Why do cell phones have a data limit but home internet doesn’t? I understand bandwidth limits, but how can home internet get away with giving users all the data they can use, but cell phone providers can’t?

    That’s more than $1.50 per Gigabyte.
    When you download a game from Steam, most games you literally pay more for the data than for the game.
    Even when you pirate, you pay like $15 for a BluRay quality movie

      You’d be dumbfounded to see what I’ve been able to accomplish using my connection. Terabytes of games archived, I just didn’t have to download nor upload them myself.
