[ NNSquad ] Strange asymmetry
My hotel (Hilton in Istanbul) offers “business class”
Internet connectivity for 48TL (about $30) which is high but it is 20Mbps down
and 1 or so MBps up. What makes this strange is that there is unlimited down but
up is capped at 250GB. This is strange and I have to wonder what the rational is.
It matters because I wanted to copy my photos and video back to my home system
but it’s about 10GB. Is there any real asymmetry in pricing or is
this a foolish inconsistency? So for now I’m just doing email using my phone. I
bought a 3G SIM card with 1GB of data. It won’t let me copy my photos
either but at least I’m not paying a high daily premium for little
marginal benefit. |
