So apparently not only does tmobile reduce speed when you go ever your max speed they charge you $1.99 per MB i think or i dont remmber but wth? when did that change? a couple of months ago i went over my 2GB and all i got was slow internet, now they actually charged me. any1 else know about this?
This change was only supposed to affect people who began new contracts/even more plans after that date in august or whenever. I called to confirm and it should not affect you if you began your contract earlier, it should only throttle your speed as you said. I would call customer service to get it cleared up.
They shouldn't charge you per MB on any 2GB smartphone plan. Only throttling applies AFAIK.
Per MB charges should be on dumbphone plans and plans like the 500mb/month allotment.
Well originally my plan was the unlimited and I changed it to the 2GB and when I called tmobile they said they charge by the MB.

You answered your own problem. You switched from unlimited, which consists of 2gb fast and unlimited throttled, to a 2gb plan. So anything over 2gb is in excess of your plan.

Wait what? They have no speed plans. Its unlimited bandwith, 2GB bandwith and 200MB bandwidth. Idk if you have seen any tmobile ads but one of their main things when I got my contract renewed was there's no extra charge like at&t or verizon does, they just throttle ur internet.but idk I have to bring my mytouch 4G in for replacement and get it cleared up then.

From my understanding they only charge you for going over if you're on the 200MB plan.

That's how T-mobile chooses to control how much data people use. Rather than cap or charge overages, they just slow you down after a certain point.

This sounds right, but I wasn't aware that T-mobile had a capped 2GB plan? That would have a lot of confusion with the "Unlimited" plans that just slow down at 2GB.
I would much rather have the throttle then an mb/$ after 2gbs.
Hit it once, had it for 2 days... it sucked lol.
Now I turn on wifi when at home and don't even get close to 2gigs

Sprint is already going to start capping WiFi tethering plans to 5GB, and has said that throttling connections in the future is not off the table.
It'll happen eventually. Probably after they get flooded with customers when the iPhone comes to their network. Happened to AT&T and Verizon.

So sprint claim the 10.00 fee is for uncapped data right? So riddle me this why can't I upload a video to youtube more than 100mb? Wouldn't you say that's capped? I call bull**** on this fee. Well after talking to 3 sprint reps today the 3rd one finally told me the truth about that fee its for the 4g access that everyone is not able to get right now. Sprint need to realize that there are smart people in the world. Sprint cut the bull**** and take that bull**** fee off until the 4g is up everywhere.
Sent from my SPH-D700 using XDA App
that fee is to uncap the "unlimited data" which is actually limited to 5gb/month on 3g. Has nothing to do with 4g.
It is Sprints thinking that with these super phones, that we will use more data.
Guess what, I agree with them.

Hell no i dont agree with that ****..... i used avg 8-10g a month for years on wm phones (with no overage fees cause theres never been a cap ).. now with android im sitting around 3-4g.. i think they owe me 10 a month!!!!
Seriously? You called back 3 times to talk to Sprint until someone finally told you what you wanted to hear? To answer your question, the 10.00 is to keep the internet unlimited on and off of the 4g network. My guess is that you also use the phone as modem / tethering 'fixs' for free too then gripe about the bandwidth on a service you don't pay for. If you cant handle the 79.99 per month find another carrier with a better deal.
BTW it's the youtube app for android that has a 100mb limit, not the carrier.

@Hayabusa1300cc, for data cards and embedded devices (netbook/tablet) the cap is 5gb for 3g and unlimited for 4g.
For mobile phones it is unlimited on 3G and 4G with 300mb of roaming data, which is how you have guys like Lazydazed who routinely use more than 5gb from their moble phones.
This thread needs to be closed. We have enough threads open about the fee already.

This is 100% accurate, and yes I do work for Sprint. I want to clarify that non-roaming 3G is unlimited on all phones, not just when you have the $10 Premium Data charge. The $10 Premium Data is for the 4G phones only and is mandatory on 4G devices. If you're not going to be using 4G, why buy a 4G phone if the charge bothers you?
We have bunch of thread about Throttle Data. If you don't like getting throttle please sign this petition and spread the word in our xda community. We need to get more people sign this petition faster so we can resolve the issue. And tell At&t to F*** Off because i hate when I pay for unlimitated data and only get about 3.5 to 4 GB with full speed. SO PLEASE SIGN THIS PETITION HERE.
Honestly speaking, will this really do anything? At&t reserves the right to throttle or stop your data service as they see fit. Shady and screwed up, I know, but it is defined in the contract we signed when we all got service from them.
My data isn't throttled, but I don't actually use more than 3GB a month.

Thread moved. Would advise you to read forum rules and post in correct section.
Failure to comply with forum rules will result in an infraction and/or ban depending on severity of rule break.
Well we know how these companies tend to suck our hard earned money.
We have to sign a contract and still limit our usage.
I suggest move to another network which have a better data plan from AT&T.
This wouldn't do anything. It's obvious no one likes data throttling.

T-Mobile does have 5GB and 10GB options that now include FREE TETHERING! Yes, you're still throttled after the 5 or 10GBs of data. But.....5GB for 30$ including tethering beats AT&T easily. 10GB for 60$ including tethering as well.... (referencing classic plan pricing here) is not bad either.
Only Verizon ATM beats it with Their double data promo (example: 10GB for 5GB price of 50$). That's a promo, not everyday pricing either.
Oh, yeah....NO TETHERING INCLUDED on Verizon either.....

