I imagine this assumes you pay for a certain amount of data each month? The standard plan I have here in France has unlimited 4G and 5G data and costs me 15 euros a month (I also use them for the home/office internet for 40 euros a month so it is 15 instead of 20 euros for the cell). The cost of visiting a site on moibile under such a plan is essentially zero.

I think I have the same plan as you (Free 10G-EPON + 5G ?), I've seen lots of posts about broadband / mobile subscription and while prices do seems a bit higher than in Europe what shocks me the most is data caps on home internet.

You’re right - the home internet caps are really unbelievable. It’s hard for me to imagine having to think about whether I should be streaming Netflix in the last week of the month in case I ‘go over’ my limit.

The Free Mobile team email me every couple of years to tell me that my mobile 50GB limit has gone up to 100GB and then transformed into unlimited data. I don’t think I’ve ever gone over about 40GB on mobile, anyway, and a lot less than that in the pandemic - but good to know I don’t have to think about it.
