They do shit like this and get away with it because it's slim pickings for a plan that has phone, internet, and most importantly no data cap. All carriers suck at one of those three.
I'm using Cricket wireless. $45/mo gets me unlimited internet on my phone with a 15gig hotspot.
I'm all physical media, but if I need to download something, I do it on my phone (sorry, seeders) and transfer it over to my PC to watch on my TV.
Lmao I'm amazed cricket still exists. I remember using their shitty USB internet sticks 15 years ago.
There's a small profit to be made administering a plan on a common carrier while the bigger operators. rake in the big money from idiots permanently leasing a fucking cell phone.
