google fi for the past decade has given me exactly this, with top speed data connectivity at $10/GB no matter where.

Italy here: I'm paying 10€ per unlimited calls and 60gb/months. Looks like we are cheaper than India!

You can easily get a prepaid SIM with 3 GB of LTE for 10€/month in Western Europe. 5+ GB is possible if you're willing to go with one of the less extensive networks (e.g., Vodafone), or if you're willing to sign a contract (i.e., not prepaid).

There are many places (outside US) where you can get 200MBit for $10 or so.
