Why the fuck is the mobile network not EU-wide yet?
Institutional traders have set up their own ultra fast networks all over Europe just to get a few milliseconds faster than anyone else, and meanwhile our governments are doing fuck all
What the hell is a “Go”?
Who needs competition when you can have two incompetent parties managing all communications in the country? One was hacked and had all of its data stolen by GCHQ, the other can’t even send correct invoices.
Arm Vlaanderen.
Op vakantie in Macedonië 4euro betaalt voor een prepaid kaart met 100GB, geldig voor 2 weken.
This is the same shit as my home country of Canada. Telecom providers operate as a price fixing cartel to keep data service prices inflated. Canada has some of the most expensive phone costs because of it.
We need a company like free to make those prices go down
Also want to remind that is in huge parts because of Promixus and by extension our government.
I often ask myself how it can be legal that they segretate internet providers by commune / gemeente (what is it in english?). When I lived in Brussels my provider was completely shit and I could not change because it was the only one.
What a blatant way to ensure there is no competition to drive up the prices.
That would be illegal anywhere else, so why does this happen ? Because the belgian government owns parts of Proximus, and it benefits Proximus, that’s why.
In Cambodia I payed €4 a month for about 500gb. We can expect prices to be higher here, but where they are at is disgusting.
In the uk you can get everything unlimited for 20 pounds. Source: my fiancée
