Cell Phone plan with truly unlimited data - no metering

Many cell phone plans I know of boast of "unlimited" data, but I've run into exceptions for hot spot use and metered rates after certain limits.

Are there any plans that are truly unlimited and OK for hot spot use without metering?
  • Everybody's got throttling after X amount of data or hotspot, on paper. Nobody calls it throttle, it's called optimization, or speeds may be reduced.

    Doesn't mean it'll happen all the time, everywhere.

    Crowded camp on a weekend, you'll likely get "optimize" before going over.

    Less crowded areas, probably no speed reducible when you go over, no problems.

    Count on the budget MVNO to keep much better track of usage.
  • The word I get is that Visible, a Verizon company just removed their data speed cap.

    The plan is $40 a month and unlimited data on the phone plan.

    You can use the phone as an unlimited hotspot.

    I'd read the fine print.

  • Lies, darn lies and unlimited data plans.

    I have a UDP from Verizon and I would have 20-25 MBs then an hour later it would slow down to under 1 MBs; too slow to use. So I called them and they explained I had a discounted Sr plan which they routinely throttle based on traffic and giving the Premium plan holders priority.

    Someone here posted about a hotspot only plan from OTR Data which I bought.

    It’s on ATTs network s when Verizon isn’t there they might be.
    $60/mo no limit, no throttling, no contract. So far it works great.

    Another big improvement was I bought a Weboost RV celll booster.

    It greatly improved data rates. For all systems.
  • Start your own wireless company that's the only way you can get it.
