It's the subway where you are that's not designed for apps. On Korean subways I stream video at max res throughout the ride.

- blipvert 3y agoOne of the deep level lines on the London Underground (Jubilee line) has 4G. It’s proved by a “leaky feeder” apparently.
- KptMarchewa 3y agoI know subway in Warsaw does have them.
- belugacat 3y agoThe infrastructure of Asian capitals is the best in the world, that's exactly the point - 99% of the world experiences deteriorated network (see comments in this thread to that point). It's frustrating when software isn't built in ways that are resilient to that.

- pradn 3y agoWe're always going to have situations with intermittent network connections. It's best to design for that from the first. An offline-first experience is good even if you have a good network connection: lower latency (read from disk) and lower energy (the phone radio will be on for less time).
- sharlos201068 3y agoThat comes at the cost of increased unnecessary bandwidth and battery usage though. As a developer I'm much more interested in optimising for that than accommodating a minor improvement to the experience when experiencing connectivity issues.
