I know this is not exactly the same issue, but it's indicative of the fact that not everything that can be done to get us data is being done.



I mean, look at this: when I first went to Saudi for an A/V job, I ran speedtest.net from the location. This was a home that had been in place for some five or more years. The download speed was about 25 mBps. What's unusual about that? Here's what: speedtest.net identified the local server as being in freakin' GHANA, for God's sake! My customer was getting internet by satellite and it was coming down at 25 mBps!!!!

Did I mention that this was in 2010?
