For a sense of the world, I went to Manila in 2018 to find out why there are several distributor can only sent their data weekly.

One of the distributor show me a 64 MB usb flashdisk that’s travelled every week with the delivery truck to get 4 MB of data from their branches (8 hours truck driving from the capital)

Went to Myanmar in 2017. The nation is just upgrading to 4G in 2016. But not every places have 4G coverage

2019 in eastern Indonesia (Seram island) you’re lucky if you can get a reliable 5 KB/s internet. It’s a remote area, but we still have a branch there :(
