Is that a typo? I'd go through that much data in about 30 minutes when watching a YouTube live stream.

China Telecom will send someone out to his house if it fails to deliver on its guarantee.

My wife got a new router (AX3000) and is testing out. It supports Wi-Fi 6. Although I don't think the issue is the router, I think the issue is the ISP.

I'm still pissed that I haven't been able to get YouTube live streams to be able to go to my Chromecast. It worked at home when I connected via VPN, made a VPN exception for local network traffic, then cast my entire screen to the Chromecast, such that the device (phone or computer) was receiving the stream over the VPN, then casting to the Chromecast outside of the VPN. One possible solution to this is a VPN router, although I'm still not sure why my devices cannot even see the Chromecast while connected to the VPN. Until I get this flow working, I can't watch YouTube on the big screen TV like I do at home.
