>It also ensures better roaming services for travellers. For example, consumers are entitled to the same mobile network quality and speed abroad as at home, where equivalent networks are available.
Interesting. Does that mean up until now operators where able to offer worse access? For example prohibiting access to 4G and keeping roaming units on 2G networks?
I have had some unpleasant experience in Germany where “local” units had access to faster networks than me and my partner.
This should have been in place already, this is just an extension.
Germany was the first to come to mind for me too. Been there a couple of times and the network always feels slow. That saying, roaming never feels like “at home” speeds.
Because 1 corruption politician in Germany was paid to support TV connections over more modern ones and effectively fucked us over in the long run
I wouldn’t even care about speed actually, the data caps should be more fair. Imagine getting 50GB at home and 16GB in EU…
