Speed, fair use and hotspot

After the high-speed allowance the line stays usable at 384 kbps — enough for maps, messaging and payments.

What to do

1. Each plan has a high-speed allowance; check the plan page or your order email for the exact number.
2. When it runs out the line is throttled under fair use to 384 kbps rather than cut off — three times the 128 kbps many providers settle for.
3. 384 kbps comfortably covers maps, messaging, email, ride-hailing and mobile payments; video streaming is not realistic at that speed.
4. If a speed test looks slow while you still have allowance, re-check the data line, roaming and APN before blaming the network.
5. Hotspot sharing depends on the destination network and the plan; if tethering matters for your trip, confirm before buying.
