> The internet is lousy in Turkey

Um, what? I just signed up for fiber in Istanbul, lowest plan, 25mbit, at dirt cheap $11 a month — unmetered. Meanwhile my San Francisco apartment, Comcast charges me $67 a month for a 50mbit capped one.

While there is some variance in availability (just like any other country) Turkish infrastructure is generally first-world. It is for political reasons that it gets demoted into the second, but ultimately we’re talking about a place with a $25k~ GDP PPP per person [1]. That’s more than Greece’s, and climbing towards Italy’s.
