There are times when bandwidth is all that matters and cost is, at best, a secondary factor. Say you’re a filmmaker or journalist trying to upload your latest footage from out in the boonies—or from a boat. Maybe you work in security and need to set up net-connected equipment and surveillance right now without waiting days (or weeks) for an ISP to get back to you. Maybe your main office has been flooded and you’re set up in temporary digs until the walls dry out and carpet gets replaced…but the new place has no bandwidth.
