About streaming in Giza

The nearest other cities we cover are Cairo (7 km), Tanta (89 km) and Mansoura (115 km). On trains, buses and roads between them, quality re-adjusts every three seconds.
Crossing into Israel? Be'er Sheva is about 370 km away — the app works abroad too, and on roaming data the low data use counts double.

Questions from Giza
How much mobile data does a film use in Giza?
About 1.0 GB per hour in full HD and roughly 0.6 GB in 720p, from our measurements — against 2.5–2.7 GB per HD hour on Jellyfin and Plex at the same picture quality.
Does it help on crowded city networks in Giza?
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.
Does it support Arabic subtitles?
Yes — name a subtitle file with its language code (for example .ar.srt) and it's matched automatically; tracks inside the film are offered too.
What's the busiest time for streaming in Giza?
Evenings — roughly 19:00 to 23:00 in Giza, or 17:00–21:00 UTC. That's when a stream that needs fewer megabits has the edge.
Can I watch my films in Israel?
Anywhere, Israel included. Roaming allowances are small, which is where using under half the data pays off.
Will it work on the way to Cairo?
Yes. On the roughly 7 km between Giza and Cairo, the app re-checks the connection every three seconds and keeps playing — dropping to a lighter quality in weak spots and climbing back up after.
