What are you smoking? Every one of Verizon's plans that have caps identical to this are "unlimited"
With a hard throttle there is no way a user could burn 200GB a month over LTE, but with deprioritization you still get full LTE speeds on most cell towers.
Actually meant "WILL unconditionally throttle you after 1 bit more than your quota, even in an evacuated area at 3am, to 128 or even 64kbps".
Like, email and even google maps, no problem. Facebook perfectly usable although with some lag. I didn't bother trying to watch videos.
I have been curious if the usability of "throttled" speeds differs between carriers.
Uh-huh. Missing video means the service is unusable.
Yeah, quality gets awful at that speed. For reference, the 'unlimited 480p' type of feature is six times that fast, 1.5Mbps.
If my phone throttled to 2Mbps, it wouldn't affect me very much. 0.25Mbps is not acceptable.
The top couple percent of T-Mobile USA users use over 50GB of data a month, mostly on unlimited plans without hard throttles. An "unlimited" plan that hard throttles at 22GB of usage is decietful given this context, hence all other carriers not using hard throttles on Unlimited plans.
All 4 major US carriers would brand this plan as a 22GB plan with no overages.
