Why the fuck are mobile data plans this pathetic still? The fuck am I going to do with 500mb, watch half of one youtube video?

If you used the full capabilities of LTE I'm pretty sure you could easily blow through this in less than a minute.

>Why the fuck are mobile data plans this pathetic still?

How hard is it to go one fucking train ride without watching a fucking youtube video? Why don't you just download it beforehand? Why are you so fucking addicted to youtube?

I would almost say that is fine for someone who never leaves sight of a wifi access point, but for $40 a month I would tell them to eat shit. Is that a normal price for mobile data? What year is it?

> why are you so addicted to youtube

I'm no more addicted to youtube than the last 3 generations were to television.

They're literally the cancer ruining mobile internet usage for everyone. They don't even offer large data options even if you had the money for it.

At the amount of money this shit costs you're better off just waiting to have wifi.

I do download it beforehand, I was just making a point. I literally don't pay these prices because they're fucking retarded, but I hate how convenient all these streaming services and amazing amounts of content could be, but aren't because they're ruined by shitty phone plans.

>connecting to random wifi signals everywhere you go

People watched television in their homes. They didn't fucking bring tiny TVs onto the bus with them.

these are the prices in Canada. You also can't have a smart phone without buying data. It's so fucking dumb.

>Is that a normal price for mobile data? What year is it?

It's actually gotten worse in the last 5 years. When I first got my 4s I was on a 16GB plan for $20, I just figured within the next few years everyone would have unlimited but in reality it's somehow gone backwards.

>tfw truly unlimited 4g data at 15 €/month
Feels good

>people watched television

you mean people watched a slew of jewish advertisements while drinking their coca-cola^tm? TV has always been shit, even in the 90s I didn't watch that shit I just went outside.

Internet is going the same way now the normies latched on since start of the millenium.

>you can't have a smartphone without buying data

???

Can't you go into an apple/whatever shop and just straight up buy the phone? I haven't walked into a "phone shop" since I was like 16 and realised how much of a scam that shit is.

You live in northern europe somewhere?

I'm mad jelly, scandinavians have god-tier internet privelidges.

>Not buying unlocked chinkphones on ebay

>having a cell phone

>tfw unlimited 150 mbit 4G
>16 yuropcoins per month
Technically it's supposed to be a data only plan but the only difference is that calls are twice as expensive. That doesn't affect me because I don't have any friends. Take that, phone jews.

I went through the edgy no phone phase too but trust me dude, you can't avoid it forever.

Holy fuck. I guess for Australia it makes sense to have shitty Internet considering they are geographically isolated from everywhere else. But Canada? The maple leaves need to revolt.

It's true that more people use mobile data now but it was already pretty saturated half a decade ago. I'm currently on a family plan with Cricket because it saves money, but I think their basic plans are like $40 for 2.5 gigs of LTE data. It isn't great compared to other countries, but that's literally 5 times better than OP

Finland. We have the cheapest mobile data in the world and use it the most.

>calls

Phone calls need to die already. It's 2016, we have literal free internet video calls available and the jews are still trying to charge us £3.50 a minute to call a special 01 number to speak to mr.singh in the indian call center.

Whatever it is, if it can't be done on the internet, just give up and go without it.

>2.5gigs

Not trying to be a dick, but do you get used to having to conserve data all the time on these plans?

I feel like I would accidentally forget I'm not on wifi and go on instashit for 5 mins and blast through it all.

Holy shit America and Canada need to sort their shit out.

Europe are internet gods.

Wtf? I only pay $15 a month contract-free for unli call and text to same network, unlit text to all networks and 3G of data/

"Luckily" my data speeds aren't extremely fast on mobile, so it would take more than a few minutes. But the network automatically connects to wifi as soon as it is within range, and I am almost always around wifi when I actually care to use my phone for watching videos.

But yeah I imagine if I went out more often and only relied on my phone for entertainment hours every day, it would be pretty tough to keep under that high speed cap.

