Meanwhile, here I am with a €5 a month,100GB plan, of which I manage to use hardly less than 10% every month.

I intend to, the moment I get my new system uo and running.
unlimited for $25 here and it's pretty nice.
I can get unlimited for €15, I think. But I really don't need it.
Where I live, you can spend triple that amount for just SMS and Calling.
What app are you using?
This post literally reminded me I had my WiFi turned off and that I needed to turn it back on, thank you stranger.
Are people not aware that 5G unlimited plans are cheap and plentiful now?
Find a MVNO that works for you and enjoy all the data.
Not here in Canada. The telecoms have a huge monopoly that they abuse to jack prices up to ridiculous amounts. 5G + Unlimited is well over 100 CAD where I am.
You're joking right?
Those are Vidéotron's prices
And Bell is barely any better.
Canadian telecoms fucking suck.
We are. This meme is just 10 years old.
What's your pick/recommendations? Mint mobile has been nice with excellent coverage by T-Mobile.
I’ve read/heard plenty of good things about Mint.
I currently use Visible, which runs on Verizon’s network. I pay annually for the Visible+ plan and it’s been great.
Previously I used Metro which runs on T-Mobile.
I like US mobile. Can choose from 3 networks (T-Mobile, Verizon, and AT&T). They also have multi-network, but haven't tried it; Verizon is the only network that has good coverage at my home.

>When you watch porn on your phone, but you notice that you are not connected to Wi-Fi.
Prepaid, my phone credit only lasts a month, whether I use it or not. So I'm actually always on wifi, or offline
For Europeans, who don't understand: In America they have limits on mobile data in single digits of GB.
No, they just have both options.
As a German over 20 I very much understand
Canada too, our telecom companies are... bad
I got into the habit of downloading anything I wanted to watch / read on the bus. That offline reddit app was nice, and even though I don't need it now I'd probably download a lemmy version of it
I also set up an IFTTT thing back then which would turn off data and turn on wifi based on location
Depending on the contract you sign. Some have unlimited data options, others have only a couple gigs. But back in the early days of mobile data, unlimited options were rare and going beyond your limit meant potentially hundreds more in expenses for the month

I had 400mb a month for years and it was plenty for me (European).
I guess that can work if you're basically just texting. But that's barely enough for 2 youtube videos. I don't think that qualifies as "plenty" for most people.
I have 1GB/m and rarely use half of it. I just don't watch YT when I'm outside. And it's plenty for looking at beans on Lemmy.

UK here, I pay £5 a month for 3GB. I could pay more for more, but I don't really need it.
Honestly I think most people have unlimited nowadays but other plans definitely exist

Here in europe we turn off the wifi intentionally when at home, since 5G is often faster
In rural UK I have unlimited 4g data and use hotspot for my PC's internet connection. It's about the same as the copper line would be so I don't bother with it.

Laughs in unlimited
How do people use so much data? I've been on 6 hours and I barely use 10gb
6 hours
barely 10GB
what???
Install a couple windows games maybe?
on a phone?
Phones make great hotspots for laptops.
ok but then it wasn't accidental
It could be if you forgot that you set it up that way.
