Also keep in mind that you can’t update an iPhone via cellular and, as the others pointed out, even if you use your iPhone as a hotspot so your laptop can access the internet this would not be a workable solution for things like an Apple TV or other connected devices like a camera, video doorbell, thermostat, smart scale and on and on. Also, if you own any Sonos equipment you do need a WiFi network and many iCloud features require you to have your iOS device or devices on the same WiFi as your computer. I also think many of these so-called unlimited plans don’t even include the data if you use your iPhone as a hotspot. We don’t have unlimited data plans here in Canada, but I now have a fibre internet connection which gives me 125 Mb download and 10 Mb upload and I certainly wouldn’t want to miss it, LTE cellular isn’t bad and it can be quite fast depending on where you are, but it’s certainly amazing when I updated to the Windows 10 Creator’s Update which I believe is a 3 Gb or more download and the actual download took about 4 minutes and that was while my wife was watching Netflix in the living room as well.

Largely it depends on how unlimitted your unlimitted cell plan is. The thing these days is to tell you it's unlimitted, but once you've past a certain point, to throttle your connection down a few knotches. You're still not being charged for the overage, but you're not using your full connection either. Plus, in many cases cellular data is still slower than DSL or cable net in the first place. Me personally, if I have the option of using wifi, I'll use wifi. It's just generally less of a pain overall. ________________________________ From: [email protected]<mailto:[email protected]> [mailto:[email protected]] On Behalf Of Kramlinger, Keith G., M.D. Sent: May-04-17 3:32 PM To: [email protected]<mailto:[email protected]> Subject: With unlimited cellular plans, do folks usally keep or cancel home WiFi? Hi, I’ve never been on an unlimited cellular plan. Just wondering if folks who are on unlimited plans keep their home WiFi? I’m guessing I would keep it, but the thought of completely cutting cable has some appeal. Thanks in advance, Keith -- The following information is important for all members of the V iPhone list.
