Why do cell phones have a data limit but home internet doesn’t? I understand bandwidth limits, but how can home internet get away with giving users all the data they can use, but cell phone providers can’t?

'Member when Comcast was caught illegally using Sandvine in around 2006/2007 to illegally throttle or block BitTorrent traffic?
Pepperidge Farm Remembers.
More recently, they throttled Netflix until they could extort them to pay for the traffic being used by their own customers, who were already paying Comcast for the very same data usage.
What a bunch of arseholes
And morons demanded to know why Netflix wasn’t paying Comcast for using all their bandwidth.
It’s not Comcast’s bandwidth. It’s your bandwidth. That’s what the money is for.
