The race to 5G is over — now it’s time to pay the bill | Networks spent years telling us that 5G would change everything.

        Russia has very low population density, too, yet I pay 10$/mo for unmetered 4G Internet and calls, and that’s after dramatic price spikes that raised prices from 6$/mo a year and a half prior.

        Australia has a similar population density and land size to Canada, yet our speeds are faster and our costs lower than Canada.
