Smart message, hopefully it is received at the cell phone companies. I noticed TMobile is going to give everyone unlimited internet for a couple months whether you have that plan or not - but they didn't say if they were going to avoid shutoff's for no pay.

For cell phone companies physics is an actual limit, you can have multiple cables laid to improve bandwidth but radio spectrum is only one. You can of course keep making cells of the wireless network smaller and smaller but if you go so small that say each house/apartment has personal one you have invented wi-fi basically.
