Not true in Australia
1 comments

Again as the OP said, “ That’s only a problem in countries with poor network infrastructure”.

Australia is a victim of its geography. (Plus last I heard the National fiber backbone didn’t go as planned either). I’m would expect a high bandwidth wired backbone is required to support scaling up mobile data throughput.

Whilst Australia's NBN rollout was plagued with problems, in the end I would say it did go as planned - the design, as implemented, was intended to be crap. It was outdated when it was conceived, and could not possibly serve the country for the next thirty years as it claimed.
Still not true and I live in Western Europe. Data cap is 50GB for a 30€ plan. This is farcry from "unlimited data plan".
