Who needs 25mbits to their phone?

I already live without it (by a long shot) and am not sure what I'd do
with it if I had it except rack up huge overage bills a week into the
month.  Well, not really but that's because I honestly have no use for
that kind of speed to my phone.  What am I supposed to do with that? 
Go to the park and watch Netflix in 4K on my 2K phone screen?

The irony of such speeds in North America (Canada in particular) are
ludicrous usage limits that we have and how quickly we'd use up our
minuscule data alottemnt with such speeds.  But then again, overage
fees are what are paying the bills over at the mobile companies.
