| 6th July 2010: How IS 3rd World Wifi Better Than European Wifi? Ok, so, lots to blog. I am at my hotel in Honduras. The country is amazing. Still adjusting to the climate, but that should only take until today. But I have one major, major issue I need to make. Honduras is a 3rd world country. All their cabling is overground, which leads to my geek dream of being able to see where everything goes. My girlfriend says it is ugly, I think it's beautiful. I digress. The hotel has wifi. Nothing strange there, I specifically wanted a hotel with wifi. But how is it that a country with nothing can do wifi properly? I am serious. They have it set up properly, SSIDs seperated by floor, multiple aerials, central location of the router. It's not rocket science. Ok, so it's less than 1mbps, but it works. And it's consistent. Now, take the wifi I used in Germany in my hotel room. Germany, a country with more power and money than Solomon. The wifi didn't work because it had two aerials, both pointed at the ceiling, resulting in crap wifi. The router was not in the middle of the floor, and the SSID was the same on every floor. Result? Confusion for any device trying to connect to the wifi. This is the 21st century. Free wifi is not a luxuary any more in hotels. It is standard. Working wifi is standard. I've yet to see a better implementation of wifi than in Honduras. It's everywhere. And this is a 3rd world country. The streets are screwed, everything is screwed, but you know what? They look after people here. And the room is amazing. I have two rooms, one office and one bedroom. Both with beds. The bedroom has a widescreen tv with cable. Not hotel cable, cable cable. Never seen that before. Permalink |
