Ha!
Here in Norway the two major telcom companies have their starting plans at 269 NOK (~$30) which are for 2 and 3 GBs of data.
​
An unlimited plan with full speeds costs 699 NOK (~$75) from both companies.

It seems any company can be considered a startup as long as it is privatly owned.

Then why mention the household at all if it is just per person.
That’s like me saying “household income per capita” and then saying “no it’s not average household income it’s income per person”. If that were the case I should just say “income per capita”

> Annual household wastage (kg/capita)
The per capita here is per household, not per person.

This is per household though, not per person.
​
The average household in Nigera consists of 5.06 individuals, whereas in Sweden it is only 2.17 individuals.
​
On this graph Sweden appears to waste roughly 80kg of food per household, and Nigeria wastes roughly 190kg per household.
However, divide that per person in each household and Sweden is wasting 36.9kg per person and Nigeria is wasting 37.5kg per person.
​
The graph seems to imply that Nigerians waste 2x more food than Swedes, when actually there is almost no difference.

$155 a month is not bad considering it’s 10gbit/s
I’m currently paying $130 for 1gbit/s
It’s really only the installation fee that’s the main barrier.

Well it’s unlimited in that you can use unlimited data past 100GB at no extra cost, but yeah the speed throttling is very annoying. I believe the US has it similar though and most of their ‘unlimited’ plans throttle you after 25-50GB.
