Limited access during self-isolation

In this time of self-isolation it would be a great service to the community if Verizon would remove the restrictions on "unlimited" access.  I have no other real option to increase my access without very high cost, so am unable to stream movies, and 12 days into my monthly "allowance" I have only 10% left.  I'm sure I'm not the only one.

Why is it Verizon's responsibility to foot the bill for your entertainment? There are other less data intensive methods of entertainment. Reading, for example. Downloading a book takes a LOT less data and will provide MANY more hours of entertainment than streaming a movie. Of course, if YOU choose to stream movies, YOU should pay for doing so.

Another option to save on data if YOU choose to stream movies would be to lower the quality, lowering the amount of data you consume.

What about those of us who could give a dirt about streaming a movie, but have two people working from home + one of them also has a university class? We blew through our 15Gb "allowed" data with two weeks left until it turns over. Other wireless companies are offering to ease restrictions for their customers - why not Verizon?

I've never streamed a movie, I use my internet for email, connecting with family and friends via Facebook, banking.  This is NOT "entertainment" but simply a valued part of my life.
