    God damn. In Austria I’m paying 35€ for 250/250, and am still looking over to the Romanians with longing eyes. Data caps are only on mobile - which is still questionable in my eyes.

      Data caps on mobile makes more sense to me, simply because mobile data is so much more expensive.

        Is it?

        To me it seems it’s cheaper to build an antenna to serve 100-1000s of users than to dig and install cables to all of them.

          It depends on what you’re trying to do. If you’re just trying to reach them and don’t care about bandwidth, wireless is the way to go. It’s why more developed countries lagged behind developing countries on the transition to wireless phones. But when you’re trying to deploy shear amounts of bandwidth, nothing beats fiber. It’s incredibly fast, has low latency, and doesn’t get interference.
