Are you telling me we pay the highest in the world for mobile plans AND have the shittiest cell infrastructure. Jesus christ..

[–] corsicanguppy@lemmy.ca 8 points 1 year ago

Yes. Essential services with bloated prices and really low reliability.

But think of the profits shawgers is making for their shareholders! Mission accomplished!

I have 200mb of data and it turns off when I run out. If I ever get caught in an emergency, I'm screwed.

Plus, half the time their website seems to crash.

How do you operate on 200mb data? You might as well not have data at this rate. You can watch what, like a few minutes of video before your data is up? That's some serious BS, assuming you're in Canada.

I'm in the US, haven't seen a phone plan with less than unlimited anytime recently, although I know they exist. Ironically, even my ISP has a data cap (1.2TB/mo last I checked), but my phone plan doesn't (but does throttle after a while).

Just don't watch video on data.
