So what word should they use for such a plan that distinguishes it from the plans where going over your allocated data amount starts racking up data charges at $1 / MB? And would you really be satisfied if the company advertised the plans as "unlimited 3G data with 5G SpeedBoost™ for the first 50GB"? After all, if it's "always" 3G then it's always a certain speed, and surely its not deceptive to give better service than paid for from time to time.
- Dylan16807 2y agoThat would be a fine description for it. I approve of this answer for your question of how to word it. Why do you think I wouldn't be satisfied? The big problem is that the 50GB cutoff is hidden. A cutoff like that is better than a hidden extra charge, but not a lot better. Also, if they had to directly mention the speed they probably would use 3G and that would be a big improvement over the status quo where lots of carriers go down to 256kbps or 128kbps. > surely its not deceptive to give better service than paid for from time to time It's fine as long as you don't give a false impression to someone trying the service. Calling out the 50GB as a different speed avoids that pretty well.
