Once your line exceeds 22 GB during your bill cycle, most of the time you'll continue to enjoy the same great network experience.

If you've already used 22 GB on a particular line during your current bill cycle and are on a cell site that's congested at that moment, your download may be temporarily queued behind other Verizon customers. This may result in slower download speeds relative to another Verizon customer's experience on the same cell site at that moment.

Purchasing a Data Boost will not prevent your data from being temporarily slower in times of congestion.
