I pay $30 / month for my phone bill. That's it. I don't use a lot of cell data, but I have more than enough for some light streaming, GPS, price checking, etc. When I'm not at home or the office (on wifi).

Oh, and there's no arbitrary limitation on tethering either.

Yes, competition is delightful, but sometimes you actually have to try.

I pay $10 / month for the same. And when I was in the UK, I paid less than $30 a month for unlimited data.

You don't know what competition is.

In this case, the differentiator between my current option and the lower cost ones is the level of cell service living out in the sticks (aka 45 minutes out of the metro area). More would be nice, but rural life typically has fewer options.

That is really changing though, on all fronts, as technology does.
