My mobile provider charges a ridiculous amount per mb while the price in a subscription is much cheaper, if you don’t use more nor less of the allocated amount.

My mobile provider charges a ridiculous amount per mb while the price in a subscription is much cheaper, if you don’t use more nor less of the allocated amount. So even though they provide both options you mentioned, neither feels ethical to me.
Edit: 1 eur per 10mb in the prepaid version vs 13.50 eur per month for 2gb plus other stuff like calls and sms. So I either have to waste money on stuff I don’t use every month or pay 15 times more for the same service
- ly3xqhl8g9 4y agoYes, mobile provider and ethics is generally a contradiction in terms. I suppose the issue in your case is with the pricing, not the subscription model: $10 for never expiring 100 GB is objectively better than $10/month for 100 GB/month, even if in some months you would pay a total of $20, some others months you would pay $0. I was thinking more of compute-intensive software services as photo/video manipulation with a server-side (AI models running remote, etc.) "1 eur per 10mb in the prepaid version vs 13.50 eur per month for 2gb" is simply speechless pricing, mafiosos have a gentler racket.
