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:
“Mental health data from the 1950’s on middle-aged women showed them to be a particularly distressed group, vulnerable to depression and feelings of uselessness. This isn’t surprising. If society tells you that your main role is to be attractive to men and you are getting crow’s feet, and to be a mother to children and yours are leaving home, no wonder you are distressed.”
—Grace Baruch (20th century)
