That's pretty cool for them ngl

that's the price they pay as a society that wants to shit in a toilet and ride on the inside of trains.

It would be so funny if regional pricing ended out of nowhere and the third world was just cut off.

People still pay per GB? I've had unlimited mobile data for over 15 years.

source?

No. Actually unlimited.

How did they calculate this? I fully believe that if you want a phone plan in the US with only 1GB of data, it would cost you about $6/month, but I highly doubt that you could get such a plan for $0.62/month in the UK.

We have three national networks (i.e., companies that actually put up antennas), but countless MVNOs.

>>106754978
fair
>>
>>106754953
it's not. I was torrenting hundreds of GB every month over my hotspot between circa 2011 and 2022, no observable throttling.

I don't really want to talk about India
Is there any hope for the entirety of the US to get really good internet?

>slav
yup makes sense

>>106754978
In India, JIO did the one on the right for Rs. 199 + Rs. 399 (6.8$) after their year long unlimited 5G for everyone promotional stint came to an end.

The only trouble is that there are so many consumers here that my 4G connection is literally better than the 5G everyone else is getting and it's still shit.
>>
>>106755048
The 6.8$ is cumulative btw. Before that, for a year, you could coast unlimited data off a 2.25$ connection per month.
>>
>>106754894
>>106754953
Same, with no throttling. Except I've had it for 20 years.

I pay 5€ for 200 GiB in France

>6 dollars
What fucking metric did these fucks use? Helium Mobile is literally free for like 3GB for US citizens. Sure, it's basically just the old Obama network infrastructure and you need a phone but hey 3GB free with minutes and texts.

you can't make this shit up

let me guess, you need more?

use-case for mobile data?
i currently reside in a 3rd world country where i pick the cheapest mobile data plan possible (~2$ a month), and it has ~1GB of mobile data, and a large number of free national minutes and SMS messages i never use. it's literally overkill, but it's the lowest tier already.
i don't need more mobile data because i have 1gbps unmetered connection from a small fiber provider in the capital where i live for ~30$ (they kept free-upgrading the speed from 200mbps to 400 to 800 to 1000). other ISPs have even cheaper plans, but they are tied to mobile providers an pull similar shenanigans to what mutts do (no one would even know what net neutrality is around here).
if i need extra mobile data short term, it's close to the chink price.
>>
>>106755544
The price might sound ridiculous but in my country I pay for a $10 monthly plan with 6GB of mobile data I barely use, but it saved me one time when I had to use it for work (ISP issues)
I burned through half my monthly quota on that one single day
It's like paying for insurance, I guess?
