Just decided to check an ad on YouTube, and yeah, it’s a scam as I should’ve expected.

As for the speeds in ToS

However, please note that for unlimited mobile internet data plan Subscription users internet speed throttling will be applied. That means that You will either:

(a) receive 15 GB of data at full speed, after which the speed will be reduced to 256 kbps for the remainder of the 1-month cycle; or

(b) receive up to 1 GB of data at full speed each day, after which the speed will be reduced to 256 kbps for the remainder of the day.

They also say something along lines of “people pay $600 for data in 6 months, our unlimited data costs just a fraction of that”, and yeah, I suppose 9/10 is a valid fraction.

Also, email us to cancel subscription?

    i will never comprehend why corporations have to be so actively spiteful towards their users, would it really kill them to just throttle to something reasonably usable? You’ve already got me paying the most expensive subscription you have, what the fuck more do you want?

      How about minimum priority? Just splitting what’s left over.

      Perhaps you’d get just 256kbps during the day depending on the load, but at night there’s typically far more unused capacity.
      Some carriers do actually do this, but not many.

        I hate to sound like a shill, but I know this is how T-Mobile’s home internet works. Home internet modems have the lowest priority on the network but can use as much as they can guzzle when network utilization is low.

        well yeah but that should just be an emergency thing for everyone when the network is actually congested, what i’m talking about is the unlimited plan having 15gb of high speed data (say 200mbps), and after that the speed just goes down to something normal like 10mbps.

          My current plan drops to 1.5Mbps after 40 GB of full speed. I haven’t ever used all of my data to see if it’s usable though.

            1.5Mbps is perfectly okay for most things bar watching videos and downloading files.
