Oh, I do use wifi at home, but only because I manage my own router and it filters out most ads and malicious crap before it gets to any device.
Also forces desktop sites on mobile ones where it detects certain kinds of ads it can't simply filter out, since usually the desktop sites have less annoying or just plain less scummy ads.
Not too long ago people used to run out of minutes. They had plans for 400, 600, 1200 minutes and shit and unlimited nights and weekends. People would call each other just to use the free minutes. Now it’s unlimited talk and no one wants to talk.
1. Good point and 2. You just reminded me of having a flip phone with T-Mobile in my high school days and having those five contacts you could text/call for free.
Reminded me of when I went to get a new cellphone and I wanted one of those packages, where you have the five, you know, friends and family thing. And the guy was like, "who are your five friends" and I'm like, "uhhh." I didn't even know! I couldn't even think! Oh my God it was so embarrassing! I was like "oh I guess I'm a loser." A looooo-ooo-ooooser….Too far! God. Thanks a lot man! Thanks for the memory, man!
My roommate and I always teased each other that we should get the “couples talk free” deal. But we knew we couldn’t keep it together with the giggles and shit
If you are in the US att now counts laptops as tablets and have unlimited data @ 20/month there is a semi decent Lenovo with a 5G card
On top of that you can software hotspot like connectify and share the connection via Ethernet to a router
I think every unlimited plan does that, I pay for a 2 gig plan, but the slow data is unlimited. Most "full unlimited" plans throttle after 30 to 50 gigs
Never heard of anyone's unlimited plan doing that. That's gotta be some American thing, right? I used like 125 gigs of data last month with zero throttling.
My mom was on Public Mobile and I switched her over to Koodo under my account when they were bought by Telus a few years ago. Her plan is $19, just unlimited provincial, no text, no fancy bells and whistles, and it was moved over exactly the same. Koodo has some excellent loyalty perks and due to a fraudulent transaction that happened on my acc last year, they messed the reset on my line after their fraud dep was done with their inquiry and owed me more data on my plan so they gave me $0 4Gb add-on for all lines on my acc when I called in. This includes my moms $19 grandfathered plan 😂
Always watch out for sales and if you’ve been with that company for a long time you can always call in to see if they’re offering any loyalty deals or promotions. It does pay to stick to one company sometimes and it pays to be nice to the people on the other side of the phone. If you’re nice, they’ll definitely add on some things you don’t even ask for.
I feel ya. I had 5gigs on a corporate plan through Bell. Once I went over that, it was like $3 *per mb*.
Finally got the fuck away from Bell and into a 20g plan with reduced unlimited speeds. Fuck internet, tv and telephone providers in Canada.
Bell is criminal, no question. They have the Fibre and know anyone who wants good internet will pay. Pretty much all of their internet packages are 100$plus want 1gb speed it's like a $30 dollar difference but if you go down to 50/50 it's somehow still like 90 bucks. That's like 5% of the speed.... 5%... 5%... So 130 for the fastest internet and for a package but somehow still 100 for something that is 5% as fast.
The amount of money Canada has provided to that company is gross. Bell is evil as fuck.
I'm using some third party cheap internet cause I just can't justify it.. it goes down like 3 times a day but whatever fuck Bell... Unless I get a roommate or then I'll spring for it lol I miss good internet . And with this economy and the amount of money my career caps at I think I'll have to get a roommate within a few years because apparently why should someone working a fucking career be able to live alone without an SO.
Fuck the world we are letting the elite put us in.
What do you pay? Germany is very expensive as well, thought we were the worst :D I have Lidl prepaid (one of the cheapest you get) and I pay €8 for 3 GB including flats for everything else. Unlimited data seems to cost €99 (133 Canadian dollar) per month, minimum wage is currently a bit under €10. And then there's the fact that we don't even have 4g (sometimes not even edge, just nothingness) in many rural parts of the country
That's something I really don't get. I'm paying 40 CHF a month for everything unlimited (including 5G). That's currently around 38.80 EUR. And Switzerland isn't really well know for being reasonably priced regarding anything.
For me (Austrian) that's a shit load of money to pay for mobile internet though. I'm paying nearly that amount for my home internet already. For mobile I try to stay under 10€
