ISPs say their “excellent customer service” is why users don’t switch providers
  • Most of the ISPs operating in my city's fiber network are reasonably good and the one I've chosen is honestly good, so from my personal point-of-view, that headline seems perfectly relatable.

  • do any of you recommend a particular credit card that benefits travelers?
  • “bank accounts in different countries” is not the same as bank accounts “in any country”.

    Which is exactly why you need to tell people what currencies and countries apply to you, if you actually want any useful answers.

  • what benefits do the african cards from Zimbabwe and Somaliland offer that especially favor travelers ?

    I think I've heard that banks in Somaliland sometimes offer insurance against pirate attacks, which might come in very handy.

  • do any of you recommend a particular credit card that benefits travelers?
  • I have bank accounts in different countries […]

    In that case the most valuable piece of advice I can give you is that no matter how good contracts you have with your banks currency conversion is never ever for free, so make sure to only use credit cards that you pay in currencies that you have income in or else you'll always unnecessarily waste money by having to convert from the currencies you have income in to the currencies you need to pay your credit card balance. It's utterly unlikely that you'll ever find any credit card that has so good conditions that it'd make up for that loss.

    Which brings us back to square one: In order to get any useful advice, you need to tell what currency (or currencies) you have income in, that you'll use to pay your credit card balance.

  • do any of you recommend a particular credit card that benefits travelers?
  • Any useful answers to this question will depend heavily on where you live and in which currency you're going to pay your credit card balance.
