You must be a T-Mobile user. Verizon dumped the last of its unlimited plans 5 years ago and now only 20% have been granted unlimited data. AT&T, who just got fined for throttling unlimited users, got rid of theirs 3 years ago and now less than 40% are allowed unlimited data. Sprint has unlimited data for $60 but only useful if you can actually get signal in your area. If AT&T are making an exception for free connection of unlimited data to CarPlay I would be surprised if they keep that up for long after the big FCC fine. AT&T are going to have to come up with a new way to get more dough out of that 40%. T-Mobile on the other hand seem to be catering to unlimited users to lock up market share.
