Family plans just aren't a thing around here. Most people I know have an individual Internet bundle with the majority in the 250mb - 1GB range. Which means that most people only use data for social media, WhatsApp and navigation because anything else and boom your bundle is gone.

Only in the last year or so has it become normal for new plans to have 1GB by default and 2 to 6 GB for the more data-hungry. But it'll be a while before everyone's made the jump because of all the 2-year contracts out there (and ubiquitous free wifi, too). My current plan - 250MB, €30/mo, phone included in plan - is almost coming to an end and I cannot wait when it's April and my €15 3GB sim-only plan starts.
