1. 1 gig in 3 days initiates a throttle. No way out until it expires.
2. 7 gig in 1 month initiates a throttle, which you can selectively pay your way out of.

I hit the (1.) condition quite a bit, it's annoying.

thanks,

Not sure if it's just me, if you ask me if I will take the bullet of (1) vs doing that stupidly slow 128K, I will take option 1 any day, which means you use roughly 10GB per month (OK in HK Standard).

For me I will just get a secondary SIM as you will go beyond (2) anyway, that you will need to pay, and use the WIFI hotspot once every now and then...

OR alternatively, check this if it fits your need better

yes, it's way more expensive, but you don't hit those roadblocks at all