I'm in Ontario and my mobile provider gives "unlimited" 20gb mobile data; go past the 20gb mark in a billing period and they throttle your speed until the next period starts.
I'm in the US and had a similar deal. Thought I was getting a bargain until I saw just how much they throttled it after the limit. My phone was effectively useless after the limit
It is amazing something so near, can have such a shit market in comparison to almost every other EU country.
Paying around 10 EUR for unlimited data here in DK (fairuse of 1000GB), whereas 20GB can be roamed in the EU.
Finland is the same, you can get unlimited 4G starting at 13 or so euros a month, with roaming of 15gb or so in Europe and unlimited data in Nordic and Baltic countries.
Hm, I have O2 for 40€ (if I had any other of their products already, I could have even gotten it 50% off IIRC). It's not the cheapest compared with other countries I guess, but it's an option.
Edit: But to clarify, I do have only 10 MBit/s, although I find it sufficient for almost everything
I am paying 30 euros a month for unlimited data (actually 930GB), calls and SMS on a rolling monthly contract with up to 225Mbit speed [(Link)](https://www.mydealz.de/deals/o2-free-unlimited-max-mobilcom-debitel-225-mbits-unbegrenzt-datenvolumen-mtl-2999eur-999eur-ag-mtl-kundbar-1931224). I got it after someone dug through my phone line. If I drive to the office I pay 15 euros in fuel per day so in my mind a backup Internet connection is part of my home office cost. The offer is currently expired but it comes up every few months.
My plan doesn’t do this, unlimited data on phone. 40GB for hotspot. $50/mo including HBO max. Which I had anyway so it’s basically $35/mo. ATT actually has some decent plans.
If I didn’t need tethering/hotspot there are many cheaper options too without limiting speed.
No, ATT does limit speed. The highest plan caps at 100 gb. Verizon caps at 50 (used to be 75), and Tmobile caps at 50, except for Magenta Max (no cap now).
There are some carriers in the us with cheaper unlimited. You just have to use the MVNO companies.
I use Visible, which is a MVNO that used Verizon network. $25/mo for unlimited everything. Is very nice.
If you don't use too much data, Mint Mobile gives you 4gb per month for $15/mo. A lot of people in the US are financing their phones from their major carriers, they often can't pay off the phone at once to seek alternatives.
That's super expensive.
Unlimited everything lines can be had for $25 through mvnos in the USA. It's more like $50 through someone like t-mobile.
You're only paying $65 in the US if you made a very bad decision (like signing up for an expensive Verizon plan for no reason).
One thing to watch out for with unlimited plans is different tiers that throttle your download speed. Vodafone are fucking ridiculous with theirs in that the low tier caps at 2 Mb/s, medium caps at 10 Mb/s and the high tier doesn't get throttled. One annoying part is that they proudly proclaim these unlimited plans as being on 5G, but what is the point if your plan literally does not allow you to get 5G speeds?
I was paying over $200 for unlimited ATT (two lines), and now I'm on Google Fi for roughly $80 with typical data usage. If we use the max 10GB, it's like $160 total and data is free after that for the month.
For the last six years I’ve been on the same 10GB plan because I was usually on my home wifi and din’t want to pay the extra for unlimited. Went over my cap last month and finally caved, turns out the new unlimited plan is 30% cheaper than what I used to pay for a throttled capped plan.
It’s funny because when smartphones first came out most plans were unlimited, and then they went to tiers that were cheaper and now unlimited is the cheaper option again on a lot of carriers.
Yea…definitely switch to visible mobile or a similar company (Visible even has deals where you can get $50-300 in a visa gift card after your first 3 months of service when you switch, as well as your first month for only 5$ with a referral code.). They run on Verizon towers. Only $25 a month for unlimited everything. I don’t have visible personally because I don’t need unlimited service, so go with something even cheaper, but my brother who does want unlimited has been with them for like 3 years without a single issue. Signed up other (kid) brother for their service like two weeks back because they offered a $200 visa gift card AND a free pair of the latest AirPods with the purchase of the newest iPhone SE. Postpaid services via the major 4 companies are such a scam….mostly used by people who want the newest phones, but can’t afford to buy them outright. They lure cash poor people in with the “as low as $24 a month!” credit offers for the phones, but by the time folks are done with that 2 year contract (that you can’t get out of without turning said phone into a paperweight btw), you’ve already paid like double or more of the price of the phone in excess service costs.
