If you subscribe to rate plans, services or features that are described as unlimited, you should be aware that such "unlimited" plans are subject to these prohibited network uses and the other prohibited uses and limitations in this AUP. The remainder of this section is an explanation of Flash Mobile's existing policy concerning unlimited data and is not in limitation of any other prohibited use or other restriction in this AUP or the Flash Mobile Terms and Conditions. Flash reserves the right to reduce data speed for customers exceeding the applicable High Speed Limit (please see below for the High Speed Limit that applies to your plan). Data speed reduction may severely impair your ability to use services or programs requiring data access, including everyday applications. Flash Mobile will also slow cellular data usage under unlimited plans when Flash Mobile determines that data use is severely inconsistent with ordinary use of the service, or otherwise violates Flash Mobile's Acceptable Use Policy. Any reduced data speed will continue for the remainder of your monthly billing cycle. Flash Mobile reserves the right to modify data use thresholds (including the applicable High Speed Limit) and speed level reductions in its sole discretion from time to time without notice based on its determination of changes in what constitutes ordinary use, customer patterns, or other relevant factors. Flash Mobile may determine, in its sole discretion, what is inappropriate usage of Services provided pursuant to this AUP. Should this occur, you may be informed in writing, via email or otherwise, but Flash Mobile reserves the right to make this determination without notice to you. If Flash determines, in its sole discretion, that you are using an unlimited service repeatedly or consistently in violation of this AUP or the Flash Terms and Conditions, or in any other manner that is inconsistent with ordinary use of the service, Flash will notify you of your violations and Flash may, in addition to the options listed above, terminate your Service, decline to renew your Service, or offer you a different service plan with no unlimited usage component.
Plans featuring unlimited data will allow high speed data access (up to 5G speeds with compatible network and device) only up to 50GB (Unlimited Plan) or 75GB (Unlimited Elite Plan) of high speed data per monthly billing cycle (your applicable "High Speed Limit"). After your High Speed Limit is reached, you will experience slower data speeds up to 128 kbps for the remainder of the applicable billing cycle. During network congestion, our network provider may prioritize heavy data users lower than other customers. Customers whose data is prioritized lower may notice speeds lower than customers with higher priority in times and locations where there are competing customer demands for network resources.
