Also known as: block, gigabyte block
A prepaid bundle of gigabytes, commonly 25 GB to 1 TB, that stays valid until the data is used up. Blocks have no monthly fee and usually no expiry date, which makes them a cheap second source on a different backbone: the downloader fetches whatever the primary account is missing and burns only those few gigabytes.
