Shitty internet service

Sellers, how do you handle uploading video gigs or anything with uploading something when your country has shitty internet service?

I live in a big metropolitan area in Canada, ultra fast internet.

I was in Europe, traveling across, uploading a video onto youtube.

I went to London and travelled by train, bus and ferry.

Tirana, Priština, Skopje, Bitola and Thessaloniki were the slowest and 3 of 4 of these cities just mentioned are the capitals of their respective countries.

It took me 6 hours to upload a 10 minutes video.

So to sellers that have to upload videos, graphics, audio and so forth for gigs, how do you do it with crappy internet service?

With a lot of swearing. I’m out in the sticks of rural Greece, so yeah.

Swearing in what language? During the trip above, specially in those cities, I was the United Nations of swearing. 😁

Mainly English, but sometimes I like to throw a malaka or gamo tin panagia sou into the mix.

Greece has some lovely swearing, it really does.

My Internet goes down all the time. I have a mobile wifi device on a separate network for emergencies but if my Internet goes down during the day, I just see that as an excuse to go to the bar and use theirs.

I live in a rural area with expensive 3G internet only. I pick gigs that don’t need videos, and if someone wants to send me a 30MB data file, I refuse the order.

In the UK I used to get unlimited 3g for $30 a month. It;s the only thing I miss about the place apart from the mountains in the Scottish Highlands. Everywhere else in the world 3g is crazy expensive.

I dream of unlimited broadband!

I have two internet providers for when one is down.

Always good to have a backup if you can!

I have two as well, as I know my neighbors password–he also knows mine so we just switch to each other’s if one network is being particularly shitty.

It is a satisfactory arrangement.

I have a unlimited broadband service at home, also know my uncle’s password who are our neighbours and have got my own 4g device as well which has 50GB/month for $30. 🤓

Oh, how I wish I could get data that cheap! Well, data prices are steadily dropping over here. We’d get there soon, I hope.

As far as 💩, it does get shitty, alright? When it does, I watch a movie, play a game, or shut my laptop - it’s easier than destroying it.

Meanwhile, I get unlimited data for just $4 a month.

I started using internet @128kbps 8 years ago. Currently I’m using 10mbps in same area. Everything is developing on their own way, internet is one of those.
People from different corner of Earth has the same fate but I think none of them stopped their business and they won’t!

I get unlimited data for just $4 a month.

Which service are you using?

I’ve DSL with unlimited data for $17/month and because of loadsheding I have Evo too for $15/month.

Yes, I use DSL. And my router is on UPS, so it stays functional even when there is a power outage.
