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

[PHenry]

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.

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

the funny thing is the customer was complaining about that speed not being fast enough lol. they thought the throttled speed was 512mbps...

there was a member on here that managed to achieve 1.2mbps on their throttled data.

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

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?
