Internet only account is a disappointment
I just cancelled my Internet-only account because it's a joke. After the allotted data, it goes to a crawl. It cannot even compete with the 56K modem in the 90's. I switched to Xfinity for now.
You must have had one of the "lite" accounts that are capped at 100GBs high speed data transfer. That limit is easy to hit in a few days if you watch movies in 4K, as I do. The unlimited plans don't do that, but they're limited in the number of subscribers allowed in each neighborhood, so as not to overload traffic on a given tower. If unlimited service ever opens ups to you (this can happen after they upgrade towers near you), you wouldn't have the high speed data caps. But I'll agree, the Lite plan is primarily for people who need email and light internet browsing. If you stream much, there's not much reason to have it.
