Does anyone else intentionally have no ISP-provided Wi-Fi at home and instead ration mobile data for Internet access? (programming.dev)

I've had no ISP-provided Internet access since Feb. 2023 or so and, while it's been a pain at times, I still haven't caved into returning to the evil monopoly that is Spectrum, so far, and probably won't for as long as I can't land a remote job. ArrowDL, while not perfect, has been pretty good at download management for the most part in conjunction with mobile data-hotspotting.

Because the question made no sense since wifi is free, and has nothing to do with internet.

So you're just dumb or playing dumb to make a stupid point?

Words have meaning, don't change the meaning and expect to be understood properly. At the end of the day, it's your problem when you're given wrong advice and screw things up because you didn't understand the proper terminology, and the stupidly fought people who tried to correct you so you.

Home wifi means home Internet you ass, and you know it. Touch fields of grass.
