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.~~ Update: I'm now using AB Download Manager to mitigate download cancellations at the throttled speed.
