    fix pass after the batch check. Internet Speed now states the September 2026 medians the speed page shows (124.12 Mbps mobile, 93.74 Mbps fixed); the higher pair previously quoted is not on the page. SIM Card minutes attach to the 25 euro tier only, as the country prep states. Main Train/Transit Hub cites the bus station's own site for the address, because the Promet questions page shows none. Gyms & Fitness Centers adds the studio's home page for its address. Population adds the town and settlement census pages for the 2021 split. The six purchase price items carry the price map's 28 October 2026 update date; the figures themselves are unchanged.
