Unlimited data just means that you have at least some data but then they throttle it so it’s unlimited with means it’s just super slow
On 3 you can use Netflix snapchat and so much mote using no data

As I don't reside in the US, I don't relate to paying a fortune for "unlimited data" (which is bandwidth capped when you use up a certain amount of data)

[@coshiro1]

Not me because I’m using T-Mobile’s binge on HAHHAHA

[@michaelndelosreyes]

How funny 3 years ago data cap is problem but now 2019, the problem primarily is just speed and latency.

[@cal4720]

Who has limited data anymore? Even in 2016, everyone has unlimited.

[@RyanOpelac]

In 2019, I went 9 gigabytes over my data plan which could have cost me an extra $135 on my Verizon bill. When I realized what happened on the first data cycle, I went to the Verizon store and they switched me to unlimited which waved the $135 fee for overages.
