Mobile data in Phnom Penh
How far does a 5 GB bundle go in Phnom Penh? About 8 hours of HD 720p with Silux Media, versus 3.7 hours with other media servers at the same picture quality (our measurements).
Evenings in Phnom Penh
Local time in Phnom Penh is UTC+7, with no clock change. Between 19:00 and 23:00 local (12:00–16:00 UTC) shared networks are at their fullest, which is when Silux Media's lower data use matters most.
Close to the equator, Phnom Penh has about 11 h 27 min–12 h 48 min of daylight all year, so evening viewing starts at much the same time in every season.

The nearest other cities we cover are Siem Reap (231 km). On trains, buses and roads between them, quality re-adjusts every three seconds.
Crossing into Vietnam? Can Tho is about 195 km away — the app works abroad too, and on roaming data the low data use counts double.
Questions from Phnom Penh
Can I watch my own films in Phnom Penh?
Yes. Install the free Silux Media server on a computer at home and watch on your phone, tablet, laptop or TV — in Phnom Penh, elsewhere in Cambodia, or abroad.
Does it help on crowded city networks in Phnom Penh?
Yes. Using less data per minute means a stream needs less of a busy cell or Wi-Fi network — so it keeps playing when others start to buffer.
How much mobile data does a film use in Phnom Penh?
Measured: 1.0 GB per HD hour with Silux Media versus 2.7 GB with Plex for an identical picture — the same film, under half the data.
What's the busiest time for streaming in Phnom Penh?
Usually 19:00–23:00 local time (12:00–16:00 UTC), when most people are online. Silux Media steps quality down within seconds if the network gets crowded, instead of buffering.
Can I watch my films in Vietnam?
Anywhere, Vietnam included. Roaming allowances are small, which is where using under half the data pays off.
What does Silux Media cost in Cambodia?
The self-hosted server is free forever, including remote streaming. Optional plans are billed in USD on our website — never inside the apps.
