I made a long post countering all your points, but in the end, I know it does not matter. You have insulted me, so I no longer want to help you or even talk to you. Goodbye.
Since this OP, I have switched my Cox Mobile service to "unlimited" which is throttled at "20 Gigabytes" each month.
I've been unable to determine whether data usage is measured in Gigabytes (GB) 1,000,000,000 or Gibibytes (GiB) 1,073,741,824 by Cox Communications or Android devices. "Gigabyte" is often a colloquial term used when people mean GiB. Gigabits are in powers of 10, so it would stand to reason that Cox is using the actual Gigabyte in powers of ten to match data usage with the signaling rates they advertise.
Also it seems extremely inconvenient to properly use an Android smartphone without regularly connecting it to WiFi. I suppose that they could be configured to do without it, but it would be onerous, because there are many settings not only in the system, but also in individual apps, and even more onerous if I needed to find change them all, more than once in the lifetime of the device itself. One of the main issues I've found is that uploads and streaming defer to WiFi. My Google Drive uploads often fail if I'm "out and about".
It occurs to me that my use of streaming itself may be frowned upon, because my primary streaming provider is Google, who compete with Cox Communications in this space, and Cox would also rather provide TV service to my home, and has an interest in blocking/throttling/hindering streaming services that are not originating in Cox's television or backbone network. This is an ongoing "Net Neutrality" question.
I hope that Cox and Verizon are both accepting that Cox customers use our Panoramic WiFi instead of Mobile Data. Honestly I wish that at home, I could plug in an Ethernet cable to every device and stop using the quite-congested airwaves. I've already disabled the 2.4GHz network because there is so much local interference. My devices can all see dozens upon dozens of neighbors' SSIDs broadcasting. I can't imagine how many devices on the cell-towers. There are maximum 1-2 bars of 4G or LTE reception from inside on good days.
