There is no right to free bandwidth.

They're not talking about usage, they're talking about data throttling. If the government has plans with "unlimited data" then the data should be unlimited with no throttling. Same for you or me. If you advertise that capacity, and make me pay a higher price for that capacity, there should be no "throttling" of that capacity because I'm making full use of that capacity.

If the government was on a plan with a data cap, and the government went over its data cap, then the contract would have provided for that, and they'd have been billed for it. But throttling speeds is bovine excrement.

“If the government has plans with “unlimited data” then the data should be unlimited with no throttling. “

They didn’t. And they had a hard cap.

In fact their account manager warned them of this issue the very month BEFORE this incident and they took no action to adjust the plan they purchased.

My plan with US Cellular does that. I get one gig in throttled after that it’s throttled. You are trying to force me on a more expensive plan.
