I see articles like this now and then, to me it seems a USA problem that regulators don't want to fix.
In Italy I spend 5€/month for a WindTre 4G connection, 40GB month data cap and no phone call cap, no SMS, literally nobody use them anymore. Other operators offers more expensive plans, but with a much higher data cap (now Iliad has a plan with 150GB/month data cap, no phone call and sms cap for 10€/month).
Most data I use is for streaming, which I suppose is not required to work.
Last year I bought a decent 14" Acer notebook for 600€ (Ryzen 5, 500GB SSD, 8GB RAM).
Countries like Romania has even cheaper plans. Why is this still an issue for world richiest country?
- horns4lyfe 5y agoIt’s not, we have cheap phone and data plans as well. The article is using the dishonest data point that, yes, it’s expensive to get a plan with unlimited data and a new phone and ever available feature. That laptop price is on par with what I would expect to pay, not sure where you’re going with that.
