also is gigabit the norm in us or europe? or is it still premium option

JI'm not sure. Which is the one where you had DSL/ADSL and you need to use phone line ?
KI'm in Canada, in any big city you can get gigabit or even 1.5gbps. Rural, much less so.
JAhh ok
I was just guessing because windows have nice legacy support

Ti just upgraded to 60 megabits down 
JSame here for fibre connections. For cell network now we have cheap 5G so 400MBps is considered kinda mid option
Tthere's fiber nearby but they do not support the town i live in despite supporting the surrounding areas
Athats nice, i mean i can get gigabit but it will cost me 250 usd/month
JAahhhhh that's very infuriating
Ktheoretically I should get faster, but I'm connected to Mullvad VPN
KI pay $95 CAD/month for gigabit. Like $70 USD.
JIn india is cheaper I guess. It starts around maybe $100/mo for gigabit lease line
JFor normal users it goes maybe upto 50USD/mo, we comparing different ppp so discrepancy
KI mean India is also far more densely populated, so it's more cost effective.
Aeconomies of scale is wild stuff
Krunning internet cable in india vs in canada = night and day for customers per km 
JI don't know how costs work for isps
JMajority users are on cell networks tho
KAh our cellular service is crap
Aalso probably cheaper to lay more cable in same place than extending the cable
Aprobably up to a limit
KI pay $35/mo for 50gb 5g, throttles to 512kbps after 50gb
Kits awful
KMOST people pay $80+, I refuse to get a subsidized phone tho so I get cheaper BYOD plans
DI think I pay 65$ for 1gb verizon fios
Dsomething like that
Athat also interesting to me in the west you buy phone with your provider
Anot a thing at all here
Wit's a holdover from the contract days when they could legally lock you in for years
Aalso interestingly i can get 50gb/month for 5 usd lol, although 5g coverage is ass here
A4g is decent atleast
Wu get free hotspot?
Awdym?
Watleast in america using your phone as a hotspot usually is separate from regular data
Wim just curious
Athats a thing?
JHere 5G(gigabit but realistically gets 400-700mbps) is around 50usd/yr, limited to 2.5GB/day
JThat's on cell
Wo wait, ur not talking phone lol
Wmy bad
Aim talking cellular yes
Abut never heard of hotspot
Kyeah, I refuse to do it. I did the math, it was cheaper to buy a OnePlus 12 and pay $35/mo than to get a 'subsidized' phone but be required to have a $80+ a month plan AND pay monthly for a phone on top of that.
JIf you want more data you, can pay 4 usd for additional 50GB data lol
Wlike where you turn your phone into a wifi?
KDoesn't every phone have this?
JData here refers to 5G download data
Wi guess not in india?
JYour phone's hotspot uses your cell data, doesn't it?
Wyes, but they often count the data separate in america
