The minimum wage in US would be $1200 per month. So if the average price in the US is $55, that's about 4.5% of a monthly salary.
Given your quoted numbers, the price in Ukraine is actually higher at 5% of a monthly salary.
Of course the US doesn't have a monthly minimum wage (not sure how that works in Ukraine) so many people in the US might only have part time jobs paying the minimum hourly wage, hence they make considerably less than $1200 a month.
- chaostheory 10y agoI could be wrong but I think it's actually lower in the US if you're only making minimum wage. Years ago it qualified you for a subsidized $19.99 plan. UPDATE It seems to be even less today at $5-10: http://money.cnn.com/2016/04/22/technology/access-from-att-digital-divide/ http://money.cnn.com/2016/04/22/technology/access-from-att-d... It's strange that the article doesn't mention this.
- technofiend 10y agoUh, yeah about that.. I have an aunt on permanent disability. She haggled with AT & T in Austin for months trying to get that service. They make it extremely difficult to actually sign up. I believe she finally just switched to the $300 one time cost Google Fiber plan when they came to town.
- chaostheory 10y agoWhy am I not surprised? I wonder if there's a way to put a spotlight on that practice? Medium post?
