I have 1Gb for 12€/300CZK per month in Prague (it could be 10€ but fiber infrastructure is not directly from my carrier, so they gave to pay fee to other company, but I know in other places they can go down to 10€/250CZK), why would I go for the lower speed it it cost the same or even more?

I was watching yesterday F1 practice and qualification in some German channel worth German ads and couldn't believe the advertised prices, they were advertising 100Mb for 36€, only 30 times more expensive, the other ad was like 250Mb for like 24€, 8 times more expensive, what are these people smoking?

I've had before upgrade 250Mb, but without fiber installed in different room, so the speed where I needed it was max 120Mb, now this was quality of life improvement, while movie download within minute instead of waiting 10-20 minutes, work attachments almost instantaneous and my kids are not using the internet yet.

Funnily in speed test I'm able to reach slightly higher top speed on my Pixel 6a with wifi 6e than on laptop directly connected with gigabit cable to router, but it's almost same like 960 vs 950 Mb.
