Is There a Limit on Zain Unlimited Data Plan?
Yes, Zain’s “unlimited” data plans often include Fair Usage Policies (FUP). These impose speed reductions after reaching a set data threshold—even if the data is advertised as unlimited.
📊 Zain Unlimited Plan Limits (Saudi Arabia)
| Plan Name | Speed Limit After FUP | Daily/Monthly Cap (Approx.) |
|---|---|---|
| Unlimited Prepaid | 5 Mbps after ~20–30GB/day | Soft cap varies by plan |
| Unlimited Postpaid 299 | May slow after 150–200GB | Monthly soft cap applies |
| 5G Home Unlimited | Full speed, then throttled | Depends on usage pattern |
⚠️ What Happens After You Reach the Limit?
- Speed may drop to 512 Kbps – 1 Mbps
- Video streaming drops to 480p or lower
