Also worth noting: once you cross 6GB, they stop billing. Basically, your bill is capped at $80 + taxes, so that one month that you end up using 250 GB doesn't cost you $2500, it costs $80.

Also worth noting: If you set up a group on Fi, the cost cap increases, but the per user cost goes down.

At the top end (6 group members) the max per user cost (if splitting evenly and not proportioned based on individual usage) is $50, compared to $80 for one user.

This is a bit misleading. They throttle you to 256kbps after 15GB, but give you the option to lift the limit by paying $10/GB for the data you use past 15GB in a given cycle.

It's literally impossible to reach 250GB without paying extra. After being throttled the most you'd be able to download is 82.94GB, assuming you were downloading things non-stop at the maximum speed for 30 days.
