Our mobile data is the biggest scam that exists on this earth. A handful of gigabytes for 10s of €s per month.
The highest IQ people will say "Well it doesn't have to be more than a few gigabytes, you got wifi at home anyways, I barely reach the mobile data limit", well it doesn't have to be 10s of €s for a handful of gigabytes either/anyways.
And coverage outside has always been between "Barely alright" and "Dogshit non-existent" too, doesn't matter if you're in a city, around a city or on a street between cities, especially on the streets though you're lucky if you can fucking "ping -c 4 google.com" with package loss.
For it's the cheap cheap price of 22.4€/person for 20 GB 5G per person. And that's just because my father has been a customer for a long time and I'm a second device in his contract now, with 50% off. I also reach the 20 GB limit fairly often, especially when on the go a lot. Because Deutsche Bahn. F them. Not even a working Captive Portal is possible for them, so my Laptop has to connect to my Phones Hotspot. I'm in luck with coverage actually, it's pretty OK even in my village and all around. It's just bad in my school.
