When you reach your plan’s data limit, your data speeds will slow down or be throttled, until the start of the next billing cycle.
To offer the best experience to as many users as possible, any data used after you reach your data limit is throttled or slowed to 256 kbps. Your full-speed data limit depends on the type of plan you have and can’t be manually adjusted.
- Flexible plans allow up to 15 GB of full-speed data.
- Simply Unlimited plans allow up to 35 GB of full-speed data.
- Unlimited Plus plans allow up to 50 GB of full-speed data.
How group plans compare to individual plans
In group plans, all members have their own personal data limits and one member’s data usage won’t add to another member’s data limit. Only the plan manager can pay to get full data speeds for members.
Use full-speed data beyond your data limit
Important: Before resuming full speed data, understand that once full speed data is enabled, it can’t be disabled for the current billing period.
After you reach your plan’s data limit, you can choose to return to full-speed data for an additional $10/GB for the rest of your billing cycle.
