I know post-docs that technically fall into this category. Why would they pay for a connection at home when they have perfectly workable mobile internet and 10gbit+ internet at work?


> Students without internet at home are more likely to be students of color, from low-income families or in households with lower parental education levels.

I don’t think the situations you allude to quite fall in this category.


Ctrl-F "tether"...nope.
