    Unlimited never truly means unlimited.

    It's like saying you can have this car in any colour, so long as it's in black....

    It's the allowance on 3's sims. Fair usage of 15gb but it shows up as 2tb. Never heard of anyone ever going over it, the 15gb isn't enforced so no charge until you hit 2tb.

    the 15gb isn't enforced but if you're using heavy traffic and over 15gb, they can throttle your speed

    Not sure if anyone has any practical experience of being throttled. I'd imagine you'd be a candidate for throttling if you're using AYCE as home broadband

    I've used over 300GB one month on my bill pay phone. The prepay sims are limited to around 15GB.
