I'm ~100ms away from most cloud services on a good day, and I've seen ~4000ms in country areas via 3G. Far too many companies are assuming large bandwidth/low latency connections. I'd like my SD card back, Google. If I've paid the full retail price for a device (often more, I'm in Australia), I expect to own, not rent a device.

> I've seen ~4000ms in country areas via 3G Hell, my municipal (bargain-basement) phone provider here in Canada gives me ~4000ms latency at the best of times. On the other hand, my city is saturated in "free for users of my ISP" wi-fi hotspots that my phone can automatically jump onto. It seems like the latter are going to be the true solution to low-latency mobile connectivity for most of the more "spread out" countries that can't afford to saturate the country in cell towers.
