No, it's not reasonable. T Mobile is at $70 for 50gb, $1.4 per (at 50gb they change your priority; on the surface they claim unlimited data of course).

To make proper comparisons on prices paid between countries, you need to consider income levels in the country in question, not just the price unto itself.

I think that calculation omits a critical number: how much data you actually use. If you pay for 50GB but only use 5GB, your price per GB is effectively 10x. With Fi you will never pay for more than 10 / GB used, but you will pay less if you exceed 6GB in a month.

Further, you don't pay in GB "blocks". I used 1.021 GB last month so I paid $10.21, instead of $20 like you may expect.
