Romenian common experience?

Here on Brazil i was getting 1Gbs for around 22 usd, but due the gangs rising they cut all the cables and no one wants to install here... That on a city over 2 million people.

The gangs.

It's a recurrent problem on Brazil that the international media is hiding due it accelerating in Lula's government, i lost my internet in May, my father who lives close, but more inside of the favela in September last year. That was a problem mostly located on Rio de Janeiro's Favelas, but since 2024 it spread like wildfire towards north of Brazil.
