Not unlimited data. The news story just probably either doesnt know what its talking about or is hyping it up. Bell does have an unlimited data package but only on data cards. Since in the story it says he was tethering it means that he does not have a data card and cannot have "unlimited data" but only unlimited mobile browser wich is very different. It is his fault for not knowing what he is doing. It’s “unlimited mobile browser”. Not unlimited data. The news story just probably either doesnt know what its talking about or is hyping it up.

It says so right in the contract and the sales rep probably didnt mention that fact.

Our record was 6500 for a guy who's wife talked a ton in Mexico. 85000 is good number to use the word obscene. On a side note, $82000 credit is badass by any standred Wow that beats my stores record for highest bill.

He was trying to use it for something that is specifically listed as a violation of terms, and using it to download "High Def movies". Everyone is so quick to point fingers at bell cause their the big company here but they did no wrong in my eyes. its a simple case of what happens when people try to take advantage of what they THINK might be a loophole. live and learn.
