Unlimited limited data MTS style.
Assume you use 15gbs of data in the first day of an average 30 day cycle.
29 days left.
128 kilobits per second throttle.
128 x 60 seconds x 60 minutes.
= 460800 kb per hour or 56.25 mb per hour.
X 24 hours x 29 days = 39150mb.
It would be impossible to download more than 19GB if you maxed out in one day.
That is limited.
Limited speed. Limited data.
How the hell can they legally call it unlimited?

Carrier: MTS | Handset: Galaxy S3 | Plan: 100 minutes, U/L Evenings & Weekends, U/L SMS, Call Display | Data: UNLIMITED LTE - $16.50
I've got more phones than fingers
what is better ... can get 18 Gb per month throttled and never overage ...
or pay a 6GB plan ... and pay 50 $ after ...
i prefer have full speed at the beginning and never have overage ...

You mean 54GB, by your math?Assume you use 15gbs of data in the first day of an average 30 day cycle.
29 days left.
128 kilobits per second throttle.
128 x 60 seconds x 60 minutes.
= 460800 kb per hour or 56.25 mb per hour.
X 24 hours x 29 days = 39150mb.
It would be impossible to download more than 19GB if you maxed out in one day.
(Interesting side note - that data usage on Rogers would cost you approximately $480 in overage charges... on Telus, $960 in overage! )

You are brilliant sir. Absolutely brilliant.
Let's get the class action suit going. Also we can sue Olive Garden on this premise because they advertise you can get "unlimited" bread sticks when you come for a meal but my mouth has a limited transfer rate and my stomach only has so much room.

Olive garden does't come to your table, take away your bread sticks and accuse you of abusing them because you ate a few more than most people. Then only allow you one crouton per visit for the next year.

Sigh. Way to miss a valid point.
Something with limits can't be unlimited. Period.
Yes rogers and telus would cost a lot for data. So? That had nothing to do with it. I was not comparing.
Make 1000 minutes of long distance on MTS and compare that to telus or some other one sided comparison.
The point gents. You missed it.
And yes. My math was off a decimal point!!

WPGHTC I understand. My cousin uses up his 10 gigs in the first three days and the throttling is so bad after that he can't even use his phone during the day. I would be more comfortable if they advertised 10 gigs for the price. Its like Shaw and there ultra fast speed, when you actually use it they suspend you.

Hey - how about I pay you $100 to stop whining about getting 15GB of data a month for $25?
Naw... I meant $10.
Maybe I meant $1.

15GB per month is a hell of a deal. Not sure why people are complaining. The reason they enforce the cap in the first place is because people abuse the connection. In other words you shouldn't be downloading torrents with your phone tethered to your computer.

What does unlimited mean?
15GB is a hell of a deal. Why not call it that? Why not just be honest and up front?
Why doesn't MTS just be honest about things?
Show me where they charge a $3.50 access fee, activation fee, or any other charges on their website.
Having been their customer for over 7 years, I have been very familiar with their billing errors. How can a company do that? Makes you wonder. They clutter bills until they are hard to understand. How much extra revenue is from "mistakes" people miss?

If you think MTS is the only company that does that... well, look around. But really - I don't have much of an issue understanding my bill, and catching fees when they shouldn't be charged (which is rarely lately, if at all).
As well - it is unlimited data in that they don't charge you for the amount you use over a certain limit, as the other carriers do. They just limit the speed at which you access that data after a while... so technically it is "unlimited data", just not unlimited speeds.

LOL!
REALLY?
You said "unlimited data" "over a certain limit" "limit the speed".
How the hell can you call it unlimited?
Here is a free phone. I will only charge you $50.

And its not 4G either. Big deal. 15GB is still one hell of a deal considering you have to pay like $60/month for 6GB with Rebulus.
Seriously. Yes they all lie, cheat and rip us off, but MTS has the best data plan in North America.
