how much 1 gb of mobile traffic costs in your country?

here they are increasing it by 75% and then it would cost around ~320 sats per gb.

In the UK, it is thankfully dirt cheap. Plus, at least in London, every pothole has free WiFi. Travelling abroad often ends in nasty surprises, though. I think that nostr:nprofile1qqsw9n8heusyq0el9f99tveg7r0rhcu9tznatuekxt764m78ymqu36cpr3mhxue69uhhyetvv9ujucnfw33k76twwpshy6ewvdhk6tcpzdmhxue69uhhwmm59e6hg7r09ehkuef0qy2hwumn8ghj7un9d3shjtn4w3ux7tn0dejj7ne6u4e’s country 🇨🇦🇨🇦🇨🇦 was the most expensive one I’ve seen so far. Canadian ISPs really like to screw tourists. I paid 80 CAD for a prepaid SIM and data package that would cost about £5 around here. My last trip to Canada was when I learned to research eSIMs before travelling.

do you have prices on sats?

It's hard to do any sort of sane maths when there are plenty of "unlimited" data contracts around. You have to dig into the small print, fair usage policies, etc. My own contract is one of these "unlimited" ones for £16 per month. I have no idea what the upper limit is, but I know that I once used over 3 TB without any warnings or speed throttling. I don't know if they'd cut me off if I did that regularly, though.

As for a more typical "normie" contract, my wife is paying £8 per month for 50 GB, so 16p per GB. If you trust Google's BTC quotation, that's 0.000002 BTC ÷ 0.00000001 = 200 sats.

I don't know how much was lost or added due to FX. Honestly, for my own plan above, it gets dangerously close to "a sat isn't small enough to pay for 1 GB".

thanks a lot. the plan you are using is extremely cheap. that's nice.

the other one is close to the price we have here. before 75% increase.

The cheapest one here in El Salvador is at 125 sats per Gb.

that's nice. 🫡
