Semi-relevant question: is StraightTalk's unlimited plans truly unlimited? It just came to my attention that some unlimited plans in the US aren't really unlimited, as there are limits imposed, ie: your speed will be throttled after you hit a certain limit. I'm not from the US, so I'm unaware about these things.
Depends on which network (ST sells phones an SIM cards that operate on Verizon, Sprint, T-Mobile, and until recently AT&T). T-Mobile and Sprint don't seem to care as long as you're not using your phone to download torrents, Verizon would start throttling around 2GB. Problem was with the AT&T based service, who would constantly call customers and threaten to shut them off for excessive use, and by their definition pretty much any use over a few MB per day was considered excessive... I think that's part of the reason ST doesn't resell AT&T service anymore.
