Gen5 SmartBrowsing?
Does Gen5 have SmartBrowsing like Gen4 did, or are the new, higher FAP speeds taking the place of "SmartBrowsing"?
To be honest... SmartBrowsing replaced the FAP... Soo...
What's so smart about SmartBrowsing?
You can browse normally as long as you stick to Web browsing and email. Stuff that uses a lot of data, such as streaming, won't work, and will lead to FAP. At least on Gen4. Is that smart? Yes, it is. Users never got this with Gen3. It's been a big improvement.
SmartBrowsing would kick in after you had run out of data (if you were on a plan that had it). It could differentiate between simple web page downloads and active downloading. If the latter, SmartBrowsing would "disengage" and throttle you to the much lower speed. If just browsing, it allowed you to keep doing so with no noticeable difference.
