I travel to rural areas in the South Indian state of Andhra Pradesh every month. The connection quality is as poor as its availability is flaky. I find that GMail, Google Drive and the Google search page always load. Business correspondence and collaborative editing have not been problems at all. I have not tried Google+, though. I shall try it the next time.
On the other hand, my biggest problems have been with GitHub. Not once in the last 18 months have the GitHub Web pages loaded. That makes reviewing and merging pull requests very painful. I reported this to GitHub long ago, but have not seen any improvement yet.
Weird. I am in Malawi right and have basically the opposite experience. Google is dog slow, but I can get GitHub just about anywhere. Probably has something to do with where the packets are routed.
