Source data
The raw fields come from soda’s line catalogue records. We store a dated full-catalogue snapshot each week and generate the public dataset with fixed rules. Public files omit prices, product identifiers, and internal codes.
Field definitions
Exit means the IP exit claimed by the catalogue; a slash marks a route with several possible exits. Host carriers and radio generations come from coverage records. 5G outranks 4G, which outranks 3G. Unrecognised network values stay in the data-quality field instead of being discarded. Regional bundles expose only member count, exit, and plan count.
Exit normalisation
All 17 values present in the snapshot have an explicit mapping. UK becomes the ISO2 code GB, slash order is preserved, and Europe becomes an unspecified European region. A new value fails the build until a person classifies it.

FR/NL | FR — France / NL — Netherlands |
US | US — United States |
HK | HK — Hong Kong |

Europe | Europe (unspecified) |
IL | IL — Israel |
NL | NL — Netherlands |
BE | BE — Belgium |
NL/FR | NL — Netherlands / FR — France |
BR | BR — Brazil |
JP | JP — Japan |
NL/FR/US | NL — Netherlands / FR — France / US — United States |
PL | PL — Poland |

Service-matrix inference rules
Every cell says either “inferred — pending sample check” or shows a probe date. This release has no usable exit probe, so every cell remains inferred and is not a promise of permanent availability.

ChatGPT is marked unavailable at the HK exit. On 20 August 2026, OpenAI’s official supported-country list was opened and searched: Hong Kong was absent while Singapore was present. That supports a regional inference, not a test of this line.

TikTok is marked unavailable at the HK exit under the ticket’s 2020 Hong Kong market-exit rule. TikTok’s official Newsroom opened on 20 August 2026, but no accessible official withdrawal page was found. This source could not be confirmed on the spot, so the cell remains inferred pending a refreshed source and a sample check.
https://newsroom.tiktok.com/?lang=en SG, US, GB, NO, FR, NL, BE, IL, BR, JP, PL, TH, CA, and unspecified Europe are initially marked available for all five services, with inferred evidence. The snapshot has no CN exit; if one appears, the build fails until a rule is added.
How a sample check upgrades evidence
A sample check uses HTTPS, confirms the exit with at least two independent sources, and opens each service directly. A 429 from an IP lookup only means rate limiting; it is not location evidence, and the check stays pending. Only a timestamped probe record can promote a cell to probed.
Update cadence
The catalogue snapshot is scheduled weekly. Pages and the JSON/CSV files regenerate during the same build. Treat the displayed snapshot date as the boundary of every claim.
Known limitations
- Catalogue claims are not network measurements, and service status can change with platform policy or routing.
- Europe has no more precise country location, so it is not presented as a specific exit.
- The carrier list is a catalogue value, not an observed PLMN attachment. Best radio generation is the highest value seen in the catalogue.
- A multi-exit route expresses possibilities; it does not guarantee which exit a connection will use.
