> I use Freedom (previously known as Wind) in Canada, and their "slower speeds" on the unlimited plans are more than satisfactory. I don't even notice that I'm throttled until I check my text messages.
Well, I do notice. Especially when I'm trying to operate telepresence robots or the like and the video streams crap out while you're trying to navigate. Or when I'm trying to work on my laptop outdoors far away from home and need to download lots of things over LTE.
Just because you only use 140-byte messages doesn't mean others who are trying to live the future don't notice.
>As a result, I reach 12GB+ on my 6GB plan almost every month. So for me, their unlimited plan is very much unlimited.
It isn't unlimited for me. I can easily hit 22GB.
Unlimited means unlimited, and 22GB isn't unlimited.
