Why would you pay $30 for unlimited data and then pay another $50 a month on top of that for a second unlimited data? Unless you are running a bunch of servers for people outside of your LAN, what is the point?

    Don't know about US, but where I live, the "unlimited mobile Internet" is always "fast connection up to X GBs used, then you slow down to a crawl where loading a text-only website takes three minutes, but you're still technically not limited and can access the Internet" kind of deal.

    Not sure exactly what they go with but it's never been a problem even downloading several big games from steam. I suppose if you want TBs a month you may want to look into the fine print.

    I'm laying out what I think are reasonable options that folks would want. Unlimited cell phone data for $30 paired with a steady, low latency cable line for $50 seems to be a combination that most folks could use.

    It's definitely not optimized for saving money. You could save a lot of money if you wanted to focus on that. Helium mobile has a free 3gb/month plan, no credit card needed. For home Internet you'd be at the mercy of your local ISPs, but I'm sure there are more affordable plans that could be picked.
