  • I pay like 7$/month for unlimited mobile data, but they do datacap and use very scetchy schemes aswell. I live in a countryside and we have 4G, but they offer you something called “pre-5G” for extra 4$. I tried it last month and obviously didn’t feel much difference since it’s the same 4G with a “higher priority, P2W”. But this month i disabled it and now my speeds are so bad during the day. Lots of websites can be laggy and slow from time to time, they’re literally forcing you to enable that thing back, even tho it wasn’t as bad before i enabled it.

    Speed-wise it can easily get 1.2-1.8 MB/s on torrents, so it’s not that bad. But watching Twitch or Youtube can sometimes be annoying because connection can be pretty unstable during daylight, at night everything is perfect. And it’s not because there’s a lot of other people using mobile data in my area, i’m probably the only one who uses my certain provider here. They do deliberately “shape” the speed down for some reason and lots of people on russian forums complain about it.
