Does anyone else intentionally have no ISP-provided Wi-Fi at home and instead ration mobile data for Internet access? (self.frugal)

I've had no ISP-provided Internet access since Feb. 2023 or so and, while it's been a pain at times, I still haven't caved into returning to the evil monopoly that is Spectrum, so far, and probably won't for as long as I can't land a remote job. ArrowDL, while not perfect, has been pretty good at download management for the most part in conjunction with mobile data-hotspotting.

If someone says they eschew "wifi", I assume they have internet, just no wireless in the home.

Have we gone so low-tech in our vocabulary that "wifi" now means "internet"?! Those are separate things, not a picky distinction.
