They will no will no longer throttle mobile internet to unusable speeds after data allowances are exhausted, so it is kind of a “minimum universal connection” via mobile.

    They should do this everywhere, but the speed should be a bit higher. Like if you’re on a cheap unlimited plan and you get deprioritized, it shouldn’t go lower than 5Mbit. The whales paying for priority can still get 50+Mbit or whatever, but they shouldn’t be given 100+ or 200+ so everyone else gets unusable speeds. Adjust the numbers to make it make more sense.

      This is how most of the telcos work in NZ. They sell unlimited plans with 10gb or whatever of high speed data. It drops to 2mbs when you run out that month
