korea's internet isn't number one anymore

2008: Korea first. 2020: thirteenth, behind Singapore, Hong Kong and Iceland. Half the PC bang legends I grew up on were built on that number one spot.

korean comments are mostly mad that prices stayed the same while speed stood still

Same price for a speed that stopped moving is the whole Korean complaint in one line. The 2008 number one was real, but it's become more of a nostalgia trophy by now.

Nobody ranks apartment wifi, which is why 'thirteenth' sounds fancy from where I sit.

German here. Complaining about our internet is basically a national sport, so thirteenth would get a parade.

Rank dropped, bill didn't. That's the part that would have me writing a letter. The rank I'd survive.

Busan wifi still beats anything I had in Australia, so I'm not complaining

7Gaeun2026.10.12

Internet in Paris drops whenever a neighbour runs a microwave, so thirteenth honestly sounds nice
