Mint Mobile Rebuked for Claiming "Unlimited" Data in Ads
Unlimited Data Doesn't Mean Unlimited Speed
Apparently, the entire world is stupid nowadays. Why would anyone think that their unlimited data would be at the highest speed possible? The concept is that if you exceed your high-speed cap, you don't get charged additional fees for whatever your phone uses passively or you use intentionally. That's what it has ALWAYS meant. If Mint were advertising unlimited high-speed data, then yea, that would be false advertising.

"Why would anyone think that their unlimited data would be at the highest speed possible?" Because of the carriers' use of the word "unlimited." By restricting the speed after a certain point, they are inherently placing an artificial limit on consumption... thus it's not actually unlimited.

It's unlimited data, not unlimited speed. There's no such thing as unlimited speed, hence my initial point.