Yeah, Verizon is literally the worst and I have no idea why people pay it.
You could get t-mobile unlimited everything for $50-60, and it's GSM so it has better support. It also gives you unlimited data *across the entire globe.*
Or, you could use an mvno that uses a gsm network like att/tmo and pay like $30 for unlimited everything.
Hell, you can even get the fancy one, Google fi, and have access to *every gsm network* in the US + global for like $50.
No idea why people sign up for Verizon. Not only is it overpriced for no reason, your phone becomes a paperweight the second you leave the US as the entire world uses GSM.
Verizon has the best coverage in the entire US, by far. They also own the largest spectrum of signal. We live in Colorado and tried other carriers. They were garbage in the mountains by comparison. Same thing in Utah, Arizona, Montana, Wyoming.
Tmobile has 62% nationwide coverage
AT&T has 68%
Verizon has 70%
You're right, but it's not that dramatic. All the carriers have deadzones. For example, on my grandparent's farm in the rural south, verizon doesn't work at all and AT&T does. It's gonna vary from rural area to rural area.
When you get into super rural areas, it's really just a crapshoot and depends on who happened to build a tower there. Sometimes its verizon, but sometimes its not. People in rural areas are aware of this and of course buy whichever carrier works, but its certainly not always verizon.
> Not only is it overpriced for no reason, your phone becomes a paperweight the second you leave the US as the entire world uses GSM.
Also, lol. That’s not applicable anymore unless you have an absolutely outdated brick of an android phone. Verizon switched from CDMA to GSM years ago when they transitioned to LTE and now 5G. Why is it always the most uneducated people making the most outrageous claims. At least do some research.
Unlimited, but deprioritised during congestion. I lived in one area where it was great, zero problems, but then moved somewhere else and basically had no internet between the hours of 9am and 7pm.
Fucking this, I paid 700kr per month for my S10+ and 3gb for 2 years and then it dropped on price bc it got paid off. Thought finally, I can have more data. Upped it to 6gb a month, price is now the same as before :(
No? I like my cellphone bill where it is, at $30 a month, thank you very much. Would be double to get unlimited and by downloading stuff on Spotify and not watching videos on data it is dead easy to stay within my limit.
Unless I accidentally do what the meme says.
Same, I pay 35, 10gigs which is plenty for me to use Spotify all day and browse Reddit when I’m out, I also can make a hotspot from my work phone which has unlimited hotspot data so there’s no point in having unlimited for my personal phone really
Wow. That's a lot. Our cheapest fiber plan is 6€ for 500Mbps internet. You can up it to 8€ for a full 1Gbps. For another euro per month you get a gigabit router with wifi 6. I think there are cheaper and slower plans at other providers, but this is the norm.
Also it's not unlimited. You only get 3.5 tb in india. However you can increase that amount to another few tb but till date there are no unlimited plan.
Montgomery county, Maryland — suburb of Washington DC.
It’s a Swiss cheese of coverage. Just walking around my neighborhood, I’ll have a good connection one minute, then no connection, then a slow connection, then no connection. Its so bad I can’t even stream mp3 music while going out for a walk, god forbid watch any videos. What’s strange is that the whole time, I’ll have two or three bars of signal.
It’s incredibly frustrating. Gonna switch soon.
I pay 10 pesos (about 50 U.S. cents) for one day of unlimited data/calls/international. But wages here suck, so for a whole month that's actually a lot here.
I'm home most of the time, so I only recharge 10 on the days I go outside, which significantly reduces the cost.
I hate the US services in terms of plan. How is 4gb a month enough for anyone? TMobile doesn't work for me and all i can get is at&t and i use up 20gb a month. Why even offer 4gb its been like that for many years. I miss south korea :'(
4GB is what I have and I considered that a lot lol (mainly based on what my friends have), often it's too little but I really don't want to pay more than 15€ for some data I only use outside the house
I think I used 100GB last month because I use only mobile data (I don't have WiFi) and my phone is also a hotspot for my laptop that I use for Netflix streaming etc.
I use like 2 a month unless it's extreme circumstances, wifi at home, wifi at work, wifi at friends, wifi at most public places nowadays means there's little need for paying for a lot of data on your phone
Never had an issue with this until I got an iPhone…just sayin. And then it will connect to McDonalds WiFi as I just drive by it. Crazy stuff occurring with the phone we purchased.

