- efdee 2y agoWhen I travel to North America, I get a 6 EUR/day data deal that transfers my EU 5G quota to the US. Demand better from your companies.
- lxgr 2y agoHow does one “demand better” from a handful of giant corporations? Did you personally negotiate that plan with your phone operator? Besides that, neither tethering (for reasons other than cost, mentioned above) nor international roaming (increased latency) are a perfect replacement for fast local Wi-Fi at this point.
- efdee 2y agoIt's that dreaded government intervention thing. (also: increased latency for roaming?)
