Lol In Italy I get gigabit for about 6€

Edit: whoops thats for my unlimited calls, text and 150gb 5g mobile plan. I pay a whopping 30€ for actual-unlimited-not-rate-limited-after-a-TB gigabit.

A 1 Gbps up/down in Denmark is around 40-50€, and low speeds like 100/100 is more like 25-35€.

Same for Norway and Sweden. Everything is unlimited of course.

Though let's be honest, this is not something generally available.

O RLY? Which ISP?

Right, it’s actually 30€ with TIM, recently upgraded from the €15 plan, my bad. Obviously a huge and glaring oversight. Tell me again what people are paying in the states for a percentage of that speed again and reflexively defend the shit system, please. €6 is what I pay for my unlimited calls, text and 150gb mobile data plan.