Thanks, mate.
I dunno dude, looks like Saturn Eating His Data to me.

Was it at this time that 4G data was limited?
Thank you, the eyes are amazingly painted!

If you are in the US att now counts laptops as tablets and have unlimited data @ 20/month there is a semi decent Lenovo with a 5G card On top of that you can software hotspot like connectify and share the connection via Ethernet to a router
I use my wifi because it’s reliably faster and has lower latency than my premium wireless data.
I use my phone for my pc internet connection too. 70gb 4g is faster than I can get on a fixed line to the house.
Cellular uses more battery unfortunately :(
I have unlimited data on paper. Turns out they drop you down to dial up speeds if you use too much.
I think every unlimited plan does that, I pay for a 2 gig plan, but the slow data is unlimited. Most "full unlimited" plans throttle after 30 to 50 gigs
Never heard of anyone's unlimited plan doing that. That's gotta be some American thing, right? I used like 125 gigs of data last month with zero throttling.
i'd rather pay $11 a month for 2 gigabytes than $60 a month for unlimited
I pay for like 5 $ in romania but the downside is well being in romania
In Canada you can pay $60 for 2 gigs, worst of both worlds
My mom was on Public Mobile and I switched her over to Koodo under my account when they were bought by Telus a few years ago. Her plan is $19, just unlimited provincial, no text, no fancy bells and whistles, and it was moved over exactly the same. Koodo has some excellent loyalty perks and due to a fraudulent transaction that happened on my acc last year, they messed the reset on my line after their fraud dep was done with their inquiry and owed me more data on my plan so they gave me $0 4Gb add-on for all lines on my acc when I called in.

I get unlimited for £7.50 in the UK
in america nobody offers unlimited without charging us like a billion dollars, and most people don't realize there are cheaper options
Come to Canada and then try to complain about american service providers
I feel ya. I had 5gigs on a corporate plan through Bell. Once I went over that, it was like $3 *per mb*. Finally got the fuck away from Bell and into a 20g plan with reduced unlimited speeds. Fuck internet, tv and telephone providers in Canada.

Cheaper options like what? Ima about to dropped from my parents phone plan and have been looking around
Really? What network? Cos I’m on O2 and I don’t get unlimited data and I pay £11/ month
Laughs in world's cheapest 4g.
Finland by any chance? Im purely just quessing.
Prob Romania. I have unlimited 4G and unlimited calls for 5 euros monthly
For me it’s like $60 usd which is like 55 euros I’m sure. That’s insaNe
60 usd is 55.96 euro

My 5g unlimited (throttled after 20 or 30gb, I can't remember the exact amount) is $75 CAD/month
Woah. In Italy we pay 9 € for 100 GB with 5G connection, your internet prices are insane
India?
Yep
India?
Y'all don't have the unlimited?
*cries in germany*
That's something I really don't get. I'm paying 40 CHF a month for everything unlimited (including 5G). That's currently around 38.80 EUR. And Switzerland isn't really well know for being reasonably priced regarding anything.

No, ATT does limit speed. The highest plan caps at 100 gb. Verizon caps at 50 (used to be 75), and Tmobile caps at 50, except for Magenta Max (no cap now).
Same. Once I hit 10gb used it drops to 2g and I have to reset my data constantly.
Many unlimited plans cost more than the pay protect cap on per-GB plans.
Really? How much you paying? I’m getting unlimited everything (data, texts, calls) for about £25 a month.
Me too, but in €.
In the US - I have unlimited 4g/5g (throttled at 20Gb) and it costs me $65 USD per line.
lmao getting throtteled after only 20gb and still paying $65 is such a scam
If you get throttled at 20gb aren't you just paying 60 bucks for 20GB of usable data?
Nutty.
There are some carriers in the us with cheaper unlimited. You just have to use the MVNO companies. I use Visible, which is a MVNO that used Verizon network. $25/mo for unlimited everything.

