Same with Thailand - 5x the price of local 4G data, which caps to 384k after 20GB.

Even their roaming price doesn't compare well - for Asia I get ~$8 per day, for Europe, North America and Oceana it's $15 per day. This is for unlimited data, at full local network speed.

Last time I was in LA for a project (with half a dozen others, all came in from different countries) it often worked out cheaper/easier for them to all just ether to my phone than deal with a crappy prepaid data service each.
