[citation][nom]vpiscitelli[/nom]"Unlimited" refers to the amount of data that can be downloaded and has no connection to how quickly that data can be downloaded. His plan is still unlimited; it's just considerably slower. Do they guarantee top download speeds 100% of the time? NO. Do they mention that speed can be throttled? YES. So what's the problem here?[/citation]
The problem is that people see what they want to see and hear what they want to hear. If the carrier says it's unlimited data and the only thing they did is slow down connection because of excessive usage that was causing other users to experience slow downs in the area then so what? Unlimited data does not mean unlimited speed 100% percent of the time. We all know that from time our home connections drop to crawl. That's life but it does not give you the right to scream lawsuit because you are being unrealistic in your expectations. Everyone assumes that they are owed something. When your car gets a flat tire do you complain to the dealership where you brought it from, or do you just replace the tire? When you run out of hot water in your home do you blame the water heater? (not mentioning that fact that you took a 45 minute shower)Or do you say "maybe I should have a took a quicker shower"? Seriously people always want something for nothing and have the most unrealistic expectations with no regard to the reality of what is feasibly or technically possible
