Internet tariffs with a speed limit will have a speed limit of 64 kilobits per second after the daily Internet traffic is exhausted, instead of 128 kilobits. Unlimited Internet tariff plans (except for the Unlimited Internet tariff plan) will have a daily limit on Internet traffic at the maximum speed.[6]
