Show HN: Where is the Fastest Internet (At?)
- benguild 9y agoHey guys, so I pitched this idea a week ago at Startup Weekend Tokyo "Travel Edition" and people thought it was pretty cool. Built a prototype and demo'ed it, then decided "why not release this" and bought a domain name! A little HTML/CSS, and ta-da. Hope you dig. If you think there are some cool ideas here and want to see more, let me know in the comments!
- ship_it 9y agoI don't get this. Is this the list of countries with fastest internet connections? In that case, your website data is wrong. Afaik, various sources from early 2017 says that South Korea currently have the fastest network connection availability, while your website says it's in New York. Also, no Romania in Europe list while it definitely have +/- same network connection like Latvia which is also in top 5.
- benguild 9y agoTry searching for "Romania" or clicking "Load More" to show more cities. We're sorting based on availability of fast networks, not just peak speeds. Seoul is a larger city than NYC so it probably ranks lower at the moment, but the data could change as more spots are logged.
- benguild 9y agoI wrote a bit more about it here: https://medium.com/@cafewifi/where-is-the-fastest-internet-at-35194487deb2 https://medium.com/@cafewifi/where-is-the-fastest-internet-a... Also, I centered the "Load More" button to make it easier to spot.
- hathym 9y agowhy the pictures? a simple chart would do the job (better?)
- bradknowles 9y agoSo, you have a speed rating, a dot rating, and a number indicating how many places there are, for each city. What you don't explain for us is how these ratings and numbers are calculated, and whether it's better to have more dots with lower speeds, or higher speeds with lower dots. The blog post helps somewhat, but this should be linked directly from the website, if not also summarized on the website.
