> unlimited high-speed internet are requirements for participation in society
I pay $7/mo (not a typo) for 1GB mobile data via US Mobile, and I have never hit that cap in many years. I just don't stream video or audio unless on WiFi, which is not a hardship. Respectfully, what on earth are you talking about?
Well, I have to wonder what you are doing on your phone. I don't restrict my usage at all outside of video and audio streaming, so I'm befuddled as to how you use 10-50 times more data than I do.
Last month, 429MB used:
107 YouTube music
91 Google maps
70 Firefox
22 Amazon
Miscellaneous other small amounts
WiFi usage 26GB
I don't doubt that you use a lot of internet, but that amount is far away from a "requirement to participate in society" .
My monthly mobile internet usage is 5-25GB. And this is me working from home using wifi, having cheap internet (slow, but unlimited) and barely being outside. Phone wifi usage is 150-250GB/month.
