Freedom Mobile customers who picked up the recent $19/1GB promo plan have found it doesn’t include unlimited data as advertised.

The $19/1GB promo plan, which ended March 17, offered 1GB of 5G+ data with “unlimited data at reduced speeds thereafter,” a common feature of mobile plans these days.

However, several customers took to Reddit and RedFlagDeals (RFD) to share their discovery that after getting the $19 plan and using the 1GB, their data turned off instead of switching over to the slower speed.

    Interesting perspective but I would argue that the data speed is set to 0, not NULL. They change the speed from say 50Mbps to 0Mbps. And 0Mbps is slower than 50Mbps. And to be clear, I think it’s shitty behaviour by Freedom, I just think semantic debates like this are fun

        Well it definitely isn’t unlimited data if there is a speed or time limit. I’m this case, there are both.
