You've got to be a heavy data user and in an area where the network is already congested, so at least they're not always throttling you.

ungratefull customer. data hogs. get a life, intead of "wired" to the phone 24/7. US consumers are spoiled, ungratefull with what they have. abuse the system, now company figting back with regulation. customer deserve it. Greedy Customers.

How are you going to upsell me to this glorious phone that is suppose to off set my computer usage, then cripple my ability to use it?

That 'unlimited' means 'genuinely infinite' and that the word 'unlimited' is meant in the strictest, most literal, most absolute sense possible.
