Hacker News Reader

I do not regard the parent as cherry picking data at all.

I travel a lot, internet experience varies wildly especially in locations where restrictions are in place. For example typing this on a phone in a coffee shop in China, VPNd as for some non-reason HackerNews is blocked.

1GB in India is pretty cheap+good. A small amount of stupid censorship but otherwise pretty solid.

I lived in Canada for about ten years. It's a ridiculously expensive place in terms of food and internet costs. At the time I was pleased because the best connections we had in India were 1Mbps. When I moved back I was happy to see we had way better internet, digital payments and banking services.

Maybe if you compared the EU to NA, and ME with other ME, and SEA with other SEA you would have less cherry picking going on. Apples to apples.

The internet in MY is pretty different from VN, or even a skip across the border to SG. Not easy to pick a spot on the globe and assume everything in the vicinity is the same. Even ISPs in the US.
