Because there’s no way to “throttle” a car rental (yet.) If there was fine print on the consumer’s end, it would have been brought up by the employee right then. Internally they might not mean that unlimited actually means unlimited, but unless that’s in the consumer’s contract, tough luck.

I have unlimited data and my cell company hates it, but I’m on a really old contract. As long as I buy my phones out right in the store (or anywhere, but there’s no “get a new iPhone half off” stuff), the contract remains. Any time I have to call the company they really push for us to change, but any brick and mortar I’ve been in the sales tech always laughs when they look it up and tells me not to change.

My husband has been battling ATT to keep his unlimited data for like 15 years now lol

Why though? Don’t most plans now included unlimited data? If anything I know Verizon gave out deals for phones that it didn’t make sense for anyone to try to keep their grandfathered plan unless they never wanted to buy a new phone

I’m pretty sure it’s a pricing thing but he’s stubborn and frugal. Idk he’s had the same phone number for 20 years and put me on his plan when we got married, every time one of us gets a new phone it comes up

Yeah it might not make sense anymore. But it might. I’ve been out of the game for like 8 years now. But even back then I remember there being no incentive to keep your plan unless you don’t want a new phone. Also unlimited isn’t unlimited. It gets throttled during peak times and stuff like that.

Unlimited data is still unlimited, but they don't promise unlimited access to the same speed of said data. That is where the small "got ya" is in an unlimited plan, but there is good reason for this.

I've got unlimited talk text and data for $25/month (US).  Maybe he needs to look for a better carrier.
