Or maybe it’s so good there that we have no idea how bad it actually is out here 🙂

My only experience is with more exotic countries. We had a customer from Egypt 🇪🇬 and the connectivity anywhere outside of Egypt was not good. We made it with an EU based Azure in the end (the US worked much worse for them) but still image uploads etc. were not so great in Egypt. This was something else than Discourse, therefore we needed Azure.

Aren’t you sitting on a transatlantic optical cable out there 🇫🇮?
