Before, it’s actually just X GB data, you run out, you have nothing.
Then later it became “Unlimited, X GB of 4G/5G Data*” with a huge asterisk
Then in the fine print:
*After X GB is exceeded, speeds is reduced to 128 KB/s
Which is just a fancy way of saying: X GB Real data, after that we’re just trolling you with the unusable slow as molasses “data” and trying to get you to buy more data.
This is because these are the older, cheap plans. Like these plans could be anywhere from $15 to $30, per month. The real unlimited plans are not gonna be cheap.
Right now, I pay like $60 /month to have unlimited data + unlimited hotspot at reasonable speeds (like 15-25 Mbits up/down if its not congested) I do have wifi at home, but that’s a family network that don’t trust (long story, but I have trust issues with family)
In the US, its a common thing.
