Clearly I am a dick, for turning off the wifi.
Some background info I am on capped data. 150/150 Get 100 gig promotional and 50 gig anytime.
Currently looking after my brothers kid's 10 and 14 for the next 3 weeks. When he dropped them off this weekend, I still had promotional data left 37 gig promotional data left, shared the wifi password with him, after two days there is 16gig left. The promo data I don't care for much it will expire next week anyways. I do care about normal data which only expires every 2 months. So basically have 50gig that carries over so end of each month I always have 50gig(total 200gig) carry over want to keep it that way for when I need it. Especially when I start uploading work stuff, that can amount to 4-5gig an upload a day some times twice a day 3 or 4 times a week. Which means it can start eating the data very quickly which is why I try not to go over the promotional data cap. I still lose 50 gig of the normal data as only 50 gig carries over each month, but I always have an extra 50gig for when I need it.
Additionally I don't buy extra data, I can't afford it, if the data is finished, it's finished till the next month period. I prefer losing data than running out of it. I have experienced it way too often, if I feel like playing or watching some youtube or playing counstrike I want to do it without having to worry about data cap.
Anyways he decided to share the wifi password with the kids, which I was unaware of, found out this morning, when I checked the data usage and how much is left. They have used more data in 2 days than what I use normally in an entire week. I stream a lot of youtube and anime on my tablet at 360p to 480p, which on a small screen is perfectly fine and happy with and I get to watch quite a bit more as a result.
Any ways the 14 year old managed to use close to 5gig watching tik tok crap in a span of 3 hours. Unfortunately the wifi router can't limit the amount of data.
Next week I will be getting a sim and placing it in an unused mifi lte modem I have and datashare 10 gig on it so that they can speak to their dad because he is flying for work over seas and will allow him to contact them via messenger. Whatsapp ect.
If it is finished, it's finished no longer my problem.
So yeah I am a dick..........If you are on capped data that means you have to be a dick.
