There is some difference in included data packages between home and EU-roaming, but, yeah, it feels like it's about 10 years late. FWIF, 10 years ago I saw much more of free public WiFi. One part why it changed surely is security reasons, the other is just that people don't really need it that much, I think. I definitely don't rely on it that much (I do sometimes, because far cellular networks are not always available).
IDK, maybe I would feel different if I used laptop on the go more, but I doubt it. Having a mobile phone seems to cover it now.
- efdee 2y agoThere should not be. The law specifically says there should not be a difference in home use vs EU-roaming. I think you raise a good point though. I'm automatically suspicious of free WiFi.
- krick 2y agoYou are misinterptreting the law. I won't recollect the specifics now, but I wouldn't bother to comment if I wouldn't know for a fact there is a difference in data packages. My current plan, for instance, is no-limit for a small subset of EU/EEA countries, and about 30 GB cap for the rest of EU/EEA.
- lxgr 2y agoNo, the law explicitly carves out limitations for heavy users that phone operators can (but don't have to) implement. Some do (especially those in markets with relatively cheap plans or large data allowances), others don't.
