Seems hugely overpriced (but then I think the same about most US cell phone services - Fi is a total ripoff IMO, almost £8 per GB is ridiculous). Three (in the UK) offer unlimited for £24/mo.

  Yeah, I signed up for Fi prior to heading to France for a couple of months. Since the apartment I was renting didn't have internet access I figured I could get by with Fi by minimizing my internet usage (as I did successully in Mexico this past winter on a pay-as-you-go data plan). Big mistake, $10/GB proved to be untenable. I hunted around a bit and found a service offered by Orange/Sosh: 25 euros per month got me 40GB of data and a pretty snappy 4G+ connection. Naturally I canceled my Fi plan immediately.

I have two legacy unlimited Verizon lines (no throttling but they kick you off permanently if you go over 200GB/month/line). It's more like $100 for the plan (I think this can be slightly cheaper) + another $65 each for the two lines. If anyone is willing to pay a reasonable fee for transfer of liability I am looking to switch to Google Fi with two lines for about $35/month + pay-as-you-use data. On eBay there are all kids of "unlimited data" hotspots for $50 to start + $100/month; I don't know how these people can afford to do it. (Also ones for $5/month somehow but that's even harder to understand.) https://www.ebay.com/sch/i.html?_nkw=unlimited+data https://www.ebay.com/sch/i.html?_nkw=unlimited+data

  >unlimited Am I the only one who's really bothered when telecoms claim unlimited data then intentionally implement artificial limits on every aspect of that data?

    No, but the masses are not complaining. It is as it is most people think I guess. I find it false advertising but apparently not false enough to be illegal. What I find more annoying though that they don't have plans for people who actually want to pay. If I want a subscription for 5TB/month, why can't I pay (as in reasonable, so like it works for other things; if you buy a lot it gets cheaper, not crazy expensive flatrate per mb as it is now) for it even if I want to? I mean I get 25gb for E29/mo here; why can't I just pay E100 for 100gb? (Also the companies are too big; with my local internet provider, a small company, I made a deal that if I pay 1 year in advance for the most expensive sub, they would ignore my usage. Fine with them.)

Here in Russia I'm paying about $6/mo for unlimited data and 100 minutes. But this is legacy plan now, thanks to new regulations.
