I pay around 5$ for unlimited 4G, calls & texts within the country and a few hundred (can't recall how many) international minutes. I also only pay around 15$ for 1 Gigabit internet, cable TV and a house phone. I have to agree - the difference in prices around the world seems crazy when related to this aspect.

Wow, that’s a little less than a third of what I’m paying for gigabit internet. The variance between countries is huge. I wonder what it would work out adjusted to average income or something for an apples to apples comparison.

It depends I guess, here the average income is 656 euros. Internet and phone services are especially cheap, food and others not that huge of a difference in my opinion (depends where you shop tho). I live in Romania if you wanna research further.
