What “unlimited” really means: the speed after your daily limit in 171 countries
Every unlimited travel eSIM has a daily full-speed allowance. After it, you stay online at a reduced speed. Almost nobody says how slow. We looked at all 763 daily plans we sell across 171 destinations.
64%of countries keep 1 Mbps after the daily limit on the plan we recommend there
99%of big plans (5 to 10 GB a day) drop to 384–512 kbps after the limit
108 of 171countries run on a single network
99countries with 5G on at least one plan
The surprise: more data a day, slower “unlimited”
On plans with 1 to 3 GB a day, 71% keep 1 Mbps once the allowance runs out. On plans with 5 to 10 GB a day, 99% drop to 384 or 512 kbps. Paying for a bigger daily allowance usually buys a slower connection after it. If you rarely pass 2 GB a day, a mid-size plan is both cheaper and faster when you do.
What each speed is good for
| Speed after the limit | Works well | Struggles |
|---|---|---|
| 1 Mbps | Maps and navigation, WhatsApp and FaceTime calls, music, messages with photos | HD video, big uploads |
| 512 kbps | Maps, messaging, voice calls, music at normal quality | Video, video calls, sending videos |
| 384 kbps | Maps, messaging, email | Music streaming, any video |
These are the caps each network sets; at busy times real speeds can be lower.

How we measured
Source: the full catalog of daily plans Surfalo sells, as of 24 September 2026: 763 daily plans in 171 destinations. “After the limit” is the speed cap each plan applies once its daily full-speed allowance is used. Hotspot is allowed on all of them. Prices are Surfalo's price per day in US dollars.

Questions
Is an unlimited eSIM really unlimited?
Yes in the sense that it never cuts you off, no in the sense of full speed all day. Every plan in this study has a daily full-speed allowance and then a reduced speed, from 384 kbps to 1 Mbps, until the day resets.
What speed will I get after my daily data runs out?
It depends on the country and the plan: 1 Mbps in 110 of 171 countries on the plan we recommend, 512 kbps in most of the rest. The table above has every country.
Can I use hotspot on an unlimited eSIM?
On every plan in this study, yes. Hotspot uses the same daily allowance.
