Non-ordinary connections wide open...Ordinary connections slower

Power lines, tower, and crow
The topic I am pondering today is connections.  My internet connection has become tricky.  I chose mobility over speed and now use a USB 3G AT&T laptop connect device called the Mercury.  When I travel it works well with the 3G signal but here at my usual location there is usually trouble.  This sanctuary is a radio wave dead-zone and that might be considered a non-ordinary connecting 'feature' by some. 

Here in this space I can get a more stable but slower 2G connection which allows me to browse but times out when I am using advanced blogging platforms.  This post is a test of 2G here. 

Or, I can pack up and stroll a few blocks to connect with WIFI (free many places or included with my plan if the WIFI is AT&T).  Today I am amid planning a new strategy and routine, how to best reorganize my work day based around frequent short-distance travels to whereever I can set up shop and use WIFI to get my publishing and writing done - or maybe connect with the Mercury if I can find spacetime coorinates where it can pick up the faster 3G signal better.  I cannot afford both DSL (or cable) and the mobile connection and I must have the ability to connect on the road.  So...

With a name like Mercury, I might have forseen these challenges!  Mercury is a trickster but connects happily and harmoniously while were traveling.
