My guess is that an unlimited plan on your phone doesn't actually pull a lot of data if you just use it as a phone. It's a different story after you tether it

My guess is that an unlimited plan on your phone doesn't actually pull a lot of data if you just use it as a phone. It's a different story after you tether it to your laptop and start downloading entire movies or throwing a 10GB directory into dropbox. Maybe I'm missing something, but that's my guess.
- dagw 16y agoMost unlimited data plans I've seen have some sort of throttling clause, basically stating that if you use more than X GB of bandwidth in a month they reserve the right throttle you to Y Kb/s for the remainder of that month.
- eli 16y agoI think actually that's just T-Mobile. They definitely seem to be the most progressive of the US carriers. Most carriers either cut off your data entirely for the rest of the month, threaten to terminate your contract, or charge you an outrageous overage fee.
