Ulimited LTE? Haha very funny. I literally hit my cap just doing a speed test lol. Only reason I even have data on my phone is because it's needed for certain things to work like sending pictures via text. Thankfully it does not count towards your cap, but you still need the service. I use data if I'm really stuck but I can't really use it for anything serious due to the cap. Sad part is my LTE is faster than even my home wired internet. I get over 100mbps over LTE. Can blow that cap in less than a minute if I sustain that speed.
Canadian cell plans are to US cell plans as US cell plans are to Euro cell plans.
Funny thing is they spend so much money on the infrastructure here when it's not really needed, what's needed is better plans. The service itself actually works great, it's the plans that are the problem. Even 5G is not needed, LTE is more than enough speed, that money should be going towards rural internet instead. I guess the goal is to provide 5G as the main internet, but that's not really usable when you have a 750MB cap.
My Nephew was like you, he averaged over 60GB a month all through high school. He's dropped down to under 5GB now that he's in college.lol @ 750MB. At one point a few years ago I was using 60GB a month by myself on my data plan.

That's crazy, and I hope that doesn't happen to me with Google, when I move to NC.I probably use less than 5GB now, at the time I was tethering for work because my internet upload speed was crap at the house I bought and I was working remotely. We bought the house after confirming with the local ISP that they could provide Gigabyte internet service(I even had them send someone on site to confirm), then they showed up and told me they couldn't service the house, only the neighbors 30 ft from me across the street could get it... But I was told not to worry because they could put in a work order and get it run to my address. How long would this take I ask? "Well they are back logged but it will be done within the next 1-3 years!" The week we were moving out they were digging up the street running the cable to our development. Fuckers.

My cell plan charges $20/month extra for tethering. I use a work-around, but most folks I bet have to pay extra to tether.Who uses public wifi these days? All the super fast unlimited LTE there's no need.
Plus the security risks. I know there's ways to fix that but the average joe isn't going to do it.
