I am here in Bukhara, Uzbekistan, in a LAN house using a dialup connection that gets down every time shared with more 5 other computers.
Do you remember the dial up hell time? This is worse.
OK, the price is as low as the quality: 700 sums per hour. 1276 sums = 1 USD.
I think I’ll write a formal request to Uzbekistan government to change the name of these places from “LAN Houses” to “Shared Dialup Houses”.
