My mom's cellular data plan (used for rural internet access through a cellular/wifi router) has a 128kbps fallback if you use up your main data allotment.
128kbps isn't so bad, is it? More than 3x the speed she used to get with a dialup modem.
But no. We ran it into the fallback zone to try it out. And half the sites (e.g. the full Gmail UI or Facebook) wouldn't even load - the load would time out before the page was functional.
The 128kbs fallback is meant to be as a lifeline, for email and instant messaging communications. And that's really all it's food for any more.