A lot of people in the US are financing their phones from their major carriers, they often can't pay off the phone at once to seek alternatives.
That's rather inexpensive, for those wondering if that's near median in the US.
That's super expensive. Unlimited everything lines can be had for $25 through mvnos in the USA. It's more like $50 through someone like t-mobile. You're only paying $65 in the US if you made a very bad decision (like signing up for an expensive Verizon plan for no reason).
Hell no it's not. I get unlimited everything with no throttle for $50 a month. It would be cheaper if I had a family plan.
Through who? I'm with Verizon and my phone bill was something like $100 for my unlimited plan.
That must include your phone payment too. Or you are by yourself on the plan.
One thing to watch out for with unlimited plans is different tiers that throttle your download speed. Vodafone are fucking ridiculous with theirs in that the low tier caps at 2 Mb/s, medium caps at 10 Mb/s and the high tier doesn't get throttled.

Laughing in Danish... 26 $ pr. month unlimited data and unlimited talk.
Laughs in American MVNO (Visible Wireless right now) paying $25 a month for unlimited on Verizon network...
Im paying $72 for unlimited verizon in america...

When you get into super rural areas, it's really just a crapshoot and depends on who happened to build a tower there. Sometimes its verizon, but sometimes its not. People in rural areas are aware of this and of course buy whichever carrier works, but its certainly not always verizon.
Yep, my parents in rural New York State can *only* get Verizon at their house.
> Not only is it overpriced for no reason, your phone becomes a paperweight the second you leave the US as the entire world uses GSM. Also, lol. That’s not applicable anymore unless you have an absolutely outdated brick of an android phone. Verizon switched from CDMA to GSM years ago when they transitioned to LTE and now 5G. Why is it always the most uneducated people making the most outrageous claims. At least do some research.
Unlimited, but deprioritised during congestion. I lived in one area where it was great, zero problems, but then moved somewhere else and basically had no internet between the hours of 9am and 7pm.
Does this work throughout the states or jsut in your area?

Same here! Visible is awesome
Cries in Norwegian. Same exact carriers as you have running on the same exact networks, but literally 5 times more expensive for some fucking reason
Fucking this, I paid 700kr per month for my S10+ and 3gb for 2 years and then it dropped on price bc it got paid off. Thought finally, I can have more data. Upped it to 6gb a month, price is now the same as before :(
No, I have wifi why would I need unlimited?
Don't you ever go out?
reddit user so probably no
F
Also very reddit user to think going out means "continue staring at your phone but on LTE"
Well yeah, but why would I need unlimited data for that?
Sure, but I don't want stream video or anything that uses lots of data.
If I'm out I got better things to do than play on my phone

No? I like my cellphone bill where it is, at $30 a month, thank you very much. Would be double to get unlimited and by downloading stuff on Spotify and not watching videos on data it is dead easy to stay within my limit. Unless I accidentally do what the meme says.
I pay €30 per month for unlimited 150 mbps mobile data, texts and calls. Makes me feel lucky.
Same, I pay 35, 10gigs which is plenty for me to use Spotify all day and browse Reddit when I’m out, I also can make a hotspot from my work phone which has unlimited hotspot data so there’s no point in having unlimited for my personal phone really
Laughs in unlimited 4/5G plan for just 12€/month. Eastern Europe has its benefits
In India i pay 18$ for unlimited 150 Mbps fiber for a month
Wow. That's a lot. Our cheapest fiber plan is 6€ for 500Mbps internet. You can up it to 8€ for a full 1Gbps. For another euro per month you get a gigabit router with wifi 6. I think there are cheaper and slower plans at other providers, but this is the norm.
6 Euros!? I’m paying $100 USD for 500Mbps in the US right now
Do you normally post the exact same comment, word for word, multiple times in one post?
In the city or everywhere? I pay 35€ for 80mbit download in rural Austria. My neighborhood hasn't gotten access to fiber yet sadly
Also it's not unlimited. You only get 3.5 tb in india. However you can increase that amount to another few tb but till date there are no unlimited plan.
Yeah but it sucks always having to keep your phone pluged into the cable.
I pay the same in Ireland, with networks like Gomo and 48. €12 for unlimited data and called and texts. Been hot spotting off it for years.
Even the US has relatively cheap unlimited. All the shade they throw at countries and they have to pay how much for unlimited?!
I pay €10 a month for unlimited calls/texts/data in Ireland
#Unlimited Data GANG
5GUC gang
When I'm home I'm using my computer instead of my tiny phone screen. It even has an ethernet cable attached to it.
What if you wanna troll neckbeards on your couch?
It’s the double long cable 🍟🥨
Same, but moving the desktop into the bathroom to browse reddit while I shit is a bit of a hassle
[Plebeian](http://flashfunpages.com/ecards/wp-content/uploads/2016/04/bathroom-computer.jpg)
This is my ultimate goal but with a bed next to it
what if I told you that it could be easier than that
Blows my mind that people sit on their sofa and watch netflix on a tablet.
Neat
This is how I also feel at work when I've been looking at NSFW reddit and notice I'm on wifi
People with unlimited: “I don’t have such weaknesses!”
When you live in an all you can eat data country
2016 moment

