Tmo unlimited data plan?

So i have unlimited plan with tmo and i used 6.05gb of data now my web is slow as hell.i got a msg saying they reduced my data speed because i used over 5gb of data.so i guess our unlimited data planes arent so unlimited.
Anyone else have this prob? Any solutions?

You've been throttled my friend. Its still technically "unlimited" but at a lower speed. Its in the fine print unfortunately ...they fail to tell us that when signing up...
There's a rumor there's a fix to it...
Put www.internet2.com in the apn settings...I haven't tried it because I barely hit 4gb/month. Give it a whirl.

wait till your new billing cycle rolls around and stop using so much data.
I think something is jacked with the data collection service. I went from 6.99GB of data on one day, and by the next morning they said i used 2.5GB of data via my phone in one 12hr period. And no i wasn't tethering.

You are correct in the fact that they do not outright tell you this, however, if you read the data usage contract they give you, they state it there. Fair Usage Policy. They never shut it off, so technically it's unlimited, but 5GB throttle down close to dial-up/Edge speeds is what you are going to get until your next billing cycle.

from what speed were you throttled down to what speed?

Yah throttled is a bltch...... My billing cycle usually is on the 23rd and supposedly I went over 5gig on the 27th of last month, I dont know how the hell that happened when I used it less than I usually do. I didnt even tether at all last month....

Yeah. S2k projectors with 5 series halos.

I thought that the standard 29.99 and then 20 dollar loyalty plans limit was 10gb a month before being throttled.
I used to have an HD2, and was able to get 5gigs a month with the 9.99 tzones plan

Um...?
So which app is wrong? I last month I got a text saying I was going to be throttled this month however did not receive a text. I have been tethering the crap out of my phone this month cuz the damn modem broke, but have not seen any repercussions. It's blatantly obvious something has gone wrong here. Not complaining though just wanting to learn more about how it works.

look at it this way. at least the unlimited cap (that sounds so stupid), isn't 2gb like some carriers. but im not liking this trend of paying more for less.

I was throttled in December, 2 weeks into the billing cycle. The device would still show the "H" but it was Edge speeds...
I still use a lot of mobile data, but don't break the 5GB mark any longer...as soon as I get home I hook onto WiFi.
It is still unlimited, though. Hell, remember old phones and their SLOW WAP access? At least it's better than that...

Post your abuse!

This month I've used about 49 GB's in just 2 weeks. How about you? POWER UERS ONLY!

Please post back when Sprint pulls the plug an cancels your account.
I'm rooted and do use wifi tether from time to time. But only when what ever it is I'm doing can't be done on my eVo.
I mean 49GB in 2 days is just plain abuse. That's 3.5GB's a day... thats a serious amount of data.
Last month I used just under 3GB's of 3g data for my whole billing cycle. I did use over 40GB's of data over wifi. And I consider myself a power user, big time. I use my eVo for everything, from sending and receiving pictures through mms(I'm a chef and always sending/receiving pics to/from other chefs to try and one up one another), writing and editing daily special menus and regular menus to doing all of my daily cost control spread sheets. Not to mention going online to find at pricing and availability on products I use or need.
Trust me m8, more than likely you have Sprints attention. Keep us up to date on any emails or phone calls you get... Good Luck!!!!

You speak as if Sprint has no idea wat ur doing... u just posted ur usage stats directly from ur account from Sprint's website. Remember karma does not have favorites or exceptions so don't be surprised when Sprint cuts u off like Lorena Bobbit did to her hubby's man-parts. Then we will see a noticeable increase in data speeds since leeches like u r forcefully removed from the network.

Good job. Expect a letter soon.

Yea some torrents. And @ the other haters, I can't afford Comcast and I think my Sprint bill is a little high. So yeah, instead of paying for both, I cancelled Comcast and use Sprint as my only ISP. So of course the usage is high, who gives a ****, if I'm paying for it. Check your usage at home and tell me it isn't high. And "getting a letter from Sprint", this has been my average usage for the past 7 months, so I doubt it.

Compared to what you could be paying on other carriers I think it's safe to say that your Sprint bill is quite fair.

At least we know that if data is eventually tiered we won't be charged extra like ATT and VZW customers.
Throttling is by far the lesser of two evils.
What's sad is this wouldn't effect me even if I went over. I average ~256kbps anyway

Well...I wouldn't mind 256k speeds right now! They need to fix some stuffs, ASAP. I'm burnin up the interwebs @60kps on 3G currently.

+1 on the throttling. Id hate to pay overage charges. i believe that sprint is not gonna do it in the near future ( hoping... i repeat hoping it wont at least) but of course it could happen. they are using the fact that everyone else is doing it as a little marketing push.

Keep in mind it was Clearwire that was expanding the network.
We know that Clearwire was switching to LTE and that Lightsquard's (LTE) name was thrown into the mix.
There was a rumor about Sprint buying Clearwire too.

