Yes, historically there have been a lots of competition in Riga, lots of small ISPs, so prices are cheap compared to the rest of the world. And in phone I mostly don't use WiFi too, as unlimited mobile broadband is cheap too (I pay around 50 EUR per month for three numbers, everything unlimited).

wow, sounds like you’re paying 5-10x less for mobile/internet than most service providers in Canada

Starlink makes sense on countryside, where it competes with mobile broadband. It's more expensive, but faster. But in Riga I pay 11 EUR per month for 100 Mbps wired Internet in a flat, makes no sense to use Starlink, besides latency is higher.

They aren't competing to provide cell service 🤦‍♂️

You love fiat. You must think Keynesianism means more competition 

Competition is always good, more competition in telecoms will improve quality and reduce prices for end users.

counting the days until you retards lose enough bitcoin to finally shut the fuck up. you are spiritually pure fiat, or a bsver, you just don't know it yet
