@Dietrich Not at all

2016-08-26 23:23:22 UTC  

Most people scramble to use up even 200 GB per month

2016-08-26 23:23:25 UTC  

bandwidth is almost free for them

2016-08-26 23:23:35 UTC  

I think that if they implemented a stratergy where they would try to get more people over to an "unlimited plan"

2016-08-26 23:23:43 UTC  

they could make more money than by pricewalling the GBs

2016-08-26 23:23:54 UTC  

but that's probably stupid, maybe they dont have that huge uplinks on the towers

2016-08-26 23:24:02 UTC  

but lets say they run ISPs that sell internet in said areas

2016-08-26 23:24:03 UTC  

I think the "unlimited" plan is there to seem exclusive

2016-08-26 23:24:10 UTC  

shouldnt be that hard consdiering what home users do

2016-08-26 23:24:17 UTC  

People who need that can strike seperate dealings with them, anyway

2016-08-26 23:24:31 UTC  

You can actually ask them for that when subbing

2016-08-26 23:24:34 UTC  

There is also this dangerous side of it

2016-08-26 23:24:39 UTC  

And they'll return with a receipt

2016-08-26 23:24:40 UTC  

imagine not having to subscribe to home net anymore

2016-08-26 23:24:47 UTC  

and only using celluar to pay bills and stream a bit

2016-08-26 23:24:51 UTC  

this could be bad

2016-08-26 23:24:56 UTC  

Really now?

2016-08-26 23:25:01 UTC  

I mean, how would it be dangerous?

2016-08-26 23:25:05 UTC  

they wouldn't sell the residential line

2016-08-26 23:25:10 UTC  

Eh

2016-08-26 23:25:19 UTC  

Residential line is much cheaper to setup, though

2016-08-26 23:25:26 UTC  

yeah

2016-08-26 23:25:27 UTC  

It's very cost-effective

2016-08-26 23:25:29 UTC  

but it costs a lot per month

2016-08-26 23:25:31 UTC  

for customers

2016-08-26 23:25:38 UTC  

I pay $40 for 30Mbps

2016-08-26 23:25:41 UTC  

If anything, it would force those prices to go down

2016-08-26 23:25:54 UTC  

and installing fibre isnt all that cheap

2016-08-26 23:25:57 UTC  

it can cost quite a sum

2016-08-26 23:25:58 UTC  

Which in turn would be good for us customers

2016-08-26 23:26:00 UTC  

costs millions

2016-08-26 23:26:16 UTC  

Sweden had this problem who would pay for installation?

2016-08-26 23:26:21 UTC  

This causes monopoly which is bad

2016-08-26 23:26:25 UTC  

We should have transparent lines

2016-08-26 23:26:30 UTC  

I guess you mean the outer areas

2016-08-26 23:26:37 UTC  

opennet?

2016-08-26 23:26:41 UTC  

Heard about that for example

2016-08-26 23:27:20 UTC  

I've heard about it too

2016-08-26 23:27:36 UTC  

And it is getting implemented more and more

2016-08-26 23:28:26 UTC  

Power users wouldn't settle with 4G being their only network capability, though
