This is great. But additional and important context is speed. Knowing coverage would be a plus as well.
Slow with mediocre coverage might be inexpensive but that waiting (and swearing?) comes with a cost.
- Scoundreller 6y agoIn Canada, it's the opposite. Due to high prices, the speeds are very fast. But this can also mean that a single poor decision can leave you data less (or rationing) for the rest of the month. Most plans just lock you up until you pay more, rather than continue throttled. Then you have software obviously written by people with zero consideration for data costs. NPR One app thinks it's a great idea to pre-stream hundreds of MB of content. Thanks NPR. Zoom doesn't have any low-bandwidth modes. While iOS lets you enforce a 'low-data mode' when tethering to metered connections, OS X doesn't. Thanks OS X for downloading that update while I was on a train. I was doing my best to ration what I had left by using Lynx for fuck's sake.
