How much is your phone bill?
I was wondering the same about you Nebz
That’s pricey without a phone included.
I do. Most of our plans are completely focused on data anymore, I don't actually think you can get plans without unlimited calls or texts (maybe some prepaid plans). Although most of our plans are very expensive and there are all sorts of fine print terms. E.G. Verizon's unlimited laptop data plans are capped at 30GB of data and many phone plans offer unlimited data that is slowed after so much usage.
Ah i meant pricey more in the sense it’s not even something i’ve ever looked into as it’s not necessary for meThats cheap for over here.
Also I don't pay for home broadband/internet myself, my partner does.
Just like in the UK that I don’t think you can get plans without unlimited texts and calls anymore
We have broadband at home and it is truly unlimited. Well... I'll get back to that. It has unlimited data and is quite fast, we have their mid-tier 500mbps plan and it is good enough. The price is a bit high, but pretty average for the area. The issue they have is that they require you to use their modern (you can buy your own that works from their approved list, but they have openly admitted that they will brick it with a bad firmware update around the one-year mark) and theirs is pretty cheap. So you have to restart it (we have a timed weekly outlet for it) or your speeds start to drop off.Just like in the UK that I don’t think you can get plans without unlimited texts and calls anymore
And yea that fair use policy makes sense. I used to have T-mobile back in the day and data was unlimited but throttled after 500MB usage per month.
Throttling speeds has stopped in the UK due to claims of misleading advertising over “unlimited” data.
And wbu, do you have home broadband? Does your home ISP throttle speeds following a certain data usage?

Do you feel a nerd for unlimited mobile data?
As for broadband, you know what i meant XD I assume your partner doesn’t have unlimited mobile data? Even so, without broadband have you considered he can hotspot off you?
I have a mesh wifi network that has eliminated all dead spots in my house as well as improved speeds from a distance. I do this with home broadband though, mind you. I'm on the EE network with 4G and speeds are just as good as home broadband, with upload speeds often significantly higher surprisingly on mobile data than home broadband.Hotspot internet from a cell phone isn't as reliable as having a wired home connection. You get what you pay for so if you want to cheap-out and try to use your cell phone internet to power your entire household (3 people live here), good luck with that.
