Earlier quoted context omitted.
I already disable LTE just to avoid Amber alerts. 3G is about 10% slower. Around here, they send all alerts out at the “incoming nuclear missile” level.
You should re enable it. Amber alerts are when a kid has been kidnapped and is probably going to raped or killed. You should do your part to watch for the perpetrator.
The local track record has been pretty awful, including absurd lack of geo targeting, too late, referencing a tiny town that nobody has heard of, lack of useful timestamps (last seen at X, but when?), an early morning “end amber alert” alert and the “no charges, father picks up his son from school all the time, no further details will be released”. I think there have only been 5 alerts, 4 were in the above categories and the last still isn’t clear if the child was in danger.
