They make it difficult but I've done it for over a decade. They incentivize by offering no data cap if you use their bs router.

However, once you learn how much data is collected/sold about you from the router level you won't want to go back.

Yes, this is why I switched over to their modem-router, I was starting to hit their caps every month and it was costing me a lot of money.

I really don't care if they monitize that my live-in mother-in-law streams game shows all day.
