Thanks for your feedback. I was hesitant to add the ongoing Drei promotion. But it's around for a while. I think I haven't really shown that it's sponsored by ads. You need to have another Austrian mobile no. for activation to where they send their ads. Drei only promotes it for tablets and modems. I couldn't verify how they detect it and whether use in smartphones is possible. But knowing Three in the UK, I know they have their ways :-) So for the meantime it's only mentioned for tablets and modems, if you can stand some ads.

From a German point of view the gap between domestic and EU roaming data rates is huge in Austria. In AT roaming data costs 6 times as much as domestic data, in DE some operators sell it for the same price as domestic. Thus, in AT they try to push customers to contracts - in DE probably they prefer to choose LTE availability as a push factor instead.
