Given the capacity constraints of an LTE air medium, try torrenting multiple 85GB 2160p60 hevc copies of Blu-ray movies for a whole month, or just seeding debian dvd iso images, and see how long your unlimited plan remains live...


I'm doing that. Fewer torrents (still some), more large files (training data, databases, raw media) or large collections of small files (e.g. Backblaze backups). My monthly data usage for the SIM I used for my home connection is (this month) 809.26 GB, with 6.79 TB so far this year. If I get a drop in speed or network degradation, I can more or less rely on my provider to fix that within a week, if the issue is with the base stations I connect to. This is a fully supported use case for the plan I'm on.
