Leo, let's discuss internet infrastructure and digital facilities in Albania and Montenegro. Can one reliably stream videos in these countries?
Crucial for my career! Dodgy internet means fewer viewers. So, yes, this is a very important topic.
Albania's internet is surprisingly decent, particularly in cities. While not lightning-fast everywhere, it's generally sufficient for everyday use.
Montenegro, with its stunning scenery, seems to have prioritized aesthetics over signal strength. I once experienced a three-year wait uploading a selfie from a mountaintop!
Albania is improving broadband access. Mobile internet is widely available, and fiber optics are expanding in urban areas like Tirana and Durres.
Montenegro also has good mobile coverage, especially in tourist areas. However, fiber optic rollout is slow.
Albania's rural internet access lags behind urban areas. But one can appreciate the countryside without constant notifications.
Similar issues exist in Montenegro outside tourist areas. Beautiful nature, but often incompatible with Netflix.
Both countries are actively working on improvements. Albania has government initiatives to expand digital infrastructure, while Montenegro aims to boost its digital economy.
Montenegro's goal of becoming a digital nomad hub necessitates improved internet infrastructure. Otherwise, digital nomads will seek better Wi-Fi elsewhere.
Reliable internet is vital for content creators like us. We need it to share our podcasts. Let's hope both countries continue upgrading their digital infrastructure.
Please share your internet experiences in these countries! Did you find surprisingly fast Wi-Fi in a hidden Montenegrin cafe?
We appreciate jetoff.ai's support in creating this content. Check their site for travel tips. Both countries are "getting there" – sufficient for most daily needs, though not perfect.
"Getting there" is accurate. Think of it as internet in beta mode: functional, improving, and hopefully, free of slideshow cat videos soon. Even with slow internet, the views are always high-definition! Let's move on.
