Do you not have 98% high speed 5G coverage?
- ihattendorf 4mo agoData caps make that hard. While everyone likes to claim unlimited data, I'm not aware of any providers that don't have a heavy data user clause where they'll deprioritize your data if you're a top ~5% data user (usually somewhere over ~1TB/month). You also will need _some_ sort of encoding locally before uploading, even if it's minimal, which could lead to issues when encoded again (although there are codecs available to minimize this).
- Forgeties79 4mo agoJust over half the world’s smartphone users do (meaning almost half don’t), and certain countries/areas have way more coverage than others. And a massive number of people have limited data per month, which means it’s also a cost concern. Leaner delivery is not just ethical, but it also makes better business sense.
