Apple Event: May 7th at 7 am PT
My home internet provider’s supplied router wifi speed was s curently measuring 7mbp when using netspot. I’m trying to get the provider to troubleshoot it but in the mean time since my cellular data is free shouldn’t I be able to use that medium for the iPhone backup? Why the restriction?

Probably because the cellular carriers would go ballistic over transferring multiple gigabytes of data over their network on a regular basis.
Not to mention the fact that cellular data is not "free". You pay for it. If you have "unlimited" data, there is undoubtedly a cap on how much high speed data you get before they slow you to a crawl.
No. iCloud backups require a WiFi connection.
since apple restrict downloads to be over 150MB then one can only assume that goes for updates
My wifi is not a good connection at home and Since I have an unlimited data plan through my cellular provider I was wanting to change that, but sounds like that is a non-configurable option. Thanks.
What do you mean your WiFi connection is not good? Fix your WiFi network.
Can i change Auto backup to use cellular data instead of wifi?
