I guess they are sweeping GUDP lines now for data-only devices and sending termination letters. I've had that setup since early 2014. Been pulling over 1000GB/month for years too. No throttling, no caps either. I'm fighting them best I can, including an FCC complaint but it's not looking good. Starlink has been superior I just wanted both tied together in a load-balanced or failover config since Starlink doesn't like trees much.
I reckon that's why I got Starlink because I had read where the cellular routers were getting swept and terminated or threatened to be. I hate to pay the $110 a month year round because I won't use it at home, plus it's now $25 extra when you roam. But I HAVE to have it on the road so we will do it until something better comes along. They did just announce an RV package a couple days ago that lets you pause the subscription when not using it, but it's $135 a month plus you are de-prioritized when traveling.
