I can vouch for parts of Latin America being good.  The road between Rivas and Popoyo in Nicaragua is the most comfortable place I've been so far, and the beach at Popoyo was pretty good (constant -60 dBm on my meter) despite having cellular and mobile data coverage.

It seems to be normal in Nicaragua for people to unplug their microwaves when they're not being used.  I noticed that both when visiting friends and also at Airbnb apartments, and in both Popoyo and Managua.

Even in the city the background RF levels are sometimes lower, maybe partly because the brands of network devices used there are different.  I remember one apartment in Colombia that had a steady -58 dBm RF level despite there being a cable/WiFi box 8 feet from my bed - a bit more surprising because it was in a multi-dwelling building in a densely populated middle-class neighborhood with a Claro Movil store directly across the street.
