I saw this awhile ago and I feel like there was more to the story…
I think it’s called The Descent.
Descent is such a good game
A full 6-degrees of movement in 3D space was groundbreaking.
I dunno if this is the reason here, but metallic tubes can amplify and extend weak wireless signals. So if the cave walls have metal in them, some random signal is reaching the mouth of the cave and it’s ricocheting off of every wall the further it goes, making it stronger and stronger the deeper you are.
Better signal strength does not directly correlate to better speed. Even if the signal was somehow better, the latency would be increasing deeper into the cave, which would drop the speed.
No online gaming in the wifi cave, got it.
Metal can cause weird RF signals, but mostly as a result of reflection. You can think of it in similar terms as sound. In a cave you’re voice bounces off the walls and reverberates, effectively smearing the sound. RF signals will experience the same thing. The signal might be loud enough, but completely unintelligible.
And that’s how your iPhone became a tricorder
