What is the difference between cellular data being used on my phone and cellular data being used on my notebook? Data is data.

    “They sell more than they can support”

    At that point is where mine and your opinion diverge. In what sustainable business does one sell more of anything than they can maintain responsibility over?

    Of course, there are many examples, but why?

    Greed is why. Don’t sell something you cannot sustain, or you have misled your customer.

    I hope the user finds a way around this and burns all of the data they rightfully purchased. Plan says unlimited. Rename the plan if its a lie.

    Finally, and not directed at the user to which I am replying, what concerns me the most is that this quote I took from your post would be glossed over by most because it is what we’ve come to expect from fucky corps. We don’t have to take it, change your expectations, question the system.

      What they’re talking about is the mobile provider overselling service. Because they know that for the vast majority of the time, everyone isn’t going to be demanding huge amounts of bandwidth all at the same time. Cable/GPON fiber ISPs do the same thing.
