sorry folks,none of these numbers are true.
my service was throttled and then shut off at around 500-600 mb.i had this go on for 3 months.on the 4th month the service was throttled from day 1 - day 30. when they say 'throttle' they mean CHOKE: my verified (throttled) d.load speeds were 0-2 KBPS, ocasionally jumping 'up' to 40-80 kbps for a few seconds and then going back to 0-2 kbps. i was NEVER notified previous to the throttling as they promise in their TOS.when i called about this i was never told i was a 'high data user' (their term) and cust.service was always puzzled as to why i was being throttled or cut off. then i started to get transferred to a dead-end pre-recorded phone message informing me i was a 'high data user' for unknown reasons , given some advice and then told there was nothing anyone could do for me about this.
i found this to be untenable and illegal so i filed a complaint with the ftc.i strongly suggest you do the same as s.talk is still pretending this is only an issue for a few policy breaking individuals.all of my usage was proper,untethered,and well under 1 gb a month so forget the s.talk propaganda numbers - there are NO SPECIFICS in their TOS and this allows them to do anything to anyone at anytime - read it for yourself - their are no stated limits only vague examples.i complianed to the ftc about this lack of specifics as it means their customers have no rights or recourse,and you 'agree' to this by using their 'service'.
p.s. you will NEVER get a rebate for the decline in or loss of your data 'service' - another illegality in my view.below is response #1 from s.talk............
