Account Notice From Virgin Broadband2Go...
It said this:
. Confirmation no.: 981516063 Date/Time: Aug 18, 2013 08:22 pm(CST) Your account has used 85 percent of your data usage cap. Once you reach 5120.000MB of usage, we'll reduce your data speeds through 09/15/2013. . So I called and spoke with a lady (in India, of course) who told me that EVERY service in the world reduces internet speed after 5 gigs of use. Is that correct? . BTW, I'm dropping Virgin service soon...I could not get onto the internet this morning...too busy, I guess. . TIA for any info.

Bandwidth caps are common.
Basically if you are paying a reasonable price for "Unlimited" they will cap / throttle you. It's a way to back into limiting your data usage without saying your unlimited plan is really limited. I would love to dump ATT but I have one of the old truly unlimited plans and really don't want to give it up.

This sounds familiar with Virgin.
I pay $40/month for "Unlimited" usage. It's as slow as dial-up at times and often I can't even get online. Best times to use is before 6 a.m. Thanks for the replies gents. Quote:
