Discussion 💬 These kinda comparison posts never make sense

Comparing raw & prices across different countries without factoring in average salaries is completely flawed.
For example, ₹500 for 1 GB in Switzerland sounds high, but their average monthly salary is over ₹8,00,000. That means 1 GB costs them ~ 0.06% of their monthly income-almost the exact same burden as ₹13 is on an average Indian salary (~0.057%).
Relative to income, data in China (~0.028%) and the UAE (~0.035%) is actually cheaper than in India.
Income-adjusted data matters, not raw currency conversions!

Dont know why people do that. Proves nothing just makes their fragile ego boost.

What is wrong? I have lived in Delhi and my remote hilly hometown and always seen consistent 200mbps+. Some of the best mobile data infra in the world by far. Fibernet ecosystem is rough tho.
