Uh, most don't. But 1 Gb is common in cities, while the many villages have at least 100 Mb.
Yes but even then the advertised speed is much lower or variable dependent on local loads. Even in cities it's usually regional cartels and downtime and service issues are not taken seriously.
Also bit vs. Byte.
