  • For cell / mobile phones, you’re sharing the capacity of the cell among multiple people.

    In this example, a rural cell tower can provide up to 395Mbps.

    It would only take 40 people watching Kayo at high definition (or any high definition video service) via their phone or a 4G router to saturate this tower.

    For everyone else at this time, it’ll still work but even though they might have a strong radio signal (lots of bars), the internet will become slow.

    Limiting monthly usage, or charging more for more data per month, reduces the risk of saturation.
