*puts hand up* I pay per call and per SMS and I have unlimited data (speedcapped at 10MB but honestly it goes up to 5GB on the reg b/c it bounces me from network to network so the data cap is more of a suggestion). My base bill is 12€ + whatever I spend on text messages and phone calls.
For context, the next cheapest option that has unlimited calls and texting and unlimited 10MB data would be ~25€ and I have no reason to switch b/c my bill doesn't go over 20€ basically ever unless something has gone horribly wrong and I spend all day on the phone trying to fix it.
Speedcapped internet is the norm in many places, which... IDK if that's a good thing, but considering how much of Signal's userbase is in SEA countries, that's probably the markets they looked at when deciding on what kind of infrastructure to use.
