Last I checked 256 Kbps is not high speed. You can advertise this as unlimited data, or you can advertise it as 50 GB of high-speed data, but you can't call it unlimited high-speed data.

That's a fair point, we should change that verbiage.

Several years ago in the UK, giffgaff had a similar plan (throttled to 384 kbps after 80 GB throughput) which they called “always on”. I thought that was a good linguistic compromise.

Why can’t it throttle to something slightly higher? Even 100-200 KBps? Is that a requirement from the “upstream” network provider?

Google Fi has been 256k after the soft cap since they launched. Majorly embarrassing, took me tears to sign up because of this.

Comcast I think is the best? Haven't checked in a while but their mobile plan I think soft caps to 1Mbps.

A slightly different definition of “best” is Verizon’s Visible division. NO caps. Just slightly deprioritized speeds 100% of the time. Their website says 5Mbps speed cap at all times but I’ve tested 180Mbps and that was after using like 30GB on my hotspot. Basically all-you-can-eat (including the hotspot) with a risk that sometimes it’ll slow a little compared to others on the network, for $25/mo.
