I'm forced to pay for Spectrum cable internet, and I'm not the only one.

The 5GB/month is a big drawback for me. I would blow through that in a couplenof days.

I set my phone to auto download playlists and podcasts on WiFi, so it isn’t really a problem. I think there was one month when I had to buy extra data so far, and that still ends up being cheaper than being on a plan with more data.

I rarely break 1GB/month given how often I’m on WiFi, and I don’t stream anything on my phone (purchased music collection works just fine). I get that’s not how we’re encouraged to use phones, but it suits my needs.
