    I know someone who exceeded it the last few days, he got a solid 5 Mbps down. It was only for 2 days so not a long period of time to see if that maintains.

    Yes, you know who I'm referring to, during the weekend he decided to stress test it and burn through the limit and in the few remaining days of the month to see how he'd manage with speeds over the limit. He was very happy with the solid 5 DL/1UL, sufficient for his needs, better than the 2 houses shared up to 5 WISP speeds from before.

    In case anyone is wondering about GOMO throttling.

    As soon as I hit 120gb in Aug just gone, GOMO throttled down to 5mb/1mb approx. So they are actively throttling.

    Also wondering if when you use 120GB and they throttle down to 5Mb if there's any further throttling if you continue to eat through GB's, in order to make it unusable?

    5Mb would take you to 5Gb a day if it ran non stop.

    It's really not worthwhile throttling further probably.

    I don't see why you would even bother. Just get a better plan if you're planning to use more. I've used 100gb a day on three on 4g and their plans are 15/20 a month and they have 5g now too.
