A rule that lets an operator slow speeds after heavy use on an unlimited plan.
A fair usage policy sets what counts as normal use of an unlimited plan. After a threshold the speed may be reduced for a time, for example until the next day.
The plan does not stop. Light tasks such as maps and chat still work, while video and large downloads slow down.
What to check
- Look for the threshold and how long the slowdown lasts
- Use Wi-Fi for heavy tasks
