What is the difference between cellular data being used on my phone and cellular data being used on my notebook? Data is data.

The carrier who’s paying for your traffic.

soooo...... what's with the monthly bill then?

I mean let’s be real, it’s incredibly complex and amazing technology. Borderline magic. And depending on where you are, yeah consistently using large amounts of bandwidth can and will impact other users.

So a policy like this makes sense, to a point. It’s when they auto charge you for hitting a “limit” that grinds my gears.

And I’m sure we can all acknowledge what would happen to prices if there were zero restrictions. A top budget blogger tip would be “stop paying for your expensive broadband service! Plug your phone in and tap “hotspot” in settings to save $50-$100 a month.“

Normies (grandmas using Facebook, not WFHers/gamers) would be frivolous to pay for two “equivalent” Internet services.

(Before you think me a corporate lobbyist, know I submitted a complaint to the FCC when Comcast first implemented broadband bandwidth caps in the USA. Saw that BS in Canada.)

Less than it would be if they expected you to go full ham 24/7.
