Anyone who uses more than 15 GB on Flexible or 22 GB on the unlimited plans in a single cycle will experience slower data until the next cycle (only 1% of people who use Fi ever hit 22 GB). If you want to return to faster data before the cycle's end, you can do so at a rate of $10/GB.
The "data slower" is 256kbps: https://support.google.com/fi/answer/9462101?hl=en. It's not just "slower" like going from 50Mbps to 10Mbps because you're a lower priority. It's like going back in time 10-15 years.
For compare, Comcast Xfinity Mobile is 1.5Mbps. Fucking Comcast is doing 6x less shit evil bad of a job than Google. Google, this is connivingly pathetically mercilessly bad. You need to fix this so bad. This is such an ugly scrooge of a move.
Google Fi launched in 2015, and I feel like this is one part of the plan that just hasn't received any updates or care. Once it wouldn't have been that bad. But now the internet ought move a little faster. Someone has a bad month & goes over & it makes life absolutely miserable on Fi. Google Fi does not have your back, does not care, is just as happy to have you go elsewhere or to work harder, be more careful next time. That your post-cap life is a shitty shitty hell is not a problem for Google Fi.
My gf spends about an hour and a half every day browsing on her phone and watching video while waiting to pick the kids up for school. Only once did she ever breach 15 gigs, and that was during the recent Texas icestorm when we didn't have power for a week.

In other news, here’s to not having to use the phrase “Texas ice storm” anytime soon...
