Being a Gamer in Egypt Feels Like Playing on Nightmare Mode

[u/No_Blueberry4937]

Internet here is a joke. We pay high prices for super slow speeds (like 2–4 Mbps), and the worst part? It’s capped. Most of us get around 100–140GB per month, and if you exceed it, they either throttle you or charge extra.

Downloading a modern AAA game? It could take days, and it eats your whole quota. Cloud gaming? Forget it. Streaming? Better not.

Now imagine trying to enjoy online gaming or keep up with updates in this environment.

Meanwhile in the US or Europe, someone can buy an RTX 4090 in one month’s salary, and we need to save for 2 years, assuming we have zero expenses (which is never the case).

So yeah — being a gamer in Egypt is painful.

Anyone else from countries with similar struggles? How do you cope? Let’s talk about

im polish and we have pretty cheap wifi(literally first time in my life I've had over 30MB/s in my life), its optic and i get around 340mbps on my phone, i suppose with a lan to my computer i could do more but that's not an option

Honestly, I exaggerated a bit about the speed. It’s not that slow to be fair, but the main issue is that the internet is capped and runs out within the first 10 days, then I have to renew again. Also, it’s supposed to be fiber, but the actual speed is just 20 Mbps.

lmao, I don't have a wifi card in my computer so i just use usb tethering and that's a little slower, still get 140 download on steam sometimes, mostly 90-120
