A method and system for controlling bandwidth usage. A mobile device receives zone data that identifies a zone within a cell coverage area. The mobile device receives bandwidth data associated with the zone that identifies a first controlled maximum bandwidth rate. The mobile device determines that it is in the zone, and in response thereto, controls bandwidth usage by the mobile device based on the first controlled maximum bandwidth rate.
