What is unlimited traffic?

Unlimited traffic refers to unlimited traffic packages.

Traffic does not limit the use area and usage, but it will slow down the network speed after reaching the usage specified in the package, but the data network can still be used indefinitely without generating additional traffic charges. The three major mobile network operators have launched unlimited traffic packages.

On April 25th, 20 18, Wen Ku, director of the Information and Communication Development Department of the Ministry of Industry and Information Technology, said that in order to implement the goal of reducing fees by 30% proposed in the government work report, the promotion of unlimited flow or large flow tariff schemes will be intensified.

Causes of over-current speed limit

Generally, for example, the monthly traffic of the package is set to 22GB, and the traffic shared with partners is set to 10GB. After the above amount is exceeded, the traffic can still be used, but the network speed will be downgraded to 3G level. Many operators have similar descriptions of unlimited traffic.

"For the reasons for this, some of their products are explained in the packaging, which is based on the principle of fair use of the network." It is the original intention of the so-called fairness principle to ensure the normal network use of more users in the service area, rather than letting a few users who continue to download excessively occupy all the bandwidth for a long time.

Operators still have to put forward some restrictions on excess network speed or total traffic, the main purpose is to limit the behavior of abnormal users. "If there is no restriction agreement at all, it may cause complaints and disputes." Including "long-time continuous downloading" and "multi-person sharing", which consumes a lot of base station and network resources.
