Comment on Why do cell phones have a data limit but home internet doesn't?

For cell / mobile phones, you’re sharing the capacity of the cell among multiple people.

In this example, a rural cell tower can provide up to 395Mbps.

It would only take 40 people watching Kayo at high definition (or any high definition video service) via their phone or a 4G router to saturate this tower.

For everyone else at this time, it’ll still work but even though they might have a strong radio signal (lots of bars), the internet will become slow.
