I experienced this when I traveled to India, from Singapore. I paid about $7 USD for a whole month and I got about 1.5 GB of data everyday.
In Singapore, I paid $15 for 1GB a month. Beat that. It almost felt like daylight robbery when I returned.
- Aperocky 6y ago> I got about 1.5 GB of data everyday. How is the speed and what are you using it on? (looks like video). That's in the price range where I would gladly buy a mobile hotspot wifi, if the speed and latency is good enough.
- time2stop 6y agoThe speed shouldn't be bad, since he got 1.5 gigs per day.
- captn3m0 6y agoSpeeds are good enough for streaming (especially because videos can buffer), but not good enough for WFH setups, especially because of the data-caps. A little while back, there was some research that pointed out that mobile data prices in India were regulated by a cartel, because of how accurately data prices and plans were matched across all telecom operators. Jio's entry shattered a lot of it, but even today - data prices are irrational. Buying lots of data is costlier than buying a little. I put prices for my operator (State-owned BSNL) here: https://gist.github.com/captn3m0/ab25123638b877cd8e3d9868f335ff51 https://gist.github.com/captn3m0/ab25123638b877cd8e3d9868f33... and some interesting insights: * the cheapest option for me is to spend 4 cents per day to get 2GB data per day. However, it stops working the moment I cross 2GB, and I have to remember to pay every 54 days. * there are no plans where you can pay for an entire year. Paying for longer durations is _always costlier_. * All plans have caps around 1-3GB/day and short-durations.
