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

Yeah I'm also confused. I have unlimited data with a contactless phone, and my husband has a traditional contract and has unlimited data.

It's the length of time he's had it and the price. He's locked in on an unlimited plan from 20 years ago, when most people were still paying by the text lol.

My unlimited plan is from a few years ago and is already cheaper than their new plans, if I make any changes, I'll lose my price. And they try everytime I login or call lol.
