We still have some phones on US Cellular and the last time I checked their plans they were doing at least 3 different versions of “unlimited”. When you read the fine print it said that the lowest level’s speed is about ½ of the higher levels. The higher levels have different data allocations before they throttle them down. They might have changed it now but I believe at that point they actually said that they would do to 1x or 2x speeds after you reached whatever data NOT limit that they had on that plan.

People don’t realize this is equivalent to flying standby. Also the wording unlimited data (X GB of high speed 4G LTE data). That’s like all-you-can-eat pancakes, but after the first stack, you get stale, moldy leftover pancakes from last week.

They've gone from "unlimited", to "no data caps", to "no throttling". I'm sure their next marketing push will be "no deprioritization" once they figure out a new term to describe their data limit.

It’s pointless, they have unlimited data, and you’re a liar or an idiot to think otherwise. No use showing them the 4 different unlimited plans, all with different limits. But I’m confused by the articles (like one recently by EFF) complaining about what a huge net neutrality violation it is for AT&T to zero rate their HBO Max service. How can you have zero rating on an unlimited plan? -- AF mailing list [email protected]<mailto:[email protected]> http://af.afmug.com/mailman/listinfo/af_af.afmug.com ________________________________ Total Control Panel Login<https://asp.reflexion.net/login?domain=litewire.net> To: [email protected]<https://asp.reflexion.net/address-properties?aID=242260993&domain=litewire.net> From: [email protected]<mailto:[email protected]> You received this message because the domain afmug.com<http://afmug.com> is on your allow list. -- AF mailing list [email protected]<mailto:[email protected]> http://af.afmug.com/mailman/listinfo/af_af.afmug.com ________________________________ -- AF mailing list [email protected]<mailto:[email protected]> http://af.afmug.com/mailman/listinfo/af_af.afmug.com -- AF mailing list [email protected]<mailto:[email protected]> http://af.afmug.com/mailman/listinfo/af_af.afmug.com ________________________________ Total Control Panel Login<https://asp.reflexion.net/login?domain=litewire.net> To: [email protected]<https://asp.reflexion.net/address-properties?aID=242260993&domain=litewire.net> From: [email protected]<mailto:[email protected]> You received this message because the domain afmug.com is on your allow list.
