Sadly this means that the poorer countries give the same IP to multiple users. I’ve received a “you’re doing that too much” error after the first google search of the day on my phone in South East Asia. I don’t remember which country
- nucleardog 6y agoThat's not exclusive to poorer countries. Cellular carriers in first world countries aren't assigning a public IPv4 address to every cell phone.
- mdtusz 6y agoI've never really considered this before but it's interesting. Does this happen randomly or is there some geographic/tower based IP sharing?
- Scoundreller 6y agoMy guess is that providers allow higher rate limits on developed country ISP IPs for this reason.
- jayflux 6y agoI’ve had that happen in Europe so I don’t think it’s just poor countries doing that.
