low network will humble you. It will teach you patience, discipline, and night browsing. It will turn you into a night watchman of your own phone. At this point, you’re not even asking for fast internet—just internet that won’t embarrass you in front of your friends 😭📱
