> Mobile internet is much, much more expensive here. Maybe that’s because it’s less needed due to Wi-Fi ubiquity, but the difference is still staggering. Mint Mobile gives me 4 GB of mobile internet per month, while back in India, Jio gave me 1 GB of internet per day.
This is what gets me as a european, why do you get throttled so quickly in the US? I couldn’t find a plan that would give me real unlimited data.
- dartharva 5y agoHigh-capital industries like telecom generally end up in oligopolies making if left unchecked. Before Jio entered and disrupted it, India's telecom market was also very consumer-hostile and gave terrible prices and service despite being one of the countries that had adopted both GSM and CDMA. For US it might also be the case that WiFi hotspots are everywhere and mobile data isn't used as much.
