The week my 'perfect' Chiang Mai apartment turned into a 3-day internet blackout zone.
My main client call dropped mid-sentence on Monday, and the provider said a backhoe cut a line, leaving me scrambling to a cafe that kicked people out after two hours, so what's your go-to backup plan for when the local infrastructure completely fails?

Honestly, my backup plan is just a cheap local SIM card with a fat data package.

Yeah, I keep a portable hotspot as my main backup.

Carriers around me have been throttling hotspot data even on "unlimited" plans after like 5GB. Is that something you've run into with your setup or does your provider actually treat hotspot data the same as regular phone data? I ask cause I'm looking at getting a dedicated hotspot device but worried about fine print.
