This is anecdotal but... I recently was traveling. I landed at a new destination and checked the internet speed. Mobile via my tablet just outside the airport was theoretically as 50KB/second via Google speed check. However actually downloading a file from US servers was 5-15KB/second because of the latency (3000ms+) being so high that packets were constantly being dropped. That's at best, 75 seconds waiting for a download. At worst it's 16 minutes. On the other hand, I was able to get Uber on my phone and though it was painfully slow, it found a driver in under 30 seconds. |
