Now that made me laugh out loud. This author must live in a nice bubble to think that.
- a13n 8y agoI was in Seoul last week. I had 400Mb/s on my phone... It's devastating how far behind some first-world countries are in data infrastructure.
- hellofunk 8y agoSeoul is not everywhere. South Korea is quite technologically advanced. Try doing more traveling in SE Asia, you’ll see how bad it can be.
- a13n 8y agoWe actually spent three months in Vietnam, Thailand, and the Philippines and also had a fabulous experience with cell data.
- hellofunk 8y agoYou will typically find cell data to be better than cable or land connections in nearly all the countries you mentioned. But remote developers don't typically work off cell data; your data limit will get hit very quickly. Philippines in particular has terrible internet connections for homes, in general. In fact in many places, cell data is the only data available, there are no land connections.
- mjrbrennan 8y agoI was thinking the same thing, he must not live in Australia where the government has absolutely shattered most people's chances of getting 100MB/s+ cable in the next 10-20 years.
