Did you use a local SIM?
Maybe is your network/roaming data plan. Some(most) networks throttle/restrict your bandwidth when in you are in roaming.
- jonpurdy 6y agoFormerly in telecom infrastructure; this is correct. Due to the way roaming works, pre-LTE you’d be routed back to your home country while roaming (still the same way on LTE depending on network config).

Could also be their phone, different regions use different LTE bands which often do not overlap at all, so if their phone is a US-only model it may only support US bands leading to dreadful connectivity even when the network itself is excellent. And even when there are overlapping bands, those may only be used by some operators, so depending who you're roaming with you might still be hosed.
