"Unlimited" Data:
Each carrier that offers "Unlimited" Data actually enforces some kind of Data limit to prevent abuse, anywhere from 25 to 60 Gb. If you exceed that limit, your Data availability is still Unlimited but is normally slowed to 2G speeds (about 128kb). What Prepaids are Included in Our Reviews?
