Not exactly mobile GAMING, but is there any cell provider in the US that gives you ACTUALLY unlimited data? Everything I find is like "unlimited but you get throttled to completely unusable speeds at 'x' GB", anyone know if a provider has actually no cap unlimited data? Or if not is there some sort of loophole? My manager said she did some loophole with Verizon and get unlimited...

I'm a pizza guy and I really just want to listen to music and podcasts in the car, and I know neither of those take up too much data but I'm hitting my cap really early and it sucks. Maybe an unlimited subscription based hotspot or something would be better if those exist?

I don't know of any provider but luckily if that's your main usecase, it's not really necessary.  I would cache the content at home on wifi and then you don't need to waste data on it.  This would be more problematic if your usage wasn't something that could be easily offset in this manner.

If you can read this you're using the wrong theme.  You can change it at the bottom.

Yeah but if I want to listen to new music at random the way Spotify does if you just search a song and let it play without a playlist selected then I can't really download it. And If there's a podcast only available on youtube then I can't download it without YT premium

I use 30+gb on my Note 10+ frequently on Verizon and dont have issues with it being throttled, and I use mine for a lot of video and gaming if that helps

 

Also T-Mobile I've heard in general is pretty generous with their mobile data stuff

Better option would be a Spotify Premium subscription that way you can download all the music + podcasts you like to listen to and also you don't have to get spotify ads

When I signed up for AT&T it said "unlimited data and at 25GB of usage, you may be throttled at peak hours."
I've not been throttled yet.

Can confirm, T-Mobile gives 50GB before you see 'reduced speeds in congested areas' but it was nothing like Verizon, after I passed 22gb on Verizon my speeds dropped to basically 0, noticed no difference on Tmobile after passing 50GB.

why no dark mode?
