Mint Mobile unlimited plan customers have just received an easy-to-miss but crucial upgrade
Mint has just lifted the cap on its unlimited plan

This week, both new and existing Mint Mobile customers on the carrier's already great unlimited data plan have received an unexpected but welcome bonus.
The carrier has just announced that it's removing the strict 40GB data cap that was previously in place on the unlimited plan. This cap meant that customer speeds were dramatically reduced after you hit your cap - thankfully, that's not the case now.
Instead, the unlimited plan will now only be slowed when you're over 35GB of data usage and the local area is particularly busy. You won't get any deprioritized speeds unless you go over that cap - and your plan will go back to full speed if your local area isn't experiencing heavy traffic.
This makes the Mint Mobile unlimited data plan much more forgiving for high-data users since you won't get any permanent slow-downs on your data speeds until the next bill cycle. Mint hasn't hiked up the prices for its unlimited plan, so you're getting even more bang for the buck than you were previously. In fact, there is a deal on the unlimited plan that I've also attached below.

Mint Mobile's just launched a great deal for its excellent unlimited plan. Instead of paying the usual $360 upfront, you can now get a full year of unlimited data for just $300 right now.
