Most people scramble to use up even 200 GB per month
bandwidth is almost free for them
I think that if they implemented a stratergy where they would try to get more people over to an "unlimited plan"
they could make more money than by pricewalling the GBs
but that's probably stupid, maybe they dont have that huge uplinks on the towers
but lets say they run ISPs that sell internet in said areas
I think the "unlimited" plan is there to seem exclusive
shouldnt be that hard consdiering what home users do
People who need that can strike seperate dealings with them, anyway
You can actually ask them for that when subbing
There is also this dangerous side of it
And they'll return with a receipt
imagine not having to subscribe to home net anymore
and only using celluar to pay bills and stream a bit
this could be bad
Really now?
I mean, how would it be dangerous?
they wouldn't sell the residential line
Eh
Residential line is much cheaper to setup, though
It's very cost-effective
but it costs a lot per month
for customers
I pay $40 for 30Mbps
If anything, it would force those prices to go down
and installing fibre isnt all that cheap
it can cost quite a sum
Which in turn would be good for us customers
costs millions
Sweden had this problem who would pay for installation?
This causes monopoly which is bad
We should have transparent lines
I guess you mean the outer areas
opennet?
Heard about that for example
I've heard about it too
And it is getting implemented more and more
Power users wouldn't settle with 4G being their only network capability, though
The latency is still on the high side
