Local ping is a spectrum as well. For example if you are roaming, your traffic goes from tower to host (local telco) core network, then goes on to service provider (saily) core network before exiting to public internet (two hops). If an exit node is in the same location as a host you would get local ip, but your latency would still be slightly increased due to additional hop from host to service provider. It can be minimized but still not the same as local telco (single hop). The thing is - even with hops in different countries, done correctly, the added latency isn't noticeable if you aren't doing high frequency trading or gaming.
Some travel esim providers use host IMSI ranges to provide local services. This way they eliminate service provider hop (single hop only), but they are unable to build features like virtual location, adblock etc. Cause they don't take over the traffic from telco on the second hop. This makes them an e-commerce for someone else's connectivity, while we want to build way beyond that

@vykintasm @levelsio @Revolut @sailyworld I don’t mean VPNing but actual local connection with proper local ping/latency

I love @revolut's Global eSIM
I just flew from Portugal to Netherlands to Qatar to Singapore and now to Japan and I when I land I'm directly connected again to 5G with the same eSIM I can use anywhere
And it auto renews, so no catch-22 where you run out of data and then can't add data because you don't have data
Not affiliated, but it's just a great product and how connectivity should be by default, global as an eSIM!

Currently it's possible using Virtual location on Saily. I'm routing my traffic through UK while in Lithuania as we speak. There are >100 locations to choose from and we route your traffic through nordvpn servers so websites can't trace you back.
We are also working on getting you local ip by default, a bit more tricky but doable.
Btw most complaints about using HK as an Asian hub are about chatgpt being blocked there so we already rerouting chatgpt traffic to unblock it for all travelers, but if you know some websites that don't work let me know so we can try and reroute them as well

Oh hi! Nice to bump into you. I’m a heavy traveler — constantly switching countries and using eSIMs all over the world. I’ve always wondered: is there a way for an eSIM to appear as a local connection in each country (without routing everything through Hong Kong or other roaming hubs)?
Does this kind of tech already exist or is it in the works? Would love to join any early testing if you’re exploring it!

@levelsio @Revolut It’s 1global.com product. Same as @sailyworld. Nice that’s it’s one esim, not a mess like airalo

Airports are a cell-tower battle arena. If your SIM lists multiple roaming partners at the same priority, your phone usually latches onto the strongest signal on first attach. Pro tip: once you’re at your hotel (or wherever you’ll spend most of your time), toggle airplane mode once to lock in the best local coverage

Since most of you probably are traveling to Thailand for WFA in the next couple of months, here's a connectivity tip: 40 ms latency is better than 400 Mbps speed for your video call.
In Thailand’s busy areas, a mid-band 5G cell might show huge throughput with 80-120 ms loaded latency. A quiet low band LTE cell at 20-40 ms will make Zoom flawless.

Google has an ARPU of around $55/year of their free user. Their distribution consists of Chrome, Android and deal with iOS to be default search engine. In order to effectively compete with Chrome new AI browsers need to be able to spend at least the same on customer acquisition as Google, so $55 for 1 year payback, $110 for 2 etc. Not sure if the math is mathing until some AI company figures how to earn from free users

It’s hard to do one good product. It’s even harder to do two. We hope to grow both these to billion users and continue to create new ones.

Saily's eSIM service is a breeze to set up, and its affordable pricing and worldwide coverage make it an easy choice for travelers and bargain hunters alike. pcmag.com/reviews/saily-…

@koeppelmann @dmihal Why don’t current frontend wallets don’t have batched transactions? Sounds like a an easy feature to develop
English

@dmihal IMO most ERC20 problems are not that bad (e.g. approval -> transfer_from) once you can assume the user uses a smart contract account that can do batched transactions.

@TechnoTartary @GeneralSkarr_ @NordVPN I’m the one who came up with the name lol so I’m curious. But yeah damage control
English

@TechnoTartary @GeneralSkarr_ @NordVPN Look into Google Trends, the volume for meshnet keyword is non-existent. It was before our launch and it is afterwards
English

@TechnoTartary @GeneralSkarr_ @NordVPN We already have NordLynx, would be too similar. Also it’s a mesh bot link so not so relevant. Why aren’t you blaming Google for showing you irrelevant results?
