Who here rely completely on tethering their unlimited data phone plans for getting on the internet? Any actual downsides?
latency as fuck
>Any actual downsides?
Fair Use Policies. There's absolutely no way mobile ISPs allow for terabytes of traffic per month on a single connection.

Who the fuck uses more than 1 terabyte? At best I used 600gb and that was because 1 download kept failing

I've already replaced my whole landline with a 4G connection, it's 1TB per month and I've just now hit 1.5TB after 4 months.
It's 5 times as fast for the same price and it's stable

Since then, I've moved but stayed on my parents' phone plan because unlimited data. Sadly, I've never been able to replicate those insane speeds anywhere else I've lived since then.

What was she doing to use that much data
>>62316465
I used to when I didn't have broadband. The downsides are wearing out your phone's battery. It drains like a bastard of course, using cellular a lot heats it up too. Other downsides include not fantastic reliability, latency, all the issues associated with cellular connections.

It is when your home connection's ping is 6ms. Fuck, yesterday I was on some restaurant's wifi in London and their connection from like 30 meters away from my phone still had a 5ms ping. They must be on dat dere fibre.

Some of them will limit your speed down to kb when exceeding certain amount
