There's no reason to make this a personal comment.

Regarding your actual point, I've had a 100GB limit for the past 5 years (since I got an iPhone 6), with a 4G connection.

Meanwhile Google Amp has existed for less than 3 years and already has massively widespread adoption. Technological change happens so rapidly that it's rarely a technical issue when something like this exists.

Congratulations. Almost every other person does not.

GP's point that historically, people have had data cost issues, (and still do today, unfortunately) still stands, and it makes sense that they would have those switches somewhere.

Unfortunately, those switches aren't easily configured at times.

I've got 1GB per month. I don't want apps downloading shit for me.