>tfw canadian carriers charge 5$/100mb in overages

You cucks seem to think this is still a good thing.

If it wasn't for the jews at these service provider companies we could be streaming movies all day on LTE wherever we were right now, but instead we're wondering if this next snapchat will put us over our 3GB allowance.

>100mb

Anyone else find it odd to see data amounts in mb anymore? Anything under 1GB doesn't even register as a notable amount in my head anymore.

Ive used 2.5 gigs so far this month
I have unlimited data
Been a slow month for data usuage which is weird as my mobile data is faster then my home
Usually end up around 10-12 gigs a month

When I had 16gigs that was usually perfect for me.

Since they downgraded all the plans I don't think it's worth paying $50+ just to have to still constantly look for wifi like I do right now.

>tfw kiwiblokes pay at best NZD$16/GB (being reasonable), I've seen Pakistan do USD$2/GB.

How are western countries this shit?

People like to spend hours at mcdonalds posting shit to Facebook

I thought mine was bad and I pay $60 for 10GB/Month including HTC M9.

How hard is it to offer one fucking unlimited data plan? Oh right, providers would rather pocket the cash than upgrade their 90's cell towers.

>facebook
>2016

Let me guess, you're about 34 but post on Sup Forums and consider yourself a fairly hip adult who is down with the kids.

Don't know, unlimited 150/50mbit/s here. Why are muricans lagging so bad behind? Aren't they supposed to be the advanced country?

The market is probably down to 1 company now. If there was any competition at all, one of them would straight up offer unlimited for a reasonable price and win the war outright instantly.

>freedom
>has so many laws and regulations compared to other countries

they wont because they know if they do, the other guys would have to respond with an equal plan or a cheaper plan and likewise untill both end up losing more and more profits having to offer more competitive plans

like a mutually assured destruction scenario

its in their best interest to offer the same plans and split the market for maximum profits while keeping all the smaller guys out

But thats illegal
To bad the lobbiest shill just give monies to congress

Fuck off you socialist cuck.
Check your freedoms before you talk shit.

Oh and Sprint tried that their infrastructure couldn't match the new demand and they lost a lot of customers

...

lobbyists: ensuring laws apply only to peasants

>socialist
I'm from NZ, a western country. I have the right to shittalk my own country mate.

You know mobile is going to be shit when canadian/usa carriers complained to have LTE/HSPA classified as 4G solely for marketing purposes.

>mfw 12 gb 20$/month and every extra gb only 10$

Cable company monopolies, bruh.
Legislators get da muney, Cable bros get da muney. Everyone (who matters) wins.

Yeah, and NZ is very socialist, just look at your welfare system.

...

6€/month

>mfw unlimited* 100/100 $30 month

*transferred 13TB one month last year so it's true unlimited, not those US "Unlimited" with an actual cap at 5-10GB.

>13TB

jesus fucking christ, of what? I can't think of any practical reason to need 13TB of data transfer

Hahahahaha, that's fucking disgusting. I pay 16€/mo for unlimited full speed LTE. Jesus christ, how can you people stand those prices?

Torrenting anime
12 of those TBs where uploads.
Decided to fix my lousy 0.9 ratio and make it into 38.X (forgot the exact decimal number).

>how can you stand those prices

Most people I know either pay the lowest amount and only use it for maps/messaging, or they just ignore mobile data altogether and use wifi

Wifi is a fucking shitter when it requires mobile data in order to get on the website to fucking accept the terms though

Or ones that say "_____ FREE WI-FI" and you get "unable to connect" ???

>tfw unlimited 4G data for 30€
>tfw Funland

That's really sad imo. And it's kinda funny, here in Funland a couple of operators tried to bring limited subscriptions to the marlet but it pretty much failed altogether because people are so used to using unlimited connections that practically no one bought them.

