All mobile broadband isps in eu and Asia (where they usually cannot get anything else) have caps at just a few gigs of data. Even in Sweden, they are adding hidden limits when reaching a TB of data on cabled broadband. This means streaming 4K video will reach these limits.
- pdimitar 9y agoI definitely agree for the rural / less accessible areas. Carriers definitely have a monopoly there and certain countries like Sweden, Norway and Finland are too vast to have good cabled coverage. In most of the EU cities you got plenty of choice however.
- tmikaeld 9y agoThat's absolutely true, the closer to the root nodes of EU you get the cheaper the bandwidth is. Heck, in Romania you can even get 10Gbit on a small datacenter for a few thousand €. So sure, if the larger nodes can weigh up the smaller ones in a distributed network, then it might be plausible.