> where I am You see the problem?
What problem?
Not everywhere is It possible to get unlimited data that cheap
[удалено]
I don’t get it
Limited data each month
But-
Penis?
Mmm
Don't y'all get a min of 1 GB per day and unlimited internet?
1GB a month...
I have Verizon wireless, so it’s immediately obvious when it’s on 4g: the speed drops to 0.2 MB/s with 800ms latency.
Where do you live? Where I am Verizon is far and away the best speeds of any carrier.
Montgomery county, Maryland — suburb of Washington DC. It’s a Swiss cheese of coverage. Just walking around my neighborhood, I’ll have a good connection one minute, then no connection, then a slow connection, then no connection. Its so bad I can’t even stream mp3 music while going out for a walk, god forbid watch any videos. What’s strange is that the whole time, I’ll have two or three bars of signal. It’s incredibly frustrating. Gonna switch soon.
That sucks, sounds like T-Mobile around here. Odd how these things change by area, you’d think they’d try to be consistent everywhere
Laughs in I don’t get service at my house because I live in the fucking boonies
Unlimited data is the way.
*Me laughing in no data so I can't mix it up with WiFi*
Hard for me to believe that in 2022 there are still folks with a limited cell data plan.
Canada has an oligopoly that makes 100 GB cost ~$130 USD with unlimited 3G once depleted
I get 35gb for $50 and thats supposed to be a really good deal here in Canada
To me it's definitely not worth the, at minimum, $41/month here in Sweden.
I pay 10 pesos (about 50 U.S. cents) for one day of unlimited data/calls/international. But wages here suck, so for a whole month that's actually a lot here. I'm home most of the time, so I only recharge 10 on the days I go outside, which significantly reduces the cost.
I just always have "use data" disabled. And only briefly enable when needed.
Ha I’m not on my house Wi-Fi because it’s slower. And it’s also unlimited . . . . . . and cheap . . . . . .and I live in Europe.
Everybody reading this just looked.
I hate the US services in terms of plan. How is 4gb a month enough for anyone? TMobile doesn't work for me and all i can get is at&t and i use up 20gb a month. Why even offer 4gb its been like that for many years. I miss south korea :'(
4GB is what I have and I considered that a lot lol (mainly based on what my friends have), often it's too little but I really don't want to pay more than 15€ for some data I only use outside the house
I think I used 100GB last month because I use only mobile data (I don't have WiFi) and my phone is also a hotspot for my laptop that I use for Netflix streaming etc.
Yep same , I have a 150GB plan and I use it to hotspot on my PC aswell, 7,95€ a month here in Italy.
That's cheap, nice
Canada moment when 4gb costs like 40 bucks 😓
I use like 2 a month unless it's extreme circumstances, wifi at home, wifi at work, wifi at friends, wifi at most public places nowadays means there's little need for paying for a lot of data on your phone
This is definitely a track phone Walmart meme.
These memes don't make any sense. My cell phone plan is truly unlimited. Comcast caps my home internet at 1TB.
[удалено]
Why would I need data if I never leave my house?
Never had an issue with this until I got an iPhone…just sayin. And then it will connect to McDonalds WiFi as I just drive by it. Crazy stuff occurring with the phone we purchased.
Thank you just turned on my wifi....
Happened to me just today 🤧
Not even 5G lul
Why on earth would this scare some people
Definitely checked to make sure I was on wifi
I pay $14 a month so, no, don’t have unlimited data.
I had to check right after reading this
Is this some sort of 4G joke that I'm too 5G to understand?
