Do you actually get unlimited data? In the US, we have "unlimited" plans that are only "unlimited" until you hit the limit of a few GB per month. After that, I can still technically get data, but at extremely limited speeds.

It always seemed like calling it "unlimited" was just boldly lying, especially when the limits are there in the fine print.

In the UK, my provider (O2) offer unlimited data but will "move you to a more suitable plan" if you tether more than 12 devices and/or use more than 650GB in a month.

Yes, in the UK I get real unlimited 5G for £30 a month ($40)

Yes. The fair-use policy is 4GB/day, but you can get an extra 1GB of data an unlimited number of times (with a manual action, to avoid abuse).

The policy makes sense to me.

I'm in HK and I pay HK$150 ($19) for 20GB full speed, unlimited fair usage policy (capped at around 50Mbit/s)
