Internet Speed
I don’t know from where you get internet speed numbers but I can see they are not accurate at all! for example I currently live in Dubai for more than 2 years, the website mentions internet speed is average 30MB, in my home my Wifi connection is 800MB, and on cellular data in most areas I get at least 350MB and in good coverage area it gets up to 1000MB, so please consider either choosing more accurate source, or having input from users who actually live there. Thank you.

Your internet speed is wrong, my city/country gets much faster speeds
Internet speeds on Nomads.com are shown as averages of all internet devices like desktop PCs, laptops and smartphones. Yes, maybe you can get 250Mbps in your city. But that's not the average, that's the theoretical maximum as advertised. Remote workers don't care about theoretical maximums, we care about what the speed will realistically be in our hotel, Airbnb, cafe or coworking when we arrive in a city. Which is usually 10 to 50 times lower than telecom companies advertise with.
We use data from internet speed testing websites, internet service providers, public internet speed data sets, as well as measuring internet speed of users on Nomads.com itself. That means for most cities we have hundreds of thousands samples from hundreds of sources to analyze.
