Those who’ve experienced unlimited data after exhausting the bucket—did you actually reach 512kbps?

PHenry — Sun, 03 Dec 2023 17:22:45 GMT

Just wondering since it'll take a while to exhaust 40GB and I obviously don't want to "test" it, can anyone here with the unlimited 5G plan who has had the experience of exhausting their full-speed data bucket advise whether you've been reaching the 512kbps that's been advertised (or, I should say, it's been advertised to be up to 512kbps)?

Reason I am asking is that the other competitors all seem to cap their post-bucket speeds at 128 or 256kbps, which when we're talking about such low amounts anyway makes a BIG difference. 512kbps is actually not too bad compared to 256 or 128.

@PHenry Yes but it’s still so slow

I see that it says "256kbps" in your screenshot, but 512kbps in the official terms. What actual speed are you getting, or have you run a speed test?

Wow... that'd be amazing, that's just as fast as old school DSL!

hi @PHenry remember this happens when you have used up all your allotted data. So, that is free. And some carriers have only 128kbps
