You're hung up on the flow of data, rather than my point which is having the connectivity in the first place. Pure data costs really are trivial - plans with different caps are simply a way of segmenting customers.

I'm also not understanding the difference between "wanting to pay for a group plan that's only big enough to avoid saturation" and "paying too much for data we're not using over multiple devices". They seem to be two different ways of referring to the same thing.

Does cellular data service become fairly priced for everyone else if I -single handedly- drop my service? I wasn't saying that. I was saying that since you were implying that you don't use cellular data, just drop the plan and move wholly to wifi. It was a solution to your stated problem.

I also said that of course that wasn't the case - which was why I then talked about connectivity rather then simple ones and zeroes.

Is wireless data priced correctly? How long is a piece of string?
