What is the difference between cellular data being used on my phone and cellular data being used on my notebook? Data is data.

    The carrier who’s paying for your traffic. You’re most likely going to use a lot more data on a computer than actually on your phone.

        I mean let’s be real, it’s incredibly complex and amazing technology. Borderline magic. And depending on where you are, yeah consistently using large amounts of bandwidth can and will impact other users.

        So a policy like this makes sense, to a point. It’s when they auto charge you for hitting a “limit” that grinds my gears.
