Can anyone confirm the giffgaff Always On cap is 384 kbps = 48 KB/s as described at https://www.giffgaff.com/help/articles/what-does-always-on-mean
I always wonder if they are confusing bits and bytes as surely nothing can be as rubbish as they advertise? (56 kbps reminds me of the 90s and it's a joke of a cap three decades later.)
EE Stay Connected Data historically has been 2 Mbps = 250 KB/s but in a race to becoming rubbish has taken this down to 0.5 Mbps = 500 kbps = 62.5 KB/s
Perhaps an even better follow-on question is whether with zero allowance remaining, you then get full-speed unlimited data from midnight to 0800?

Always On means you never run out of data. You get a set amount of blazingly fast 4G and 5G data, then a reduced data speed of 384 kbps from 8am to midnight.
