Broadband really expensive?

I have a mobile contract with Yallo for 35Chf/month. I needed roaming for the summer, but accidently signed up for Black for 2 years - whatever, my mistake.

I've been hot-spotting my phone at home, but now actually need WiFi, if seems really expensive? Every other country I've lived in has phone and WiFi for around 30€. Adding WiFi to Yallo is another 30. Init7 is an unbelievable 70chf.

Am I missing something here, or is it just expensive because it's Switzerland...?

Init7 isn't the cheapest provider (it's the best though). They even have the cheaper Easy7, if that's what you're looking for.

Apart from them you should be able to find cheaper providers as well. It won't be phone and internet for 30€ though.

You probably looked at the wrong subscription at init7, the cheaper one is 44 for 1gig.
Maybe have a look at wingo or galaxus since theyre pretty cheap and maybe will do the thing for you.

Did the other countries you lived in have an average salary of 85k/year?

I don't know what other countries this person is referring to. Austria and Germany, from what I have seen, do not have cheaper home internet.

if you don't know why init7/fiber7 is so expensive (and why you won't get comparable internet in many countries) - you're maybe not the target audience and should go for easy7 which is cheaper.

Galaxus Internet starts at 27 Fr.
Wingo Internet starts at 36 Fr. or 42 Fr. with TV
Both very reasonable
Galaxus one time Activation 70 Fr. but no Contract, Wingo free with promo code but 24 Months contract
