Jeremy didn't want the alarm fitted, but, due to the value of the vehicle, the insurer required Ford to install the immobilizer before he could take delivery of it. It was a finger-pointing game between the insurer, Ford, and the third-party that Ford had contracted to install the immobilizer. Just a total fuster-cluck.

Older cellular tech used more power, with towers fewer and farther between the signal would drop less often, but just be slow overall. You could literally power led light "stickers" that flashed when it rang with old Nokia phones. The point of 4g is more frequent but smaller antennas, so a much weaker but ultimately faster signal with multiple points of connection. It can drop when you lose signal, as the signals are much weaker
