Great, that means my data plan could be gone in less than 8 seconds!

That's hilarious! To be honest, it's also quite scary. It is also sad to find out that monopoly still keeps very expensive data plans around in so many markets.

I have some 40 GB of 4G data and 10 GB of 3G data and I never get to exceed that limit. The good part is that if I exceed it, I don't get extra-charges, only that my connection speed goes back to the phone-connected modem era... My 4G data connection is not as fast as it c(s)hould be, either - usually around the 20/15 Mbps mark, but considering that I only pay around 5 bucks for my monthly subscription...