Clear is in a funding issue. Will it is generating revenue it ran out of funds to massively expand without more funds.
That is the reason why it has stopped expanding.
A sprint acquisition would mean they could expand with the funds that Sprint has more readily available than Clear does right now.

Would that mean new devices or just an update to work with lte? If it went to lte.. otherwise, massive 4g expansion would ve cool too

Im thinking it will have something to do with their network capacity/bandwidth.
But The main thing will be the buying the rest of Clear. It is a very logical step.
plus if you didn't know they either pay Clear monthly or a one time fee for each 4g device they sell. technically they would save money as well as be able to funnel Clear up the arse with $$ better than how it is being funneled now. My bet is a full ownership and incorporation of Clear wire into SPRINT-nextel. Then phasing out IDEN and using spectrum for Clear if it is possible or Lightsquard.

maybe they will remove the 10 charge? LoL

WTF, where did the AT&T&TMO and Sprint come from, have you heard something I haven't heard, That would really suck getting sucked back into ATT tierd data plan they had pushed on me before I left

I for one, don't have much hope for anything useful. i've been going back and forth with sprint (phone, twitter, email, however i can get them to answer me) about my consistent lack of data. They never have anything helpful to say. To be honest, i'm about burned out on Sprint and their "announcements". Like the others said, that Kyocera Echo was like spitting in the face of your users. Utterly disappointing.
Seriously, short of an announcement that the wimax would actually work and that data would be useable, i don't care.

John Legere to lay down the ban hammer on those hacking tethering

According to John Legere, today is the day he will start cracking down on an estimated 3,000 heavy abusers, some who are using up to 2TB a month of data, by means of hacking the tethering ability on their phone. I wonder how many of you here will be hearing from John and the Executive team at T-Mobile?
http://newsroom.t-mobile.com/issues-insights-blog/stopping-network-abusers.htm

Game over...
It sucks that this is happening. I live in a place where I only get 3mbps download on my home DSL.
Comcast refuse to wire my house because it's too complicated. So occasionally I use tmobile and hidden tether. Tmobile provides me about 20mbps download at my house vs DSL.
Yes, I use hidden tether, but I never maxed over 50gb/month.

I dont think you have to worry about tethering 50GB a month. I think it's the people who are using hundreds EVERY MONTH lol. But for those who are using that much, time to figure something else out. If anyone here gets contacted, please update us!

I'm with twe90kid. I've never reached the 50GB barrier yet either.

I have been with T-Mobile for about a month and never touched the tethering option, lol. It won't affect me too much. Wi-Fi and data are around the same speeds for me

From the below quote; I'm hoping he's not going to use this as an excuse to lock down phones or deny service to rooted phones.
"They’re downloading apps that hide their tether usage, rooting their phones, writing code to mask their activity, etc. They are “hacking” the system..."

From his Periscope, this applies to anyone using some means of hiding tether - no matter the overage. Once you go over that 7GB limit, its slow down time and I'm happy they finally did it.

These abusers will probably try to distract everyone by waving their arms about throttling data

Note that Legere is fully aware that thieves will continue to justify their actions and switch the blame to T-Mobile.
I hope he find a way to crackdown on all the data hogs out there.

I agree. Even when I did use to tether hack, I think the most I used was around 50GB. 2TB is complete insanity.

Good riddance

You know who you are people.
"It purifies my heavens, and makes my thoughts Pure"

what's the 7G's he's talking about?
I'm on the truly unlimited with 5 G's of tethering. I have the tether hack app too. I normally tether about 1-4 G's to my tablet thru the built-in tethering. The only time I use the hack is when I'm away from home for an extended period of time, once or twice a year, and have yet to go over 7 G's while doing so. On the other hand I regularly use 40 - 60 G's on my phone a month. What's the 7 G's they're talking about?

I don't think he cares about people rooting their phone. That doesn't cost them money

Rooting per se doesn't cost carriers money. But what people do with root can translate to lost revenue. From a purely business standpoint, limiting (or outright banning) people that tether truckloads of data is completely reasonable.

I'll keep tethering, these warnings come about every 6 months. Folks will express their opinions, share some misconceptions about what tethering does to network health but never seem dig below the surface and see that the majority of people that tether AREN'T cranking down insane amounts of data. Heck I can easily hit 60gb a month without tethering. Some will say that is detrimental to the network. I would love an objective look at the amount of users and a break down of how many users use what amount of data.. Or ya know keep tossing vague scare tactics our way.
You want to stop tethering stop making it so easy to defeat with client side provisioning and user agent sniffers.

I used to use mine for home internet i would hit like 100GB a month. I was talking to the TMO Rep and he said most of the employees do it too.

Lol John is going to end of firing his work staff. How ironic would it be if it turns out that they are tethering all the devices in the stores because of internet bill on the LAN Line!
