And using SK Telecom via mobile. The mobile is my INTERNET Router by hot-spot (Device: LG V30 Androidphone). And my maximum usage are 2 Gigabytes data per month. If i reach 2 Gigabytes, my download speeds decrease. Just decrease, not stop. And the total charges are 59900 Won per month. Again, i just normal user in South Korea. And i do not know about "gigabit download speed". Thanks, Sincerely, Byung-Hee -- ^고맙습니다 _布德天下_ 감사합니다_^))//