Generally they begin capping around 2gigs. Not bad though for $45. Only reason this appeals to me is I can't get T-Mobile 3/4g service but I can get AT&T hspda service. As far as I know, this is the cheapest unlimited plan that runs on AT&T's network.

It does, unlimited minutes and messages, 4G with speeds throttled after the first 2G - but it's only available as a family plan: 2 phones, 2 plans, 2 x $50 / mo.
Great if you've got a family member who's interested, and you both live in the t-m ob footprint.
The same plan's available BYOD for $60/mo, which is a lot more when you consider that the family plan includes phones.

Might be good add a back up
I used Simple Mobile's $40 per month plan and data speeds were horrible. It was so bad I switched to their $60 unlimited. Then this past weekend T-mo had that free phone giveaway thing for new customers, so I ended up signing up for the $60 plan for 2GB of data. Same price as Simple and I only really use about 2GB per month anyway, so it works well for me plus a free Galaxy S 2 is always cool with me.
The one thing about t-mo I really like is that if you call them there are a lot more options than what you see on the web. For example, I use Google Voice so I don't need SMS. That cuts $10 out of the bill right there, but you have to call to get them to take that out, can't do it via the web I don't think.
When is the Straight Talk SIM plan coming out?! Will they do 4G? God, I hope so, $45 bucks for all the **** they offer is a STEAL, especially if you use it with a smartphone... Unlike I am doing with GoPhone ATM

Knowing AT&T, if you use Straight Talk, the data speeds are probably capped at 512kbps.
Didn't work for me. I cannot even use SMS with their unlimited $45 plan. Data is down as well. I'm on Straighttalk AT&T SIM card. Customer support reset the options on their side twice, but it didn't help. I tried two different phones with this SIM card to no avail.
texts should be working but for data, did you put in the new APNs? Data wont just work if you just insert the SIM card in since AT&T and ST have different APN's
Its about time this happened. And hopefully other carriers will take notice.

People that buy phones see unlimited and they are like hell yea. Sprint used to throttle me all the time so I switched over to T-Mobile and the data is faster with sprint the data was fast but if I downloaded a file I would lose signal for about 30 secs then would come back on.
I am done with Straight Talk. When it works, it works. But when it doesn't, it Sucks. And everyone knows how BAD their customer service is. I'm planning to switch to Go Smart mobile. Anyone use their service? And is it decent? I do ALOT of calls and messaging. But I barely use any data. Maybe 1gb a month from streaming music and navigation. I'm looking at their $35 plan. Any advice would be appreciated.
Sent from my Nexus 4 using xda app-developers app
it's owned by T-Mobile so just check their coverage map.
For the $35 plan you will still connect to 3G, but throttled to 2G-like speed @ 128kbps. I don't think you can stream and browse with that kind of speed. (You can do it, but it won't be fun).
The $45 plan is throttled down to 1Mbps.
I think the $30 plan is best if you only use WiFi. Other plans get throttled too much for my taste.

It just works, flawlessly, all the time... It might cost a little more than ST/Net10, but it is worth it, and if you have any issues just walk into a local AT&T corporate store and they take care of it or their tech support/customer service is actually pretty good from the little I have had to deal with them.
The GoPhone plans don't seem so hot... $60 for 2GB of data on a smartphone is pricey for a prepaid plan. AIO Wireless is owned by AT&T and gives you 2GB for $55, but it's 2GB of high speed and unlimited throttled data.
If T-Mobile has decent coverage in your area then GoSmart would be worth a shot based on your usage. Music streaming would be fine on their faster plan, and even their slower plan should handle low-bitrate streaming.
Since it's prepaid and no contract, why not try it out and cancel after a month if you're unhappy?

AIO Wireless is throttled all the time, read carefully users who have switched, they limit to about 3MB/s, and their MMS is... ummm... questionable, at times.
Go Phone might be a little more spendy, but for the extra $5 or $10, it is worth it to me.

I used their service for a month, received excellent speeds - for whatever reason just as fast as I would on T Mobile LTE and never had reception problems. The issue for me was the data - I thought it would he throttled when you hit your cap but it just store working altogether. Of you know you can limit yourself it's worth ire bit otherwise I would suggest T Mobile prepaid.
There's always Solavei which I recently signed up for and find it to be the best deal! If you sign up before October 4th then your first month will be $29 (plus tax) and after that you'll pay $49 (plus tax) a month. You get 4gb of 4g data and then throttled to 2g speeds once over the 4gb. You also get unlimited text, mms and calling. SOLAVEI USES T-MOBILES TOWERS FOR DATA/TEXT/CALLS & ROAMS FREELY ON AT&T FOR TEXT/CALLS (NO AT&T DATA)!

Thanks for all the helpful advice. I just don't want to hop prepaid carriers because I have to buy a sim card every time. And I only need data for gps use. Sometimes I stream but I'm always around wifi. 35 bucks for unlimited calls and texts seems like a steal. I don't mind 2g speeds.

Good luck... Just remember if that fail or doesn't work out for whatever reason, GoPhone SIMs are free at any AT&T corporate store.
