That's one point of view, but you just banned unlimited-on-your-phone plans that a lot of people presumably enjoyed. If they change them to simple unlimited plans, you'll be popular. If they only offer limited plans now, you'll be unpopular.

They would never get rid of unlimited. It's marketing gold.

No one banned unlimited, you suggested.

We have a number of mobile services in the UK who explicitly offer routers with WiFi slots for replacing your home broadband with unlimited SIMs. I have used them in the past to replace the wired internet when there has been line maintenance that took out the broadband for a couple of days.

4G alone can get you a nice stable 100Mb/s.

You seem to be defending a shitty deal that happening in North America, without any clear reason.
