   Depends on the plans. With me it's 17G for the phone vs 1T for the   
   ISP. No contest there. And even if one has unlimited phone, many get   
   slowed after an unannounced (20G?) cap. Further, my ISP actually   
   doubled my speed for the crisis period though so far for my use I   
   have noticed no difference in service. But as always YMMV...
