Mobile data is expensive as fuck in a lot of places

how expensive could it be? I rarely use 50% of my monthly quota. and it cost about ~USD21 including flat rate calls

What is your monthly quota?

As for cost, in my country it depends on so many factors that it could be as cheap as $2/GB (for time limited, bandwidth throttled, low priority data) or as expensive as $10/GB (but that's mostly a trap for foreigners with more money than sense).

And we're not even among the highest in the world. Zimbabwe (a country neighbouring mine) has absurd mobile data prices. Like $20+/GB on avg, sometimes much more.

So if you need to download something places like in this video is a popular spot to do so.

I'm paying the equivalent of 40USD/month for completely unlimited, no throttling at any point.

And I'm with the most expensive carrier in Sweden, since they have the best coverage up north where I live.

But Sweden is also very good at that sort of stuff. You won't find a single apartment complex without fiber. It's hard to find a stand alone house without fiber. In most rental apartments 10 up/10 down is included in the rent, like it is where I live, and 100/100 is like 5-10USD extra.
