Joao,<div><br></div><div>Thanks for sharing this about Brazil. It is sad how far operators can go and truly there is need for proper regulations.</div><div><br></div><div>I had limited knowledge about the meaning of 'data caps' but when i read articles on it, it is a bit clearer now because i understand it practically.</div><div><br></div><div>I just read on another list the work PK is doing in that field. There is a lot to learn here: <a href="https://www.publicknowledge.org/issues/data-caps" target="_blank"><a href="https://www.publicknowledge.org/issues/data-caps" target="_blank">https://www.publicknowledge.org/issues/data-caps</a></a></div><div><br></div><div>I experienced this while in the US when subscribed to AT&T and their monthly bandwidth. It is really painful when they start slowing you when you are about to finish your monthly package. Atleast they inform you that you are close to finishing and that you will be slowed down.</div><div><br></div><div>In the DR Congo, we don't usually deal with data caps on 3G (mobile) because most people use daily or weekly plans with a clear amount of Gbs paid for. The operator will keep you updated about how much remains of your plan so that you don't go beyond. The consequence of going beyong is that you start using your airtime (which was not part of the data plan you activated for) at a very high rate (close to roaming).</div><div><br></div><div>In most cases when connected to wifi, you also are aware the Gbs you have and you can monitor. Operators will not slow you but when your plan is over, they will just disconnect you until you buy or subscribe to another plan.</div><div><br></div><div>I hope this makes sense. I will be glad to hear others on how this looks like in their own environment.</div><div><br></div><div>Best regards,</div><div>A</div><div><div>---------------------</div><div>Arsene Tungali,</div><div><a dir="ltr" href="tel:+243%20993810967" x-apple-data-detectors="true" x-apple-data-detectors-type="telephone" x-apple-data-detectors-result="1">+243 993810967</a></div><div>@arsenebaguma</div><div>Democratic Republic of Congo</div><a href="https://yho.com/footer0">Sent from Yahoo Mail for iPhone</a><br><br><p style="font-size: 15px; color: #715FFA; padding-top: 0; margin-top: 0">On Wednesday, March 16, 2016, 5:55 PM, João Carlos R.
