What? No, you don't get DVD quality. They say that while still under 22GB you might get only DVD quality (fine. I don't care). After that you are throttled.

- sliken 7y agoSeems pretty clear to me, from their FAQ: On the Fi Flexible plan, video streams at the highest available quality. On the Fi Unlimited plan, video may be streamed at 480p (DVD quality). It doesn't say anything about less than DVD. So assuming good signal strength/infrastructure you'll likely get better than DVD for 22GB then "only" DVD after.
- diffeomorphism 7y agoYou are misreading that. - On the Flexible plan, while under your data limit, video streams are at the highest available quality. - On the Unlimited plan, while under your data limit, video streams are at DVD quality, even if you have a very good signal. The throttling is in addition to that: > If you use more than 15 GB of data in a cycle on the Fi Flexible plan or more than 22 GB in a cycle on the Fi Unlimited plan (less than 1% of individual Fi users as of Jan. 2018), you'll experience slower speeds (256 kbps) above those respective data thresholds until your next billing cycle begins. What you are proposing would be completely fine (throttling to DVD speed), what they are actually doing is "throttling so even just reading websites or google searches becomes annoying".
