Sanga, 21 Feb 2018In India 4g data plan also too low you get 1gb per day data... moreIn Bulgaria i have 1GB-10Gb a day for 0.5 euro/1GB.
But, that's an exception. Normally we get just a few GBs for 10 euro and with at least 1 year contract, which is insane.

    In India 4g data plan also too low you get 1gb per day data for 28 days in 150 to 200 INR which is approximately 2 to 3 US dollar.

      Anonymous, 21 Feb 2018In my area jio speed is 4-5mbps.4 to 5 mbps is equal to 625KBPS

        Great to see my country having the fastest average LTE speeds, SOMEHOW...I was expecting other countries to have better coverage speeds, but nevertheless, let's see how much improvement will 5G offer when it is available in most countries

          In some countries, LTE means having actual data connectivity (even at “slow”speed) than nothing at all due to ultra crowded and choked 3G bandwidth.

              Anonymous, 21 Feb 2018With any mobile net speed improvements, reach is far more i... moreOnce they get 99.99 or true 100% coverage, then they can focus on speed.

              I just wonder how many ages will that take...

                With any mobile net speed improvements, reach is far more important than the best avg speed. Pointless if we're to talk max speed gains only in the most developed urban areas but the minute we go out of that then we're forced to auto switch back to slower bands.

                Not that I defend telcos per se but reach is their top and well placed priority.

                          If the fastest country is @45 Mbps, how can the average be plateauing to 50 Mbps?
