Serious question, does anyone really struggle with staying under their data limit anymore? I pay $28AUD a month and get 85GB, and I use about 20 of that per month?

In America, for unlimited it costs $80 on Verizon. With 5 lines it decreased to $30.

There are other alternatives like Mint mobile, however they are also expensive. 10 GB costs around $20 monthly excluding taxes.

In short, Mobile data is too expensive in the USA.

I pay $65 for unlimited on straight talk, which is on Verizon's network. I could get it cheaper if I gave up tethering or shared a plan.

There are other MVNOs that are even cheaper, for example Mint is unlimited (35GB of 5G then the rest on LTE) at $30 a month.

In Italy I pay less than $10 for about 120GB/month on 5G networks (Iliad).
American plans are generally a lot more expensive. Take a look at ATNT for example.
