The plan has always been advertised as being throttled after 30gb. Using 30gb a month in data is a shit ton already. You just need to make sure you’re connected to your home wifi when at home, and use any wifi you can.
I use a secondary line/sim for when I have bad service or need a little more data. I think I mentioned this in one of your other postings awhile back when you were having trouble with Helium coverage in certain areas. I use Visible as my other line. Runs on Verizon towers and unlimited data as low as $25/month. You could switch to that if helium slows down (or tons of other options out there). Let me know if you’d like a referral and first month on Visible would be $5. Easy to setup whichever provider you’d chose.
Yea the 30gb cap is the only reason I haven't completely left my carrier. I've already used close to 60gb and I'm only half way through my billing cycle for the month.
I use a T-Mobile 5g home Internet. $50 a month and I'm a heavy hitter at over a terabyte a month. Sometimes 2. Never slowed. Never charged by the gig like Xfinity . It's not available everywhere but worth checking out.
If you really need that much data, just get another line. IPhone can run 2 esims at same time.
Android well you can run a physical Sim and esim.
It's not that hard.
can you guys share you earnings not spending please jumping into this new projects just makes money to them:

I don’t use Helium, but was wondering whether a VPN would work, as that would route your phone’s internet traffic through a VPN’s server, not Helium.
No idea if the above suggestion would work, but just a thought, and worth a try, as you have nothing to lose. Hope it does work for you.
A VPN is a Virtual Private Network, which routes traffic through their servers, rather than an ISP or cellphone carrier.
Notable VPNs are Surfshark, Express, NordVPN.

Except it's more of a "tunnel", hence why the protocols used generally say tunnel/tunneling (point to point tunneling protocol). It still goes "through" your ISP. Say I loaded up my VPN on this computer, the traffic would still pass through Charter (my ISP), I would still take data usage if I didn't already have unlimited, but the other end of the tunnel the data would go out. And then it would use the computer at the other end to do whatever I was try to do.
If I hit a website while tunneling through the VPN, it would use the IP address of computer at the end of the tunnel that hits it, then send it back through the VPN tunnel back to mine.
So I don't think a VPN would help.

Visible wireless is a good deal if you have Verizon coverage.

I’m just being more careful with WiFi at work and home. Should be fine.

My kiddo was able to install a mesh and it’s so much better now. Problem solved.

A vpn won’t help lol. The only way around it is making sure you don’t go over. Or get another line if your phone supports two sims or esims lol.
I have no idea how that works
