You don't understand what a "limit" is, when someone says "I've reached my limit" it means they are no longer able to continue, they've hit the peak. You can continue to use data beyond 21GB. It does not cut you off beyond that point.

No different than ATTs "limit". They only slowed down the connection to dial-up speeds after you hit their arbitrary number. You could still keep going. Oh wait, you confused concepts didn't you?
Your car doesn't cut you off at 55mph either, that doesn't change the fact that you are at the "limit" or beyond.

There's a difference between the throttling ATT did (cutting your speed from 4G LTE to under 100k), and deprioritization (Allowing full 4G LTE speed, slightly delayed during peak hours of extreme network congestion.) You clearly know nothing about network communication if think this is a limit in any way.
This is a basic misunderstanding of the word limit. Fifty-five doesn't describe the limit of your car, it describes the fastest rate at which you can travel to ensure you won't receive a fine.
Let's bring your other dumbshit comment in here so I don't have to respond twice.
limit [lim-it] noun
1.
the final, utmost, or furthest boundary or point as to extent, amount, continuance, procedure, etc.:
Let that actually sink in, so you can kindly STFU and go back to being wrong all by yourself, or you could move the goalposts again, that'd be hilarious.
Incoherent garbage.
