Frequently asked questions
- What do you get between $30 and $40 on an unlimited plan?
- Usually a higher high-speed allowance, and sometimes hotspot data. The gap between the cheapest unlimited plan and a $40 one is mostly about how much full-speed data you get before throttling.
- Do I need a premium unlimited plan?
- Only if you regularly exceed 30 to 40 GB of mobile data a month or need priority data on a congested network. Light users rarely benefit from the higher tier.
