Tele2 Sweden "Unlimited" - 50 GB/day @ $50/month. Works very well as a replacement for FTTH in rural areas.

But the prices in e.g France, eastern Europe and Taiwan all put us to shame.

UK is probably the cheapest market relative to GDP per capita. Three offers unlimited data, calls, texts and roaming with no throttling including 5G for £17/month.

Actual competition is a hell of a thing. I'm pretty sure there are some backroom price fixing agreements between the Swedish operators, the profit margins wouldn't hover around 30-40% if there wasn't.

There were some dawn raids on these companies last year by EU antitrust authorities, but they didn't find any actionable evidence. :/

The US/Canada prices are usually justified by low population density and high cost of living.

But, uh, Sweden has a higher cost of living, and a lower population density.

Huh? That doesn't sound right, so I googled it.

Sweden has a population density of 23 people per square kilometer, Canada has a population density of 4 people per square kilometer.
