I just made MG2. You don't have to understand it, just know it was on my list of things to do before I die

Awesome. Another thing to cross off your bucket list.

Still want to know what it is.

This pricing vs e.g. Telkom or Vodacom (or Rain in regards to unlimited), insane.
Two years ago I used to get around 30Mbps at my house.

Mobile data. E.g. A1 is Telkom equivalent in Austria, their pricing is about Telkom pricing there as well.

Just interesting how an open market actually allows cheaper pricing.

Planning in regards to while waiting for cable to install.

SA is 15 times larger than Austria so a bit harder and more expensive to cover the country, wouldn’t you say? Say hi to magicpoop4eva when you get there from me.

Sounds like a cool role. Do you get to use magic?

They have the equivalent issue to US in regards to government giving money for roll-out and most of it going to dividends:

Summary: $200 Billion Broadband Scandal

newnetworks.com
It's at $400bn now, that extra surcharge has been running for over 20 years.

In Austria they convinced the government that FFTC was fine, then moved to rather do mobile instead rather than fiber. Completely stupid, crap net for most unless you are lucky enough to have cable, which I do at that house, am literally the last house on that road and am lucky to have access. DSL wise I just have a 5/0.5Mbps line that's been going downhill for a while now, pay for 20Mbps access (lowest product), much fun.

And in regards to South Africa coverage, kind of disagree with that quite a bit, you have way more population/handsets, and you have a lot of open plains, signal travels far, plus they should have done an agreement to all roam on each other and just properly compete in cities, that's all government messing it up. Also take into account average salary is higher in Austria, that includes technician etc., that's why the high price of A1 that's Vodacom equivalent, and competitors can be low pricing.