>tfw i have Unlimited as in infinite dataplan
FeelsGoodMan

lakko pipo

because we let them monopolize on it

Yes Americans are actually this dumb

>mfw 12 gb 20$/month and every extra gb only 10$
Your ISPs are required to store all the data you send and receive (even encrypted so it can be bruteforced in the future with quantum computers if need be), it means they need to buy a fuck ton of new storage space and tying what you pay to your usage is a simple way to cover the extra expense

>that's really sad imo

yeah it pretty much neuters everyone's smartphones in the one time when they'd want to use them, while they're outside.

I figure it can't last forever though, most likely it will go unlimited around the same time people finally stop paying for their cable subscription or using a landline and other equally retarded 90s shit.

Got a letter from my phone company few months ago saying they are no longer offering mobile plans without data, I'm now forced to pay extra 2 euroloos/month for unlimited 3G. FML

t. Finland

>Damn Funland and all their Internet-is-a-human-right law.
Come over to USA and get shot by niggers and the gubernment, so much freedom on whoever gets to fuck you over.
Living the dream.

well obviously some people only want to check their e-m...
>$40/month
WTF?

Jesus dude that's pathetic
I'm a burger on a MNVO and pay $45/mo for 5GB data and barely burn through half of it

canadian here
i pay this much for 1gb of data on at 3g speeds
unlimited everything else though

I pay 9.99€ for unlimited calls, unlimited sms and mms, and 1GB of data.
Europe master race.

Switch to a different provider or plan. They're hoping that you are too lazy to do that.

The fuck you're doing with unimited calls and messages? You're some kind of faggot with friends and social life?

Are pay as you go plans unheard of in the rest of the world?
Why the fuck do you pay for shit that you are not using?
I generally spend less than $5 per month. literally everywhere I go there is wifi to use, and Im not autistic enough to want to watch youtube on bus. Just bring an ebook if you must

Wow, i pay $120/mo for 5 lines, unlimited talk, text and 40 GB LTE to share. When the 40gb runs out, we get 3g for free (until the next billing period).

OP is getting cucked hard

You are the reason why we can't have nice things

I'm the reason you can actually watch nice things.
I also spoonfed just to spite the retards that think they are such hot shots because they know something.

1000 MB, better?

>buying pocket botnets

What is cartel like business practices. Its not that no one can compete. It's that they all decide not to, and promise not to undercut.

lmao it's 3rd world in here

I have unlimited LTE on up to 4 devices for 40 dollars a month, alongside unlimited texting and 12 hours of talk

Your fault for leaving your room in the first place, normie

I get 20 gb for 8 bucks.

Btw live in top 5 highest GDP country in the world

>1000MB
Much better.
1000mb is just 0.125GB.

You wot

ur phones old

Mobile:
Unlimited LTE with no speed limit.
Typically I get 150/100 mb speeds
Limitless calling and sms
All this for 30€/month
Home:
100/100 mb fiber, 10€/month fixed
Finland

>not having a job

Paying 10€/mo for unlimited 3G usage and only 100calls/100texts cus i aint one of them normies
funland best

I don't watch anime

what's that graph about?
dick size in inches?

Gross savings (% of GDP)

Italian cellular networks are utter garbage and providers charge every 28 days because they're greedy mafiamen.
I got lucky and recently found a 4GB "LTE" for 10EUR/4 weeks plan. Usually you can only get half of that for a couple euros more.

>480x854
How do you use that much data only watching 480p?

...

think about how much money the average paki earns you dumb cunt

If you downloaded 1 TB, and uploaded 12 TB, how did you get from a .9 to a 38 ratio?

I only have unlimited data on my plan. No need for unlimited texts and calls when I hardly ever call anyone and send texts even less often because of all the messaging apps that are available.

I burn through a lot of data and don't want to worry about how much I have left. Luckily I'm in Funland so unlimited data is dirt cheap.

without contract...

Ameripoors on suicide watch

I downloaded 1TB in total but that also includes torrents from other sites, I only seeded to one though.
