Booked a 4-star hotel in xinyi-area, called home hotel. Costs much more than I initially wanted to spend, but didn’t feel comfortable booking a love hotel room. So I took the red pill thanks to myself, booking on short notice.
Now being here, the Internet is not as fast as claimed. I hope it’s not going to be a nightmare. Trying to get a unlimited data card through friend’s friend. When I arrived at the airport, I was instructed here and there, which made my brain going off for a while. Therefore I forgot to get a SIM card from Chungwha Telecom only. And you guessed it, I got a card from a smaller provider that delivers miserable 10Mbps in the middle of Xinyi - yes pretty much next to 101.
Hopefully other people that need stable Internet connection will read all this here before they book anything. Verify what they’re saying by telling them to use fast.com or other websites. Best practise: refresh the website after getting result, just to make sure the speed is consistent.
P.S. Did anyone pay 1500 NTD for the taxi as well? It’s been a while for me, but I think that’s rather on the top of the scale…?
