Long distance was always a massive scam by the phone companies. Glad that's gone (now to do the same with international calls)
And data caps. Like, I get capping at 10 or 100TB on a residencial line, but 50GB cell data or 1TB home data is wack.
Also when you do cap the line, it would make a lot more sense to make the limit dynamic and local.
As in: "you're hogging the connection, let's take a break for now" - and not: "you watched a movie in HD and forgot you weren't on wifi. The logical thing to do is to cut your entire mobile internet connection for a full month, unless you pay us extortion money"
International calls are only expensive if you don't know what you're doing. Just use WhatsApp or any other VoIP provider. Who are you calling on landlines anyway?
Hint for those visiting a foreign country: just get a weekly data plan for like $8 and use Google Voice or WhatsApp to call home. Need an unlocked phone for that though.
