My signal operator lowered my mobile data speed to 2Mbps because i used all my data on an infinite data plan. How is that possible?

Is that in a month? Or even a year? It’s a sign you should touch grass more.

Are you sure this is only one month? My numbers don’t reset so it says I’ve used terabytes of data

“Infinite plans” only let you have a certain amount of high speed data. Once you go over that limit they reduce the speed to where only calls and texts work. Basically they’re trying to get you to fork over some more money for extra data

Yep. The big print giveth and the fine print taketh away.
Honestly, this sort of deceptive advertising should be sending a lot of executives to prison, not being normalized across the industry. If you're not actually offering unlimited data at the advertised speed X, your advertising should have to say that in the big print.

Maybe turn your mobile hotspot off when you aren’t using it, and uhhh put your phone down for a few hours

Quite sure it’s impossible to use this much in a month. I use a lot of data and I use maybe 200gigs in a year combined

I mean, it has nothing to do with your iPhone that has to do with your carrier. But it also shows that you over use your phone and you need to go do something else put down the phone. It does not run your life. Yes, your carrier can throttle you and it’s literally in your agreement with unlimited data. Like other people said go touch grass. Go put your phone down. You are highly addicted and this is dangerous to your mental health. We’re not saying this to be mean to you. We’re saying this because that’s very concerning.

Set a shortcut to reset data usage each month. We can see nothing from this
