5. Realize you should have gotten a subscription with an adequate data plan.

6. Get said subscription.

7. Stop worrying.

I'm not aware of any option in this country (edit: the US) that will handle massive use of streaming video. All of the plans without overage charges have a soft limit where they start throttling you.

In any case, I'm not going to pay a bunch of extra money every month just in case I forget about the WiFi.

Most people don't live in countries such as Kuwait where it is normal (and affordable) to watch 4k netflix streams via LTE.

Kuwait? I live in northern Europe, and I have 45GB on my perfectly ordinary ~$27 plan.

In Kuwait the typical mobile plan includes 1TB of traffic.

With 45GB you can watch a mere 10 hours of 4k TV per month.
