Communications provides LTE signal to its millions of users but this service comes with a condition that users will not exceed 1.5GB usage per day once subscribe to any of Smart's unlimited internet promos. Otherwise, their LTE (or 4G) signal will be cut off or blocked and they can only continue with their internet access using the 3G signal. Unlimited but with limits?! This is similar to Globe's Fair Usage Policy (FUP) which allow their users to browse, download, upload or stream any internet content using their HSPA+ connection but within the 800MB data limit when registered to any of Globe's unlimited internet promos. So, Smart's is bigger with the limits but there's still a limit. Smart monitors each user's internet data usage and once you reached the limit, your SIM will be blocked from getting the LTE signal (#forever!) and your signal will be downgraded to 3G. This is called throttling but in Smart this will be forever unlike with Globe, you can regain your H+ signal after midnight. You can also use this tutorial on Unblocking Your Smart SIM Blocked Internet Access .
Any internet user will prefer access to LTE signal because it's way faster than 3G and it saves surfing time and provides you as much as many streamed or downloaded files as possible. If your location is already included in the LTE signal coverage, why will you let yourself locked up in the slow 3G signal especially if you are a heavy user?
