Not sure of your math (or concern) but considering farmers have a $10 billion subsidy for rural internet (never mind roads, education etc) and we directly give $40 billion to farmers (who are not going hungry) maybe we can help poor children? Kudos to Tmob
100G/12months,8.xG/month.

I believe the 100G runs out quickly. Zoom meetings, youtube all need much data.

But thank T-mobile gives help to kids who need a free hotspot.
I think he meant "runs out fast" (quantity) rather than "runs fast" (speed).

He meant Zoom/YouTube consume a lot of data (quantity), not that they need high bandwidth (speed).

Divide by 10 months so 10 gb a month. Maybe a better way of looking at it is 100 gb / 180 school days = 0.555 gb per day But yeah, that could run out pretty quickly.

For the record, the average unlimited data user on TMobile uses 4GB of data per month on their phone. THat's instagram, youtube, sending and uploading and backing up videoes, etc. It's not EVERYTHING, but for education and post work entertainment it should fit the bill fine
