My country has some of the best internet in the world now that I think of it… just didn’t realize none of that was that common elsewere, here you can go to a corner store, as in they sell groceries, and buy a sim card for 1usd, then activate it, and put money on it with cash at that same grocery store, or pay fully online, not so long ago, you didn’t even needed an ID to activate those.
Oh you know, they are given free reign because 🇺🇸
Internet pricing/speed isn’t great either.
