I assume Romanians are somewhat (equally) clueless about technology on average. What's the difference, then? What are they doing right?

Actually worse. Most people still have a hard time just doing basic things on a laptop.

The difference is teenagers are teaching their parents how to use laptops or other new electronics so they are improving slowly.

Is £6/month a lot in Romania? Does it buy less than the $70 I spend for 50mbs?

Prices for most things in Romania are the same as in London but the income is a lot less that's what puts most Romanians in a nasty situation.

Imagine you living on (average us income)/6 while everything else around you has the same price it has now. That will give you a good idea.

Most people have a monthly income of about £250 if you were to convert it. Now that should cover all the bills and food, most Romanians own their houses so they don't have to pay rent which is good but that is still a bad situation regardless.
