    What a wild world… Lived in the US my whole life… Figured I could do better else where so I left.

    Now for internet I pay $22 a month and get symmetrical 700mbps…

      I was looking at prices today, turns out I can get a symmetric and uncapped plan in Brazil that costs 1/5th of what I pay in the US. It’s a fucking cartel.

        Yeah but minimum wage is 80$ / month and you have to choose between betting shop and internet every month. Like some kind of real life adaptation of “Papers, please”
