Data Throttling
Cricket offers a variety of plans that include data from $45 to $70 a month. While Cricket service is in fact unlimited, they do have a usage limit cap that varies by plan, with the option to purchase a limit increase in 1 GB increments. Exceeding the cap results in reduced data speed (throttling), possibly as low as 56k (dialup) speeds. Cricket measures the data allowance per day on a 30-day billing cycle, so even if a user exceeds their limit, normal speed will be restored on the next billing cycle.

Famous quotes containing the word data:
“This city is neither a jungle nor the moon.... In long shot: a cosmic smudge, a conglomerate of bleeding energies. Close up, it is a fairly legible printed circuit, a transistorized labyrinth of beastly tracks, a data bank for asthmatic voice-prints.”
—Susan Sontag (b. 1933)
