One does find it occasionally. My mobile phone plan (in Sweden) currently says that I have 774G left of my 25G/month quota for example :)

Thank you, Hallon - I've been on the same plan for the last four years and I don't think I've ever checked my data quota :)
So it accumulates for you? That is nice. I wish my unused quota would go into the next month, but it resets. :(
One might wonder why you pay for a plan with 25 GB/mo when you use so little that you have over 2.5 years of it saved!
I thought I had a low usage with my 1.5 years' worth saved. Only reason I paysfor that plan is anything lower and my provider does not offer rollover.
Sometimes these are the smallest usable packages.
Eg here in slovenia, if you want unlimited calls and texting, you get 150GB in your "package" for 9.99eur, but you somehow can't save that data for the next month.

Because it's inexpensive and I'd rather pay marginally over the odds than ever have to think about it (I'm not even sure there was a cheaper plan).
Data limits are easier to keep "unlimited" by slowing the speed, which was already finite, to barely servicable levels. If it is clearly laid out this seems a reasonable solution.
If they've ever done that then I've never noticed it - and mine doesn't claim to be unlimited.
Still limited. But "unlimited" to most people
In the same way your next-door supermarket has effectively "infinite soup cans" for the needs of most people.
Unlimited means for a flat rate. Pay per use/item, like at the supermarket, isn’t it.
Still, you can't get "unlimited" soup cans from your next door supermarket even paying
Which is why they don’t sell it as “unlimited.” The gripe isn’t that there are limits, it’s that it’s sold as “unlimited” but there are limits.
Which to any reasonable person (and it's on the fine print) should mean reasonable limits
But I guess some people do really need "Eggs: contain eggs" in their egg carton otherwise they will throw a legal fit
Right, it’s our fault for not understanding their lies.
