    Nope. I know they do that. This was taken in the parking lot. I am starting to suspect there is something on the roof that is disrupting good cell signal.

      Or maybe the service is degraded because there are thousands of people connecting to the same cell and Verizon can’t justify the $$$ of placing more transceivers/bandwidth in a supermarket placed in the middle of nowhere with zero residents.

      I don’t think Walmart is willing to pay millions in fines from the FCC by installing an illegal 5g jammer because reasons

        You make a couple of good points, however you may want to double check your knowledge of Eastern Massachusetts population densities. I also don’t think Walmart gives two shits about paltry FCC fines, because forcing you into their wifi where you are required to agree to a ridiculous amount of data sharing, is certainly a lucrative proposition for them.

          Life pro tip:

          You can totally anonymously connect to Walmart WiFi…

          [email protected]

          The password is Walmart1

          It’s registered in their system as Anonymous Human

          I set that anonymous “account” up a couple years ago just for my more or less anonymous phone that has never been signed into Google.

          You or anyone else is welcome to use that for Walmart WiFi, fuckem, milk that WiFi!
