LOL, I pay 20 $ equivalent in India for a year with 500gb + cellular data on 4G and unlimited calls and SMS .
Internet prices are fucked up in west.
India is 1.4 billion people. Canada has 33 millions spreaded in a much most vast area than India.
Russia has very low population density, too, yet I pay 10$/mo for unmetered 4G Internet and calls, and that's after dramatic price spikes that raised prices from 6$/mo a year and a half prior.
You know that statistic is bullshit just looking at profit reports from Canada's telcos right?
It's not that.
Australia has a similar population density and land size to Canada, yet our speeds are faster and our costs lower than Canada.
Meanwhile, 5G is fully restricted to key cities in my country. Who needs 5G when we need more towers and improved 4G quality.
