Unlimited. It means without any limits or restriction, right? Or does it. The word has different meanings to different wireless service providers. So what does “unlimited” mean to your carrier? Depends on whose system you’re on. Sure, you may technically get unlimited…but a whole bunch of carries throttling back some customers who are on unlimited data plans. They have restrictions that slow your roll when you reach a certain data threshold during your billing cycle. The carriers have different policies — so it’s best to check. And when you do, get out the reading glasses; such limits on the “unlimited” plans are spelled out in the fine print of ads or contracts.
