I'm in the Philippines and I pay $200 for 10Mbps :-(

I'm in the wealthiest county in my state in the U.S. and the best I can get is $50/mo for spotty ~12mbit hotspot service with 95% uptime that I have to physically restart every other day when it craps out entirely...

It theoretically has a data cap at 50 gb but it isn't enforced.

In India..

~$20 for 100Mbps (data capped at 400GB)

~$85 for 1Gbps (data capped at 2.5TB)

~$12.4 here for 300 Mbps symmetric and unlimited. Literally unlimited. Last month I used 1TB+.
Isn't 1TB / month fairly average for heavy users? AFAIK many US data caps are at 1 TB. At 30 TB I'd say it is "literally unlimited".
I'm in the PH as well and I pay 55 USD (2,899 PHP) per month for 100Mbps. Ok, I am happy most of the time with 10Mbps but I have occasionally a good surprise.
I live in rural Thailand, near the border with Myanmar and we pay about 18 EUR for 60 Mbps download, 25 Mbps upload speed.
Ireland: €59 for 240 mbps down, 24up. 500 mbps down is available for an extra €10, but 240 is plenty.
Finland paying 9€ for 100Mbps.
