Just read the full story. It's bullcrap clickbait.
They were on an unlimited data plan that throttles by default after you exceed a certain monthly cap.
The only issue here was Verizon didn't remove the normal cap after realising it was a fire department/essential emergency service.
Surprisingly almost all ems have some kind of data plan with these companies. Whether it’s cops for their computers in the car, firefighters for comms, or emts and hospital systems. And they all pay out the ass for their plans because these companies found the group of people that absolutely must have their access so they extort them. It’s nothing new what version did and it’s likely to never change
This is why I think they should all be banned from using the word unlimited. If at any time there is a limit it's not unlimited. If it was truly unlimited by definition I should be able to use 100 terabytes of data at max speed. Now I get this is impractical and would be extremely cost prohibitive. It would also require a complete overhaul of the infrastructure to ensure every customer in the entire network coverage area receives the max level at all times. So I'd be cool with using terms like "hardly limited" or "near unlimited". I just don't think they should be able to play these type of games.
