Unlimited Plan throttling - all lines?

I am looking to move to the Unlimited plan with two lines. If one of the lines hits the 22GB threshold, will both lines be throttled, or just the one?

It would be only the one line and only if network congestion requires it. Many customers report going beyond 22GB with no slowdown.

@Miokitty No lines will be throttled, if the tower is overloaded it may experience tempory slowdowns. Many have reported using 100GB+ and never noticing being slowed down.

 

 And it's per line.

 

Warning, you cannot hotspot / tether with the unlimited plan.

@Miokitty Running the unlimited plan last month I somehow (and let me stress I had to work to hit this number) hit 42 GB last month... no slowdown or network re-priortization at all on my end, could still stream videos and music and multitask web searches with no issues.

Thank you @sandblaster , @Gary L , and @JohnnyDoe

My main concern is my daughter can easily blow through 22GB a cycle, while I tend to use around 5GB/month. I wanted to make sure if she goes over and a slowdown was warranted, it would only occur on her line and not mine (provided I am not over as well). It sounds like that's the case, so I'll make the switch. Thank you!

@Miokitty Definitely won't have to worry if she goes over... the 22 GB threshold is per line like @Gary L mentions above.

 

If you get really bored, you can read the fine print from ATT which mentions this also.
