For example, the regional wireless carrier my $DAYJOB has partnered with has rate-limiting in place with its two major roaming partners, to help control roaming costs. And when it uses the word "unlimited" in its marketing materials it means you can access data anywhere where there is access, not "unlimited quantity" or "unlimited speed".

Traveling, I usually see better data performance natively on a network vs roaming. In "outlying" areas, such as Maine, Alaska, Hawaii, you're better off using a local telco. More likely to have better coverage. - Jared On Dec 4, 2013, at 5:45 PM, Jack Vizelter <jack () mail rockefeller edu> wrote:
In my experience, nationwide, typically just means the continental 48

I am a customer of a carrier who advertises "Unlimited Nationwide 4G data", but limits their customers to 50MB per month while traveling in an area they do not have coverage (Alaska, for example). I've never heard of such a policy in regards to a "Nationwide" plan.. I thought the entire idea of saying nationwide was to represent you were covering the ENTIRE NATION.I believe you will find that any carrier says "Nationwide means where we have coverage, and unlimited means 'if you're on our towers'."
