Hot take: coworking space wifi is actually worse than a decent coffee shop 9 times out of 10

I tested 8 different spots in Chiang Mai last month and the coworking space with the best reviews had download speeds of 12 Mbps while a random cafe around the corner hit 45 Mbps - has anyone else found a specific chain or hotel brand that consistently has solid internet?

Oh I love that photo with the numbers but just a small thing - Chiang Mai usually spells it "Chiang Mai" not "Chiang Mai". Easy mix up though, I've done it myself a bunch. And yeah the random cafe wifi being faster is painfully real.

Ever tried speed testing before you buy? Saves me every time.

Ugh, that's so frustrating. I've had the exact same thing happen in Bali, paid for a "premium" coworking spot and the wifi was way worse than the cafe next door.
