Forums > Living in Kunming > Internet Almost Unusable, VPN resetting

I've had good VPN speeds(2-5Mb/s) and connectivity for the past 2 or 3 weeks (at least). China Unicom ADSL, StrongVPN, Green Lake area.

My VOIP system has had issues connecting to the servers back in the US though...Still troubleshooting why.

For what it's worth...The only time we've been refused a ride it at the taxi shift change around 5pm. Probably had about 5 taxis see where I was going and say no, and about 10 others who just waved at me. I was stuck in the North and could not get a ride for me and my two kids back to the Green Lake area. (My wife also had a similar problem around 5pm in the Green Lake area just trying to go to the Carrefour.)

However, after waiting for about 45 minutes, someone picked us up. Otherwise, my experience has been that taxis stop when you hail.

I used Brett's service today to get to the airport. Through a combination of text messages and an email, I requested a 7.30am pickup. He was early. True to his ad, he has a small car that will fit 3 adults and maybe 2 pieces of luggage. He was friendly and spoke very little English. He was a safe driver. I rarely saw him exceed the speed limits and he was cautious. We made it to the airport and he dropped us at the terminal. All in all a good service.

I would use his car service again. The only downside is that his space is limited.
